Financing, packages & memberships
Many clinics run membership or 'Botox bank' programs (Allē and Aspire loyalty points from Allergan and Galderma stack on top), which effectively lower your per-visit cost if you treat every 3–4 months. Ask whether a quoted price is per-unit or per-area before you compare.
Botox under ~$9/unit often means over-diluted product, an inexperienced injector, or a loss-leader to upsell you. Dilution and injector skill, not the sticker, decide the result and your safety.
