Anti-wrinkle injections relax the muscles that crease skin — forehead lines, frown lines and crow's feet are the classic three areas. Pricing is per area or per unit, and results last three to four months.
What moves the price
- Per-unit versus per-area pricing — compare the total dose, not the headline
- Number of areas treated
- Prescriber oversight: legitimate clinics involve a doctor or nurse practitioner
What is inside a quote
Non-surgical pricing is simpler: the practitioner's time, the product or consumables used, and the clinic's overheads. Ask whether the quote is per session or covers a full course — most treatments need several sessions.
