Where to Get Botox in Miami

You’re at a birthday dinner in Sunset Harbour, and nobody at the table has a forehead. Not missing, exactly; just still. Somebody mentions a woman. She’s the one everybody uses; she’s like nine dollars a unit. Somebody else already has the number. The number goes around the table like a recipe.

While Botox is among the best-characterized compounds in aesthetics, the part that isn’t fine is the woman who comes to your place for nine dollars a unit. The FDA sent 18 warning letters to websites selling unapproved botulinum toxin in November 2025, and the CDC started counting the number of people who ended up in hospital after injections in homes and random spas.

So the useful question isn’t where to get Botox in Miami. It’s who is actually holding the syringe, what’s in it, and how fast you can book a follow-up appointment if it isn’t right the first time.

Here’s where we’d book, what each room is like, what to ask before you sit down, and how to tell an ordinary special from the kind that comes with a federal warning letter.

Dermatologist, Med Spa, or Plastic Surgeon?

A dermatology practice treats skin as a medical specialty, so injectables sit alongside skin cancer screenings and prescription care. The advantage is context: someone looking at your face already knows its history. Worth choosing if you have skin conditions in play, or you’d rather one practice handled everything.

A plastic surgeon’s office brings surgical anatomy to a non-surgical treatment, and in the better ones, the surgeon injects personally rather than delegating. That fluency matters most on the harder areas: brow position, asymmetry, anything near the eye. It also means a straight answer if you ever want to know what a surgical option would and wouldn’t do for you.

A med spa or injectable studio does aesthetics and nothing else, usually with a nurse practitioner or physician assistant injecting under a physician medical director. Volume is the argument here: someone doing this all day, every day, develops an eye that occasional practice doesn’t. The key is who the medical director is and how present they actually are.

None of the three is categorically better. An experienced injecting NP under real oversight will routinely outperform a surgeon’s office where the work rotates among staff, and the reverse is equally true. Ask who specifically will be treating you, and how often they do it.

Where to Book

Miami Beach

Avabello Aesthetics

The most concentrated expertise in this guide, and the narrowest focus. Avabello is built around Dr. Ben Eskenazi, a Cleveland Clinic–trained, double board-certified plastic surgeon and Fellow of the American College of Surgeons who has performed more than 10,000 facial plastic surgeries and works as an educator and key opinion leader for aesthetic companies. The practice is face-first in a city where most injectable menus are stapled to a body-contouring business, and Dr. Eskenazi is the only provider named anywhere on the site. In a category where “our team of experts” is the house style, that tells you exactly who you’re seeing.

That surgical background is why you come here for a face that hasn’t responded well to injections before. Someone who has spent a career repositioning brows operatively reads a heavy brow differently than someone who has only ever treated one. Read our full profile of Dr. Eskenazi’s approach.

The vibe: A single-physician practice in a Washington Avenue office building rather than a storefront, where the only provider named is the surgeon himself. Weekdays only; closed Saturdays and Sundays, which trips people up.

Best for: Faces that need a surgeon’s read (asymmetry, brow position, anything near the eye), and anyone who wants the same person injecting them every visit.

Who injects: Dr. Ben Eskenazi, MD, FACS.

Toxins offered: Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau, Daxxify, and Letybo.

Pricing: Quoted at consultation. The practice notes that packages generally cost less than treatments booked one at a time.

Avabello Aesthetics is located at 555 Washington Ave., Suite 360, Miami Beach, FL 33139 (South Beach). For more information, visit their official website.

BODYWELLE

The clearest answer in the city to the question of who is actually injecting you. BODYWELLE states that treatments are always injected by Dr. Alonso Martin and never delegated to assistants—a promise almost nobody else in Miami puts in writing, and the single most useful sentence on any of these websites. Dr. Martin founded the practice and serves as its medical director, coming to aesthetics from a background in neuroscience and longevity, and the practice’s wider menu runs to body sculpting, PDO threads, peels, and microneedling with PRP.

