Manhattan peeps — My board certified MD/dermatologist charging $125/unit of Botox. Is that what the standard pricing is or is this a rip off?

Guys, I’m back. Called the office. It’s $25/unit. The $ looked like a 1 in what they showed me, so my brain interpreted it as $125x10 = $1250.

Omg along with wrinkles I am clearly losing my mind.

Check out the skin clique! I think I saw they have a provider in NYC. I’ve been using them for almost 2 years for Botox and lip filler. A PA does mine and I’m super happy with the results.

I think you need to clarify that. Maybe they were talking about a half syringe of filler or something else. No one is going to pay that price even if George Clooney was giving it to you.

$125 a unit???

Are you kidding? Oh you are in Manhattan! 17 dollars a unit at my dermatologist

Are you sure? Mine is only $12/unit. The highest I’ve seen is $20/unit

Perhaps that’s the price per vial. Some MDs charge by vial as opposed to units as they are not doing the volume you see in cosmetic practices and need to account for waste.

I never thought of that. I’m making sure that entire vial is being used. Even if I don’t need it! Lol

$25 a unit is high even for the best in nyc. Unless it’s Laura Devgan, she charges astronomical amounts for NYC and is not worth the hype imo.

I’ve only had experience with Dr. Belkin for cosmetic stuff because that’s who I originally found out about but he speaks highly of the other doctors as well

Mine (just outside of NYC) is $17/unit but I've seen it for as low as $10/unit but I wouldn't trust them if it's that cheap.

What???? It’s usually anywhere from like $12-$15 a unit.
