The average cost for a Botox treatment is between $300 and $600; this is due to dosage typically being between 30-40 units of Botox for multiple injection sites. However, depending on the location of the injection and your physical location, the final cost may vary. (Source: PlasticSurgery.org)

How Long Does It Take Botox to Work?
You’ll begin to see the results of your Botox injection within the first week after your treatment, typically within 3-4 days. For the full effect, you’ll likely see the final results within 14 days. (Source: Healthline)
How Long Do Botox Results Last?
On average, Botox lasts about 3-4 months. The neurotoxin will eventually wear off and be metabolized by the body, which causes the results to fade. However, it’s important to know that Botox affects people differently; in some cases, first-time Botox recipients have had their results last as short as two months, whereas other patients have had their results last between 4-6 months. Typically, there are three main factors that influence how long your Botox results will last: injection site, dosage, and metabolism. (Source: PlasticSurgery.org & Elite Tampa)
