PRICING

One rate. Nothing hidden.

Botox is dosed in units, not areas — so charging per unit is the only way the price matches the treatment. Below are the unit ranges we see most often. Your exact dose depends on muscle strength, anatomy and the result you want, and it is confirmed with you before we begin.

No consultation fee

Assessment, dosing plan and written quote at no charge, whether or not you proceed.

Free two-week touch-up

If the result is asymmetric at your follow-up, corrective units are on us.

No minimum purchase

Treat one area or several. We will not talk you into units you do not need.

SEPARATE SERVICE

Traptox — trapezius Botox

Botulinum toxin placed into the upper trapezius on both sides. It softens the bulk of the muscle for a longer, sloped neckline, and for most people it also takes the edge off the chronic tightness that sits between the neck and shoulders.

Because the trapezius is a large, strong muscle, it needs a much higher dose than any facial area — which is why it is quoted as its own service rather than added to a facial treatment.

ONSETTension eases in 1-2 weeks; visible slimming at 4-6 weeks.
LASTS3-6 months — usually longer than facial treatment.
DOWNTIMENone. Skip heavy shoulder and overhead lifting for 48 hours.
NOTENot suited to heavy overhead athletes — we discuss this first.

MEDICAL TREATMENT

Botox for chronic migraine

Botulinum toxin is approved as a preventive treatment for chronic migraine — 15 or more headache days a month, with 8 or more of those being migraine. It is not a rescue medication for an attack in progress; it reduces how many headache days you have over the following months.

Injections follow the standard 31-site protocol across the forehead, temples, back of the head, neck and shoulders. It takes about 15 minutes, needs no anaesthetic, and you drive yourself home.

WHAT IT COSTS HERE
$1,000/ session

Chronic migraine treatment is commonly reimbursed by private and extended health plans with a neurologist or physician diagnosis. We provide itemised receipts, drug codes and prior-authorisation paperwork.

Two cycles to judge it

Benefit builds over the first and second treatment. We reassess with a headache diary at 24 weeks before committing further.

Fewer headache days

In clinical use most responders see a meaningful drop in monthly headache days and less reliance on acute medication.

Aesthetic effect included

The forehead and glabellar sites are part of the protocol, so frown and forehead lines soften as a side effect — at no extra cost.

Also treated this way

Jaw clenching and TMJ pain, cervical dystonia referrals, and excessive underarm sweating.

What the visit looks like

01 / 15 MIN
Assessment

Medical history, muscle movement at rest and in animation, and what you actually want to change. You get a unit count and a total before anything is drawn up.

02 / 10 MIN
Injection

Fine 32-gauge needles, no anaesthetic needed for most areas. Discomfort is brief and described as a pinch.

03 / 3-4 DAYS
Onset

Movement begins to soften. Stay upright for four hours, skip strenuous exercise for the rest of the day, and no facials for two weeks.

04 / 2 WEEKS
Review

Full effect is visible. We photograph, compare and correct asymmetry at no charge. Then back in 3-4 months.

Questions people ask

Why charge per unit instead of per area?

Because per-area pricing charges a strong forehead and a light one the same amount. Per-unit means a conservative first treatment genuinely costs less, and you can see exactly what you paid for on the receipt.

How many units will I need?

A first-time aesthetic patient treating one or two upper-face areas usually lands between 20 and 50 units. We start conservatively and add at the two-week review rather than overtreating on day one.

Will I look frozen?

Not unless you ask for that. Dosing is matched to how much movement you want to keep, and we would rather underdose and top up than take expression away.

Is migraine Botox covered by insurance?

Often, yes — for diagnosed chronic migraine under private or extended health plans, usually after a documented trial of oral preventives. Aesthetic treatment and Traptox are never covered. Bring your plan details and we will help with prior authorisation.

Who should not have Botox?

Anyone pregnant or breastfeeding, with a neuromuscular disorder such as myasthenia gravis or ALS, an active skin infection at the site, or a known allergy to botulinum toxin or albumin. We screen for all of this at consult.

What are the side effects?

Most commonly small bruises or pinpoint redness that settle in a day or two, and occasionally a mild headache after the first treatment. Temporary brow or eyelid droop is uncommon and resolves as the effect wears off.
