How much does Botox / Neuromodulator Injections cost in Tampa?
- $13–$18 per unit; typical treatments 20–60 units.
Forehead & Glabella
The most requested area. We smooth horizontal forehead lines and the "11s" between the brows while maintaining natural brow position.
Crow's Feet & Eyes
Fine lines around the eyes that deepen with every smile. Precise lateral placement softens these without affecting your natural expression.
Advanced Areas
Lip flip, chin dimpling, jawline slimming (masseter), neck bands, and hyperhidrosis. These require advanced anatomical expertise.
The Science of Relaxation.
Botox and Dysport work by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for expression lines. When administered by a board-certified dermatologist, the result is a refreshed, natural appearance, never frozen. We customize every treatment to your unique facial anatomy, targeting the specific muscles driving your lines while leaving surrounding areas untouched.
Dermatologist-Level Precision. Our dermatologists have an intimate understanding of facial anatomy that goes beyond surface aesthetics. We utilize advanced techniques including micro-dosing for the "lip flip," targeted platysmal bands for neck rejuvenation, and strategic placement for hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating). Every unit is placed with clinical intent.
Frequently Asked.
How long does Botox last?
Results typically last 3 to 4 months. With consistent treatment, many patients find their results extend over time as the muscles are trained to relax.
Does it hurt?
Most patients describe the sensation as a small pinch. We use ultra-fine needles and can apply topical numbing for sensitive areas.
What is the difference between Botox and Dysport?
Both are neuromodulators with the same mechanism of action. Dysport may spread slightly more, which can make it ideal for treating broader areas like the forehead, while Botox is often preferred for more targeted placement. Our dermatologists select the optimal product based on your treatment area and aesthetic goals.
When will I see results?
Initial softening begins within 2-3 days, with full results visible at the 2-week mark. We offer a complimentary follow-up to assess and refine.
Can Botox prevent wrinkles?
Yes. Preventive or "baby Botox" uses lower doses to slow the formation of expression lines before they become etched into the skin at rest.
Is this covered by insurance?
Cosmetic Botox is not covered by insurance. However, Botox for medical conditions like hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) may be covered. We provide transparent pricing at your consultation.
