Georgia Cost GuideHow does per-unit pricing work?
A unit is how a med spa measures the product it uses. With per-unit pricing, you pay a set price for each unit, and your total is that price multiplied by the units your provider uses. For Botox, our Georgia estimate is $12 to $14+ per unit.
Your provider decides the number of units at the visit, after looking at the area and talking with you about what you want. A price list can't tell you that ahead of time, and we don't list unit counts for that reason. A per-unit price is a rate, not a total.
That is the main catch. Two med spas with the same price per unit can still quote different totals, because the total depends on how much product the provider uses.
What does pricing by the area mean?
Some med spas skip the per-unit rate and quote one price for a treatment area, such as the forehead or the area around the eyes. The spa sets that price up front, so you know the number before you sit down.
Ask what the area price covers, and what happens to the price if your provider recommends something different at the visit. The answers are the difference between a price you can plan around and one that moves.
Neither method is the better deal on its own. An area price is easier to budget for. A per-unit price shows you exactly what you are paying for. Which one costs less depends on how much product your provider recommends, and that is a question for a licensed provider.
Does it matter if a price list says Botox or neurotoxin?
Botox is one brand of neurotoxin, and other brands exist. Some med spas list Botox by name on their price lists. Others list a different brand by name, and a few say only that it is an injectable, with no brand.
We keep the two ranges separate because the price lists do.
- Botox: $12 to $14+ per unit
- Other neurotoxin brands: $10 to $12+ per unit
Two ranges side by side don't say one product is better or worse than another.
If a spa lists only "neurotoxin," ask which product it is, so you are comparing the same thing. A lower price per unit doesn't tell you which visit will cost less overall, since the total depends on how many units your provider uses. Which product fits you is another question for a licensed provider.
How do you compare two med spas fairly?
Ask both for the same thing: a total for the same treatment area, and the price per unit if they use one. Compare the totals, not just the per-unit rate or the area price, and check that each total covers the same things. A spa with a low rate can end up with a higher total than a spa with a higher rate.
Then look at who does the injections and what license they hold. Price is one part of choosing a provider, and it is the part this guide can help with. The rest is worth a conversation at a consultation.
What should you ask before you book?
- Is the price per unit or by the area?
- Which product is it?
- What total should I expect for the area I want treated?
- Is there a consultation fee, and is it credited toward treatment?
- Does the price include a follow-up visit, if my provider wants one?
- Is there a minimum charge, or a membership that changes the price?
- Who does the injections, and what license do they hold?
Questions about the product, the area and the amount are clinical ones. Ask a licensed provider, not a price list. To see what Georgia med spas charge for Botox, fillers and more, read our injectables price ranges.
