Botox

[Thompson24]

hi guys

Do you offer botox in your salon, I used to offer collagenics in my last salon, and customers used to really complain at the price of £240 for one area. Im in process of opening a new salon and want to offer botox however the area seems to have good clientel but other salons are offering a nurse in there salon at £100 a treatment. In our town there more driven by price rather than quality etc. I was wondering if anyone just used a nurse or do you use a national company?

We have a doctor in to do ours. she charges 150 for the first area, 100 per area after that

Standard rates average from approx £200/area, additional £50/area.

My charges are £225 for one area, £275 for 2, £325 for 3 - additional areas £50 (smokers lines, DAO's etc. ) - however I am about to increase these prices.


£100 per treatment you say - that could mean per area ?? For three areas (common) pricing would be around £300 - so actually pretty standard pricing. If the price relates to more than one area (as opposed to treatment) then I would really question where the supplies are coming from - way, way to cheap!

Be wary of cheap practitioners. It really is not professional to 'undercut' prices for medical cosmetic treatments. If you are good - you don't need to! You are also paying for the skill and experience of the practitioner, which should not be underestimated - particularly with regards to these treatments.

HARLEY ST charges £250 for 4 areas. x

Not the entire Harley Street! Most drs in Harley Street charge around £500/600 for 3 areas. (4 areas is unusual) - would be lower face. I even know one Harley Street dr who charges £700. I have a clinic there X

We do £170 for one area, £210 for 2, £240 for 3 in South Wales. We also do a special of £200 for all three if theres more than 2-3 people together.

We've found that this is a pretty competitive price.

Agreed. It costs us more than £100 for a vial of decent botox (we use Xeomin) so dont know what you'd get for £100. I dread to think !!!!

I have just had mine done yesterday, I only have my forehead which is four injections, and that was £120. Which for my area is very good. If any of my clients want botox, fillers etc, I send them to my lovely Dr friend Janet.

That would class as one area. Although you would never just inject botox into a forehead, because of the action of that muscle (will cause ptosis - drooping of the eyebrows), so is not advisable. You have to compensate by injecting into another area (called glabella complex) to compensate for this - meaning two areas. I suspect you mean glabella complex? Or I would hope so.

The number of injection sites is very patient specific, so some people require more than others. When injecting into forehead - less is definitely best.

Luckily, no droopy eyebrows in sight. So as you said, it is important to get the right look for each indvidual patient, further more alot of information and investigating about the person you are going to see for the procedure. I totally agree with you less is more for that softer look. I prefer not to go round looking unnatural, age is a beautiful thing and we should embrace it.

 

[daisyl]

absolutely. I always tell my patients, whatever treatment I am doing, whether it be botox, fillers etc that the key is to look 'well' for your age, not to look 'younger' so to speak. There has to be balance. If you can tell what procedure an individual has had, then imo they have had too much product. A natural look is so much better. Which is why my patients choose to come back to me.

I prefer a natural look but if the client wants that frozen look then that is what I give them. If you don't give them what you want (albeit there are instances where you wouldn't/shouldn't do this) or what they ask for then they could come back with a complaint. It's a 2 way consultation process, find out what they want to achieve and as the practitioner you should say what you can do to give the best result.