It’s also the rare Miami practice that posts prices by area instead of quoting at consultation. You can see what one, two, or three areas run before you pick up the phone, along with smaller add-ons like a lip flip or a masseter treatment. In a category where almost everything is quoted behind a consultation, that alone narrows the guesswork.

The vibe: A physician-led clinic on Alton Road where the founder is the person in the room. The practice’s own stated commitment is that treatments are never delegated to assistants.

Best for: A first-timer who wants a physician’s hands, a posted price, and someone willing to start conservatively and check the result at two weeks.

Who injects: Dr. Alonso Martin, a licensed physician in Florida.

Toxins offered: Botox, Dysport, and Daxxify.

Pricing: Posted by area on the site, the most transparent in this guide. Confirm the current number for your specific treatment when you book, as the site lists prices in more than one place and the pages don’t fully agree.

BODYWELLE is located at 1060 Alton Rd., Miami Beach, FL 33139 (South Beach). For more information, visit their official website.

Ject

The injectable studio as a format, imported intact. Gabby Garritano founded Ject in New York’s West Village in 2019 and has since grown it into a national brand with locations across New York, Los Angeles, and Florida; the Sunset Harbour studio is its permanent Miami outpost. The proposition is aesthetics only, with no surgical practice bolted on and no hormone panels, delivered in a room designed to feel more like a boutique than a clinic.

The interesting part is the training. Ject runs its own program, JECT Academy, that every provider completes, which is an unusual amount of process for a studio brand and the closest thing here to a house technique. Its menu leans current: ToxBooster, SkinVive, facial balancing, Sofwave, Aquagold microdosing, microneedling with radiofrequency.

The vibe: Ject describes the studio as “a modern, welcoming space,” and the format is deliberately closer to a boutique than a clinic. It sits on Sunset Harbour’s low-rise stretch among the fitness studios and coffee shops.

Best for: Maintenance on a schedule. If you’re already a regular and want a consistent, trained hand in a room that doesn’t feel like a doctor’s office, this format is built for it.

Who injects: Nadia Alvear, FNP-C, and Morgan D’Antuono, PA-C.

Pricing: Package-first, built around a course of sessions rather than a single visit. First-time promotions are usually running.

Ject is located at 1916 Bay Rd., Miami Beach, FL 33139 (Sunset Harbour). For more information, visit their official website.

Midtown

the biostation

The one on this list that charges based on how the treatment is actually measured. The biostation bills by the unit for both Botox and Xeomin, so you pay for the units you receive rather than a flat fee for “an area”—the fairest structure here if your treatment is small, and the only one that makes a real comparison possible. The rate itself isn’t published, so you’ll have to ask.

Context matters here: the biostation is an anti-aging and functional medicine practice first, founded by Martin G. Bloom, MD, a cardiologist with a functional medicine focus and four decades of practice, and built around hormone therapy, nutrient IVs, lab testing, and weight management. Aesthetics is an addition, not the premise. The addition is serious, though—Dr. Julio Gallo, a board-certified facial plastic surgeon with more than 25 years of experience, practices medical aesthetics at the Midtown location.

The vibe: A clinical suite in the Midtown 5 building, and a functional-medicine practice first: hormone therapy, nutrient IVs, and lab testing share the floor with aesthetics. Weekdays only.

Best for: Anyone already doing bloodwork, hormones, or longevity care who wants injectables folded into one chart, and anyone with a small treatment who’d rather pay only for the units they get.

Who injects: The biostation’s own pages describe “aesthetics experts” without naming the Midtown injector, so ask who you’ll be seeing. Dr. Julio Gallo, a board-certified facial plastic surgeon, practices medical aesthetics at this location.

Toxins offered: Botox and Xeomin.

Pricing: Charged per unit.

the biostation is located at Midtown 5, 115 NE 32nd St., Suite 102, Miami, FL 33137 (Midtown). For more information, visit their official website.

