10 Nov 2009What do doctors pay for Botox? Botox pricing
Prior to the slowing economy and rise of new competition (i.e. Dysport, Allergan has exercised incredible pricing power with Botox.
Based on data furnished to RealSelf, from 1998 to 2008 Allergan price increases for Botox exceeded the rate of inflation 9 out of 11 years.
Since 1997, the cost of Botox moved up $190 to $525 per vial, or 57%. If Botox prices were only adjusted with inflation, the same vial would price out at $447. The price per unit (paid by the doctor) has climbed from $3.35 to $5.25. Botox vials hold 100 units.
Here’s a table showing the historical cost of Botox to doctors (most doctors markup about 2X):

Our skin clinic has been buying Botox for over seven years and we’ve seen the price go up just as shown in the chart. I wish that we were able to keep our own prices increasing but not so. We do make some money on Juvederm and Dysport… but not Botox.
