The Real Cost of Botox: Why SkinLab by Tribeca MedSpa Charges Per Unit

Feb 21, 2025 | Botox

 

Botox and other neurotoxins have become a staple in aesthetic medicine, helping to smooth wrinkles, prevent fine lines, and create a refreshed, youthful look. However, the cost of Botox varies widely depending on where you go, and many patients find themselves wondering if they’re getting the best value for their investment. At SkinLab NYC, we believe in transparency and fairness when it comes to pricing, which is why we charge for neurotoxins per unit instead of by the area. In this blog, we’ll explain why this pricing model benefits you, how Botox is measured, and how you can save even more with our exclusive Botox Banking program.

Understanding Botox Pricing Models

Many medspas and aesthetic practices charge for Botox “by the area.” This means you’ll pay a fixed price for a specific region of the face or body, such as:

  • Forehead
  • Crow’s feet (outer eye wrinkles)
  • Glabella (the area between the eyebrows, often called the frown lines)

While this may seem straightforward, the issue with this approach is that it doesn’t account for individual variation. Some patients need more Botox to achieve their desired results, while others need less. When you pay per area, you may end up paying the same price as someone receiving significantly more units of Botox, making it a less precise and less cost-effective pricing model.

What Is a Unit of Botox?

A unit of Botox is a standardized measurement that indicates the strength of the treatment. Each unit represents a specific amount of botulinum toxin that, when injected, temporarily relaxes the targeted muscle. The number of units required for optimal results depends on several factors, including:

  • The strength of your muscles
  • The depth of your wrinkles
  • Your aesthetic goals
  • Your history of previous Botox treatments

For example, someone who is getting “Baby Botox” (a lighter, more natural-looking treatment) may only need 10-20 units, whereas someone looking for a more dramatic smoothing effect may require 40-50 units or more.

Why SkinLab NYC Charges Per Unit

At SkinLab NYC, we charge for Botox per unit rather than by the area. This means you only pay for exactly what you use: nothing more, nothing less. Here’s why this pricing model is the best choice for our patients:

1. Fair and Transparent Pricing

With per-unit pricing, you know exactly what you’re paying for. There are no surprises, no hidden fees, and no unnecessary costs. Whether you need just a few units for a subtle refresh or a full correction, you’ll be charged accordingly.

2. Personalized Treatments

Every face is unique, and so is every Botox treatment. Some patients may only need a light touch, while others require more product to achieve their desired outcome. By charging per unit, we ensure that you’re getting a treatment tailored to your specific needs, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

3. More Cost-Effective

Why should someone getting a conservative treatment pay the same as someone receiving a full-face correction? By paying per unit, you’re only spending money on the exact amount of product used, making it a more budget-friendly option over time.

4. Better Understanding of Your Treatment

When you pay per unit, you gain insight into your dosing and treatment plan. Over time, you’ll get a better sense of how many units you need to maintain your results, giving you more control over your aesthetic routine.

The Importance of Choosing a Qualified Injector

When it comes to Botox and other neurotoxin treatments, experience and expertise matter. The results of your treatment depend not just on how many units you receive, but on the skill of the injector administering them.

At SkinLab by Tribeca MedSpa, all neurotoxin injections are performed by highly trained medical professionals, including doctors, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners. Unlike some medspas where treatments may be performed by less experienced practitioners, our team has undergone years of rigorous training and is legally qualified to perform these procedures without physician supervision.

Choosing a qualified injector ensures:

  • Proper dosing to achieve natural-looking results
  • Safe and effective administration of Botox
  • Minimized risk of complications or unwanted side effects

With our expert injectors, you can trust that your treatment will be performed with precision and care, giving you the best possible outcome.