ARVIV Medical Aesthetics

A laser practice that grew into an injectables practice, which shows in the range. Dr. Tali Arviv has more than a decade of laser-technology experience, and the Midtown office runs a device menu: CO2 resurfacing, Erbium/YAG, IPL and RF, Ultherapy, tattoo and vein removal, deeper than anywhere else in this guide. The practice describes itself as combining “the luxury elements of a spa with the safety and superior clinical capabilities of the medical profession,” and it’s one of the more established operations in the city, with sister offices in Tampa and Ocala.

For Botox specifically, the useful thing is the adjacency. If your frown lines are the reason you booked but sun damage or texture is the thing actually bothering you, this is a room where both conversations happen with the same person, and where the answer might reasonably be a laser rather than a syringe.

The vibe: A suite in a Midtown office building, weekdays only; closed Saturdays and Sundays, with an early Friday close. More clinic than lounge, with the equipment footprint of a laser practice.

Best for: Anyone whose real concern is skin quality as much as movement (pigmentation, texture, laxity), and who’d rather be assessed by someone with a decade behind the devices before defaulting to tox.

Who injects: Dr. Tali Arviv. The practice describes her as specializing in aesthetics with more than a decade of laser-technology experience, and as an expert injector in neuromodulators, fillers, Sculptra, and Kybella.

Toxins offered: Botox, Dysport, Daxxify, and Xeomin.

Pricing: Not published. Quoted at consultation.

ARVIV Medical Aesthetics is located at 3250 NE 1st Ave., Suite 504, Miami, FL 33137 (Midtown). For more information, visit their official website.

Coconut Grove

Lavish Laser Med Spa

The Grove entry, and the one that leans hardest into being a retreat rather than a clinic. Lavish Laser is woman-owned, sits in the middle of the village, and describes itself as “your private retreat for rejuvenation,” a tranquil environment dedicated to natural results. The injectable work is paired with device treatments, including RF microneedling and Sofwave skin tightening, so the pitch is tightening and smoothing together rather than tox in isolation.

The detail worth knowing is who does the injecting. Dr. Marc Epstein provides the practice’s medical oversight and is also its primary injector, which collapses the usual gap between the physician whose name is on the license and the person actually holding the syringe. He has practiced in both New York and South Florida.

The vibe: A village storefront in Coconut Grove that the practice describes as “a tranquil environment,” positioned as a private retreat rather than a treatment floor. Open Saturdays, which most of this list is not.

Best for: Coconut Grove locals who want injectables and skin-tightening handled in one place, and anyone who wants the medical director and the injector to be the same person.

Who injects: Dr. Marc Epstein, who serves as both medical director and primary injector.

Toxins offered: Botox and Dysport. Fillers include Juvéderm and Sculptra.

Pricing: Not published. Quoted at consultation.

Lavish Laser Med Spa is located at 3160 Florida Ave., Miami, FL 33133 (Coconut Grove). For more information, visit their official website.

Downtown

NuYou Medical Aesthetics

The widest neurotoxin menu in this guide, and it isn’t close. NuYou carries Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Jeuveau, Daxxify, and Letybo—six brands, where most Miami practices stock two or three. That matters more than it sounds: the toxins differ in onset and duration, their units aren’t interchangeable, and if you’ve ever felt a product wear off faster than it used to, this is the practice that can move you across six of them, and the one to book if you want the same injector every single time.

The vibe: By appointment only, in an office suite in the Marina Blue building on Biscayne Boulevard rather than a street-level spa—you’re going up an elevator, not walking in. Among the widest hours here, including evenings and weekends.

Best for: Brand-switching. If one toxin has stopped delivering the duration it used to, this is the practice that can move you across six of them.

Who injects: Nicole Habib, MMS, PA-C, who founded the practice.

Toxins offered: Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Jeuveau, Daxxify, and Letybo, the deepest menu of anyone in this guide.

Pricing: Not published on the site. A monthly payment option, interest-free payment plans, and a loyalty rewards program are offered; ask what applies to a first treatment.

NuYou Medical Aesthetics is located at 888 Biscayne Blvd., Suite 505, Office 532, Miami, FL 33132 (Downtown). For more information, visit their official website.

