The range in pricing can indeed be staggering. In this blog, I’m going to explain why there can be up to a 100% difference in price between the most expensive and the cheapeast advertised botulinum or equivalent toxins. This will help you to understand what you might or might not be getting for your money.

Understanding the Price Shifts

Several factors have contributed to this pricing instability, as there is no longer just one brand of Botulinum Toxin and it is no longer manufactured in just one country, there are many generic versions now available. The UK cosmetic injectable market still lacks proper regulations which leaves you working harder to do your research.

The product itself arrives at the clinic in vacuum sealed powdered form and whilst manufacturer guidelines give stated guidelines on dilution the individual clinic can ultimately choose how much they ‘weaken OR strengthen’ the product with what should be ‘preserved bacteriostatic water’ (which is actually also quite expensive). Take that one step further and some clinics may allegedly even dilute the powder using extremely cheap preservative free bacteriostatic water (usually used for washing out wounds in theatre) bringing the cost down and doing the same job but resulting in a much more painful and very ‘stingy’ treatment of injections.

‘Old School Injectors’ also very rarely use numbing gel (again adding to the cost) at the injection site and whilst this can also aid with patient comfort it will 99% of the time avoiding burning headaches later in the day, but again numbing gel does not come cheap!

Should You Pay More?

All clinics should be regulated by the Quality Care Commission in England. Look our for clinics that are insured but more importantly who that they are who they were trained and accredited by as this will say a lot about their ethics and approach on the subject. Look out for:

• Expertise: They are typically house medically trained professionals who are committed to providing the best possible care. This ensures you’re in the hands of someone with a comprehensive skill set, dedicated to achieving subtle, natural, lasting results.
• Safety Net: Should there be any complications or post-treatment concerns, these professionals are trained to handle them, have the products on on hand to deal with any issues and have the back up of even higher qualified professionals than themselves to ensure your safety. Our clinic offers a 24hr complications access service via our Legacy Academy Mariko Clinic, run by Ian and Claire Felix.

Finding the Right Balance

Choosing a good Cosmetic Practitioner with the right skill set isn’t solely about the price tag. It’s about finding a balance between the cost and desired results, all the while prioritising your safety. It’s about the finding the Injector that can find ‘the art in anatomy’ to achieve the desired result but more importantly one that you feel comfortable to discuss your desired outcomes with and talk about how your current physical condition makes you feel.

Just because they are a highly qualified Dentist does not mean they give The Best Brow Lift!
