How is Botox Performed?

The actual procedure of Botox treatment in Chennai is straightforward and does not take more than a few minutes to complete. Botox treatment is an outpatient procedure, meaning it does not require hospitalization, and you will likely be able to go home on the same day of the procedure. Botox usually does not require anesthesia. 

The entire procedure is performed with a very thin needle (about 31 to 32 gauge), so while you may feel slight discomfort and a pinching sensation, there is no major pain involved. However, you can ask your dermatologist to apply an anesthetic ointment for relief if you are worried about pinching or discomfort. 

Once all the preparations are made, and the injection sites are determined, your healthcare provider will inject small amounts of Botox into your skin. The number of shots you require depends on the size of the area being treated and your desired results. To administer the toxin more accurately, your doctor may even use ultrasound to guide the needle to the correct muscles. Botox usually takes 24 to 72 hours to take effect. During this time, it is imperative that you avoid rubbing the injection sites. To avoid the toxin from spreading, your doctor may also instruct you to stay upright for 4 hours after the procedure.

    Types of Botox Procedures and Their Cost in Chennai

    Botox treatment can be performed to treat various cosmetic concerns that require different amounts of Botox to achieve desired results. It is also to be noted that Botox injections are priced per unit of Botox used. On average, the cost of 1 unit of Botox in Chennai can range anywhere from Rs. 400 to Rs. 500.

    Some of the most commonly performed Botox procedures, the units they require, and their respective cost in Chennai are given below:

    • Crow’s Feet: Crow’s feet or lateral canthal lines are fine lines that radiate from the corners of the eyes. Such lines are particularly visible when a person smiles. However, Botox is an FDA-approved treatment for crow’s feet. Generally, a crow’s feet procedure utilizes around 24-30 units of Botox. The average cost of crow’s feet procedure in Chennai can range anywhere from Rs. 8000 to Rs. 10,000.
    • Forehead Lines: Forehead lines are another cosmetic concern that is commonly addressed with Botox. As the name suggests, forehead lines are horizontal wrinkles that appear on your foreskin. Such lines become much more noticeable when you raise your eyebrows. Forehead lines usually require 8-10 units of Botox. The average cost of forehead lines treatment in Chennai can range from Rs. 2800 to Rs. 4000.
    • Glabellar Lines: Commonly known as frown lines, glabellar lines are vertical lines that appear between the eyebrows. Typically, glabellar lines take 12-15 units of Botox, and the average Botox Cost in Chennai for glabellar lines can range anywhere from Rs. 4000 to Rs. 5000.
    • Upper Face Wrinkles: These typically include wrinkles in the brow region, the forehead, and the crow’s feet. Compared to other Botox procedures, upper face wrinkles require more units of Botox that are administered every 3 to 4 months. As a result, this procedure also costs more. In most cases, upper face wrinkles take 20-30 units of Botox to become unnoticeable. The cost of Botox injections for upper face wrinkles in Chennai can range between Rs. 17,000 to Rs. 20,000.
    • Masseter or Jawline: Botox is often injected into the masseter muscles to reduce their size and make the jawline slimmer and more defined. This procedure can make your face look youthful and slender while emphasizing the cheekbones. A jawline enhancement procedure with Botox can take anywhere from 10 to 30 units of Botox. On average, Botox treatment cost for jawline in Chennai can start from Rs. 17,000 and go as high as Rs. 20,000.
    • Gummy Smile: Botox is one of the most commonly performed treatments for a gummy smile. In this procedure, Botox is injected into the area between the upper lip and nose to temporarily freeze the muscles that contract when you smile. Gummy smiles usually take 2 to 6 units of Botox. The average cost of Botox injections for a gummy smile in Chennai can range from Rs. 5000 to Rs. 6000.
    • Bunny Lines: Botox is a commonly performed treatment for bunny lines. Bunny lines are fine lines that form on either side of the nose when you contract the nasal muscles. In this procedure, the dermatologist injects small amounts of Botox on the sides of the nose bridge and high up on the nose. Generally, dermatologists utilize 4 to 8 units of Botox for reducing bunny lines. The average Botox Cost in Chennai for bunny lines can range anywhere from Rs. 1500 to Rs. 3000.

    Factors That Affect Botox Treatment Cost in Chennai

    Depending on a multitude of factors, the exact cost of your Botox treatment procedure will probably vary. Some common factors that usually affect the Botox Cost in Chennai are given below:

    • Consultation Charges: The number of consultations you require before your Botox treatment will likely add up and affect your overall Botox injection price. The expertise of your preferred dermatologist may also factor in and cause the overall procedure cost to differ. Generally, doctors with more experience charge more for consultations than doctors with less experience.
    • The Brand of Botox: There are various brands of Botox that offer different durations of results, purity of the drug, and how long it takes for the toxin to settle in. Some of the most commonly recommended Botox brands include Dysport, Xeomin, Jeuveau, and Daxxify. Depending on the one you choose or the one that is recommended to you by your dermatologist, the procedure cost will likely vary.
    • Amount of Botox Required: As previously mentioned, different target muscles and cosmetic goals require different amounts and units of Botox. Common Botox procedures and target areas such as crow’s feet and upper face wrinkles usually require more Botox than forehead lines or gummy smiles. Hence, depending on your concern, overall Botox injection price in Chennai will likely vary as well.
    • Pre-procedural Diagnostics: Pre-procedural diagnostics for Botox is a fairly simple procedure that usually concludes with commonly performed tests such as physical examination and skin allergy test. However, it is to be kept in mind that the cost of these diagnostic tests will likely add up and affect the cost of your treatment.
    • Additional Treatments: Botox is commonly performed alongside other cosmetic procedures, such as dermal fillers and vampire facials. If you require or desire to undergo any such additional procedures, the cost of your Botox treatment will likely vary.
    • Post-procedural Consultations: After your Botox, your dermatologist will likely schedule some follow-ups to ensure smooth recovery and that there are no unexpected outcomes. This is also a good opportunity to ask any questions you may have regarding the recovery.
