What affects the price?
- The practitioner: treatment by a doctor, dentist or nurse prescriber usually costs more than at a beauty salon, but you get a qualified prescriber who can manage complications.
- The product and amount: different brands, and how many areas or millilitres are treated.
- Location: London clinics tend to charge more.
- Top-ups and reviews: check whether a follow-up appointment is included.
Will the NHS or health insurance pay?
No. The NHS doesn't provide cosmetic injectables, and private medical insurance doesn't cover cosmetic treatments.
Choosing a practitioner safely
- Botulinum toxin is a prescription-only medicine, so you should have a face-to-face consultation with a qualified prescriber first.
- The NHS suggests checking that your practitioner is on an accredited register such as the JCCP or Save Face.
- In England it's illegal to give Botox or fillers for cosmetic reasons to anyone under 18 (Botulinum Toxin and Cosmetic Fillers (Children) Act 2021).
- Don't pay before your consultation, and be wary of time-limited deals or pressure to book immediately.
