Botox costs around 200 trillion euros/kg
One kilogram of botulinum toxin is estimated to cost four billion times more than one kilogram of gold bullion.
- The treatment is done with botulinum toxin.
- Botulinum toxin is the deadliest poison in the world: half a kilogram of botulinum would be enough to destroy the entire human race.
- Botulinum toxin is also one of the most expensive substances in the world.
- The amount of Botox needed to kill one person would cost around €200 000.
- In the treatment of health problems, botulinum toxin is used in extremely small quantities, so that it is no longer a poison but a medicine.

PRICE:
How is Botox treatment priced?
The price of Botox is the sum of many factors. Here are some important factors that can affect the price of the treatment:
1. Clinic or doctor: the prices of the clinics and doctors providing treatment may vary. Different clinics and doctors may charge different prices. The price of treatment may vary depending on the experience, training, reputation or location of the clinic.
2. Products used: the treatment uses botulinum toxin, which is a medicinal substance. The products from different manufacturers are priced differently. Some products may be more expensive than others, which may also affect the price of the treatment.
- According to current scientific research, there are no statistically significant differences in quality between various brands of botulinum products, including their duration or intensity of effect.
- Individual differences are possible. So you may find that a botulinum product sold under a particular brand name works better or longer lasting on your face than other brands. However, individual differences are not generalisable.
3. Scope of treatment: The cost of Botox treatment can vary based on the size of the area being treated. Different facial areas may have different pricing, and the more botulinum product required, the higher the treatment cost.
4. Desired outcome: small changes (e.g. lip flip) can be achieved with a quick treatment and a relatively small amount of botulinum, while a dramatic change requires more active ingredient and time resources than usual. The greater the change sought, the more drug and professional time - and professional skills - are required. Therefore, the price of botulinum treatment is also affected by the outcome targets.
5. Offers and discounts: some clinics may have offers or discounts on treatments.
6. Dosage: It's important to remember that botulinum treatment is a medical procedure. The best results come from administering the right amount of botulinum to the correct area, following professional guidelines. Since different brands have varying dosage units, it can be difficult for consumers to compare doses directly.
- For example, one unit of Botox/Vistabel is equivalent to 2.5 units of Dysport/Azzalure.
On the other hand, the response to treatment is also different for each person. One friend may need 50 units of Azzalure to correct their onion syrup, while another friend may get the same result with 12 units of Vistabel. Finding the right amount of botulinum can take time at first and often involves a few check-ups.
