| Desired Results | It is most effective to weaken the muscles and improve frown lines, forehead lines, and crow's feet. For certain patients, BOTOX® Cosmetic may at times be used around the mouth or on the neck. It is also used to decrease excessive sweating on palms and underarms, and for migraine or muscle-related headache. |
| Avoid | The effects of BOTOX® may be increased with the use of certain antibiotics (such as aminoglycoside antibiotics) or other drugs that interfere with neuromuscular transmission. Be sure to disclose any and all pre-existing medical conditions and all medications you may be currently taking before undergoing any treatment. |

DermaTouch RN uses UPP (Unit Pricing Policy) to determine the cost of a BOTOX® procedure. This pricing method allows patients to pay for only what they need to treat an area, rather than charging a flat rate for an area. With this method our patients know exactly how many units of BOTOX® they will be purchasing for their given treatment. The regular unit cost for BOTOX® is $13.00.
The cost for the first 20 units of BOTOX® is $175.00 / Each additional unit is $10.00
