Botox is priced per unit, not per treatment, so what you pay depends on how many units your treatment areas need rather than on a flat session fee. At Elume Med Spa in Fairfax, Virginia, your Botox quote is given at a free consultation with Shaheen Ghafari, a licensed Nurse Practitioner, once she has looked at the areas you want treated and how your muscles move.
How Botox pricing works
Providers quote Botox one of two ways, and the difference matters when you are comparing prices.
| Pricing model | How it works | What to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Per unit | You pay for the number of units actually injected. A unit is a measure of the product itself, not of time or area. | Ask how many units your plan uses, or a low per unit rate can still add up to a high total. |
| Per area | You pay a set price for a named area, such as the forehead or the frown lines, regardless of how much product it takes. | Ask what counts as one area, since definitions vary between practices. |
Botox is FDA-approved and is supplied in a standardized unit, so a unit at one practice is the same amount of product as a unit at another. What differs between practices is the rate charged per unit and the number of units your treatment plan calls for.
What determines how many units you need
The number of units is the part that varies most from person to person. The main factors are which areas you are treating, how strong the muscles in those areas are, and what result you are after. Muscle strength in particular is why two people can want the same result in the same area and need noticeably different amounts.
We cover the typical ranges area by area, and the reasons they differ, in our guide to how many units of Botox you need. That guide is the right starting point if you want to estimate before your consultation.
Why Elume quotes Botox at a consultation
We publish flat session prices for treatments where the treatment really is the same each time. Botox is not one of those. Because the dose is matched to your muscles and your goals, a single advertised number would either overstate the cost for someone treating one small area or understate it for someone treating several.
So Botox is quoted at a consultation instead, and the consultation is free. You will know the number of units, the rate, and the total before anything is scheduled. For the same reason, Botox is not bookable online at Elume. It is arranged by phone or through a consultation, which is a deliberate choice rather than a limitation of the booking system.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Botox cost at Elume Med Spa?
Botox at Elume Med Spa in Fairfax, VA is priced per unit, so the total depends on how many units your treatment areas need. Your exact quote is given at a free consultation, before anything is scheduled.
Is Botox priced per unit or per area?
Both models exist. Per unit means you pay for the amount of product actually injected. Per area means a set price for a named treatment area regardless of the amount used. Elume quotes per unit, so ask any practice which model they use before comparing two prices.
Why do two people pay different amounts for the same areas?
Because dose is matched to the person. Muscle strength, the areas being treated, and the result you want all change how many units are used. That is also why a single advertised price for Botox tends to be misleading.
Can I book Botox online at Elume Med Spa?
No. Botox appointments are scheduled through a consultation rather than online booking. Call Elume Med Spa in Fairfax, VA at (703) 383-0431 or request an appointment through our schedule page.
Does Elume publish prices for other treatments?
Yes. Session prices for Morpheus8, microneedling, microneedling with PRP, BBL photofacial, laser hair removal, the Perfect Derma Peel and Venus Legacy are all published on their treatment pages and listed above.
Cost is only half the question. If you are weighing a first treatment, will Botox make me look frozen covers the other half, and is a nurse practitioner qualified to inject covers who does it.
