The Problem with Cheap BOTOX ®

Ever hear about a super-cheap price on BOTOX ^® and wonder why I  don’t (or won’t) offer similar prices? Think it’s because I’m focused on making more money? Although I need to make a living, I believe in fairness to my patients, both in the pricing and the quality of my services, treatments and products, including BOTOX ^®, among others. To that end, it’s important that you understand the realities of super-cheap BOTOX ^®.

Two Facts About BOTOX ^®

Here are two important facts to know about BOTOX ^®, both of which can affect the price and the length of time your BOTOX ^® results will last.

1. When BOTOX ^® is shipped, it is not ready to inject right out of the box. Before injecting it, I must dilute the BOTOX ^® powder with sterile saline (salt water) to manufacturer’s specifications, which is 1 unit of sterile saline to 1 unit of BOTOX ^®.
2. Once diluted, BOTOX ^® has a “shelf life.” It loses potency with each passing day.

What You Get With Super Cheap BOTOX ^®

Remember that old saying, “If it seems too good to be true, it probably is”? That’s the case with BOTOX ^®. When you see a super-cheap price on BOTOX ^®, which would be anything below $10 a unit, it could be because a spa or medical practice has a great deal of diluted BOTOX ^® on hand and wants to get rid of it before it expires—or because it already has. It could be because the practice has over-diluted their BOTOX ^® so it will “go further.” In other words, they added more sterile saline than recommended.

There are two consequences patients experience when they receive “old” BOTOX ^® or BOTOX ^® that has been over-diluted:

1. Poor results: the muscles don’t relax as much as they should, and/or
2. Results fade sooner than they should. In most patients, the results of BOTOX ^® injections last 3-4 months. If the BOTOX ^® is old or over-diluted, results might last only 30-60 days, perhaps even less.

From this, you can easily understand that it’s not a bargain if you get poor results or if you need to go back sooner for more BOTOX ^®, right?

Why Our Dayton BOTOX ^® is Superior

We “group” our BOTOX ^® appointments close together so that I mix only the amount of BOTOX ^® that I need on any particular day. This ensures that my patients always get the freshest and highest concentration of BOTOX ^® available. Scheduling in this manner also saves you money. Our pricing of 20 units of BOTOX ^® is $229, an excellent value.
