What is Botox?

Botox, named on a quote

Three labels you may see on a Botox quote

Quotes and reference pages do not always use the same word for this treatment. The pages linked here use Botox, botulinum toxin and Botox injections side by side, and one of them describes its cosmetic use. No price is given here.

What to know before you read a quote

A quote for Botox is easier to read if you know what it is for. Start with the MedlinePlus page on Botox and botulinum toxin injections, then read the Cleveland Clinic reference on cosmetic uses and side effects. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons page on botulinum toxin and its short blog post on what to know about Botox are worth reading side by side.

What to ask once you have read

Once you know the basics, ask the provider what the quote is for, how it is priced, and what is included. Get the answers in writing so you can compare more than one quote fairly. The other pages in the Botox and neurotoxins section go into safety, timing and aftercare.

A note on advice

This site explains what Botox quotes cover and has no clinical role, so a licensed provider who knows your history is the right person to say whether Botox suits you.