How Much Does Botox Cost in Miami

The honest answer is a range, and it’s worth understanding why before you start calling around.

Miami clinics quote in at least four incompatible ways. Some price per unit, which is how the drug is actually measured and the only structure that lets you compare two clinics directly. Some price per area, a flat fee for the forehead or the elevens, which bundles an unstated number of units into one number. Some sell packages of several sessions. And some tier by provider, charging more for the founder’s hands than for an associate’s. Those four don’t convert into each other without arithmetic nobody does for you.

Start from the label, because it’s the one fixed point. Botox Cosmetic’s FDA-approved dosing is 20 units for frown lines, 24 units for crow’s feet, and 20 units for forehead lines—64 units if you treat all three at once. Injectors adjust from there based on muscle strength and what you’re after, but those numbers tell you the ballpark a normal treatment sits in, and they turn any per-unit quote into an actual bill.

With that in hand: a single treatment area at an established Miami practice generally runs in the mid-hundreds, and two or three areas together typically land somewhere between roughly $400 and $1,000+, depending on the practice and the scope. Smaller, targeted treatments (a lip flip, the chin, under the eyes) usually sit well below that, around $150 to $300. Multi-session packages bring the per-visit number down, sometimes substantially, but only if you use every session.

Per unit, if you can get a clinic to quote that way, you’ll generally hear something in the range of $10 to $15, with some practices charging considerably more. Treat that as a reference point, not a benchmark. No medical society or independent survey publishes a verified per-unit figure, and nearly every number in circulation traces back to clinics quoting their own rates. It’s useful for spotting a quote that’s wildly off, and not much more. A number far below the range is worth asking about directly, because the likeliest explanations are heavy dilution or fewer units than you think you’re getting.

National averages exist and won’t help much either. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons lists an average of $435, but that’s per treatment rather than per unit, and the page doesn’t list a year. The Aesthetic Society puts it at $326, from 2022, measuring surgeon fees. Different populations, different metrics, and not a pair you can average into anything meaningful, or apply to this city.

One variable worth pricing in: manufacturer loyalty programs. Allergan’s Allē and Galderma’s ASPIRE pay you back on treatments you were getting anyway, and they work at most practices carrying those brands. Ask whether the clinic participates before your first appointment, not after.

What “Natural” Actually Looks Like

Frozen is not a product problem. It’s a dose and placement problem, and it’s almost always the forehead.

The muscle across your forehead raises your brows. Treat it heavily, and you get a smooth forehead and a face that can’t lift, which is the look everyone means by frozen. Treat it lightly, in balance with the muscles that pull the brow down, and you keep the movement. A good result still lets you raise your eyebrows. If you can’t, that isn’t Botox working—that’s too much of it in one place.

The most useful thing you can do at a first appointment is ask to start low. You can always add units at a two-week follow-up. They cannot be removed, and you wait out the difference for months. An injector who treats a conservative first pass as a reasonable request is telling you something good about how they work. One who pushes a maximum dose on a first visit is telling you something else.

The other tell is asymmetry, and a little of it is normal and fixable. Faces aren’t symmetrical to begin with, and the two-week check exists precisely so small imbalances can be evened out. Ask at booking whether that follow-up is included or billed. The answer varies more than you’d expect.

How to Read a Botox Deal

Not every special is a trap. Manufacturer promotions, new-patient pricing at an established practice, and loyalty-program rewards are all ordinary. The problem lives at the small end of the market, and the federal record on it is specific.

In April 2024, the FDA warned that counterfeit Botox had been found in multiple states and administered to consumers for cosmetic purposes. The CDC investigated alongside it and closed the case that December with 17 people affected across nine states, 13 of them hospitalized. Its finding on how it happened is the part worth carrying into a consultation: many of the products were counterfeit or were administered in non-healthcare settings, such as homes and spas, or by an unlicensed or untrained individual.

It didn’t end there. In November 2025, the FDA issued 18 warning letters to websites illegally marketing unapproved and misbranded botulinum toxin—a supply chain that exists specifically to sell to whoever is buying on price.

