Episode Transcript
Here’s today’s update for October 13, 2024. There’s a fascinating new analysis from Certainly Health and FILD Studio owner Dr. Randa Jaafar about the differences in Botox costs across New York’s boroughs.
Manhattan tops the list with an average Botox treatment costing about $662.20, which adds up to nearly $53,000 over a lifetime. Meanwhile, Brooklyn residents pay a bit less at $562.86 per session, translating to around $45,000 lifetime. The Bronx and Queens offer friendlier prices, about $485 and $480.63 respectively, amounting to just under $39,000 over a lifetime.
The thriftiest option? Staten Island, where treatments average $453.33, leading to a lifetime cost of approximately $36,266.67. Quite a significant saving if you’re on a budget.
However, Dr. Jaafar reminds us that while cost is a factor, the quality of the clinic and rapport with practitioners are paramount. Safety and expertise should never be compromised for a lower price. Botox, or Botulinum Toxin, generally is safe, but it can cause side effects like bruising, pain, and even temporary facial drooping.
That’s the latest in aesthetic news; until next time, take care and choose your treatments wisely!
