Question 15

Why is Botox more expensive for men than for women?

Accepted Answer

Botox for men is usually more expensive than for women because men typically have larger, stronger facial muscles that require more units of Botox to achieve the desired effect:

• Facial muscle mass: Men's faces are often bulkier than women's, so doctors need to use more Botox to treat the same area. 
 • Injection patterns: Men and women have different injection patterns for Botox. 
 • Supplements: Many clinics in the UK charge a supplement for men, ranging from £25–£50. 
 • Treatment areas: Men may need more Botox for their forehead, smile lines, or chin.

On average, women require 30–50 units of Botox for an upper face treatment, while men need 50–80 units.