The CDC’s own advice to consumers is one sentence, and it’s the whole screening test: ask your provider if they are licensed and trained to give the injection, and if in doubt, don’t get the injection.

Which turns into a short list of questions worth asking before you sit down:

Who is injecting me, and what is their license? A name and a credential, not “our team.” Florida licenses are publicly searchable.

Which product are you using, and can I see the vial? Brand, and an unopened vial opened in front of you. Counterfeit product is a supply problem, not a technique problem, and this is where it shows.

How many units am I getting, and is the quote by unit, area, package, or provider? The answer converts any price into something comparable. A clinic that won’t give you a number before treatment won’t give you one after.

Where is this happening? A licensed clinical setting. Not a home, a hotel room, a salon chair, or a party.

Who do I call if something’s wrong, and how fast can I be seen? Ideally a physician, ideally the same week.

A practice that answers all five easily is the norm, not the exception. If a practice gets cagey about any of them, it has told you what you need to know.

When It Goes Wrong

Most complications are temporary, and knowing that in advance is what keeps a bad week from becoming a panic.

A dropped eyelid or heavy brow is what people fear, and it comes from product spreading slightly beyond where it was placed. It resolves as the effect wears off, and prescription drops can help in the meantime. Asymmetry is more common and usually corrects with a small touch-up at two weeks. Bruising at injection sites is ordinary and fades. Headache in the first few days is common and passes.

Botox Cosmetic does carry a boxed warning about distant spread of toxin effect: symptoms including muscle weakness, double vision, and difficulty swallowing or breathing, which the label notes can be life-threatening. Those events are associated with much higher therapeutic doses than cosmetic treatment uses, but the warning is on the label, and any injector should be willing to discuss it.

None of this is a reason not to get Botox. It’s a reason to get it from someone with a plan. Ask whether the practice includes a two-week follow-up, what its touch-up policy is, and who you reach if something changes at week three. The answers separate practices more cleanly than price does.

Botox Questions, Answered

How much does Botox cost in Miami? Two or three areas generally run somewhere between roughly $400 and $1,000+ at an established practice, with smaller targeted treatments closer to $150 to $300 and multi-session packages lowering the per-visit cost. The wide range is real: clinics here quote per unit, per area, per package, or by provider, and those don’t convert into each other without asking how many units are involved. There’s no reliable published Miami market rate to check a quote against.

How many units will I need? The FDA-approved dosing is 20 units for frown lines, 24 for crow’s feet, and 20 for forehead lines—64 for all three together. Your injector will adjust from there based on muscle strength and the result you want, which is why a real number comes only after an in-person assessment.

Per unit or per area—which is better? Per unit is fairer on small treatments and lets you compare clinics directly. Per area is simpler and can be better value on a large treatment, but only if you know how many units the area includes. Ask.

Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Daxxify—does the brand matter? They’re different formulations of botulinum toxin with different onset and duration profiles, and their units aren’t interchangeable, so a per-unit price for one isn’t comparable to a per-unit price for another. NuYou carries the widest range in this guide.

Will I look frozen? Only if you’re over-treated, usually in the forehead. Ask to start conservatively and add at two weeks.

Dermatologist or med spa? Both are legitimate. The individual injector matters more than the category. The setting changes how quickly a physician can see you if something needs attention.

Are cheap Botox specials safe? Manufacturer promotions and new-patient pricing at an established practice are ordinary. What isn’t: injections in a home, hotel, or salon, an injector who won’t state a license, or a clinic that won’t show you the vial. The FDA and CDC have documented all three.

The Bottom Line

What decides your result isn’t the kind of business you walk into. It’s whether the person holding the syringe does this constantly, whether they’ll start conservatively when you ask, and whether you can get back in front of them at week two. Brand, setting, and price structure all sit downstream of that.

Which is why the questions are worth more than the shopping. Ask who is injecting and what their license is. Ask which product, and to see the vial. Ask how many units, and how the quote is structured. Ask who you call if something’s off. A practice that answers all four without friction has told you most of what you need to know.
