Areas we treat, and typical units
| Area | Typical Botox units | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Frown lines (the 11s) | 18 to 25 | Softens the vertical lines between the brows |
| Forehead lines | 8 to 15 | Softens horizontal lines, treated with the 11s |
| Crow's feet | 18 to 24, both sides | Softens lines fanning from the outer eye |
| Masseter, per side | 20 to 30 | Reduces clenching force and slims a heavy jaw |
| Lip flip | 4 to 6 | Rolls the upper lip outward slightly |
| Bunny lines | 4 to 8 | Softens creases across the bridge of the nose |
Ranges, not quotes. Dysport is counted in different units, roughly 2.5 to 3 Dysport units for each Botox unit, so compare totals rather than unit counts across products. A first treatment is deliberately conservative and the two-week review is included.
How Botox is priced
By the unit, because a unit is a fixed dose of product and an “area” is not. Two people treating the same frown line can need meaningfully different amounts, and a flat per-area price hides that.
We assess how your face moves, agree a unit count with you, and quote the total before anything is drawn up. The consultation is free whether or not you go ahead, and financing is available through Cherry and CareCredit.
- Quoted in writing before anything starts. You hear the full figure at your consultation, not after treatment and not on the day.
- The consultation is free, with no obligation to book and no charge if you decide against it.
- We do not bill insurance. No prior authorization, no coverage denial part-way through, and no treatment decision made by a plan rather than by your clinician.
- Cherry and CareCredit financing are available, and membership pricing is lower than standard rates.
What your first visit looks like
Intake and photos
Medical history, medications, any previous treatment, and photos at rest and in movement so the review compares like with like.
Mapping
You frown, lift and squint while we watch which muscles do the work. The injection points follow your anatomy, not a template.
The number, agreed first
Units per area and the total, said out loud and agreed before anything is injected.
Injection and aftercare
A few minutes of small injections with a fine needle. For the next four hours, stay upright, skip the gym and do not rub the treated areas.
The two-week review
Booked before you leave. We look at the result together and add a few units where an area is still moving more than you want.
How we keep results natural
- Movement-preserving doses. The aim is softer lines with your expression intact, so a first forehead treatment starts at the lower end of the range.
- Frown lines with the forehead. Treating the forehead alone lets the frown muscles pull the brows down, which is where the heavy, flat look comes from.
- The two-week recheck. Adding a few units at two weeks is easy; taking units back is not possible, so we start conservatively.
Botox, Dysport, Xeomin or Daxxify?
All four relax the same muscles by the same mechanism. Dysport often takes effect a day or two sooner and spreads a little more, which suits larger areas; Xeomin has no accessory proteins; Daxxify can last longer for some people. The comparison, including why per-unit prices are not comparable between products, is on our neurotoxins page.

Answers before you book
How much does Botox cost in Mission Viejo?
Botox is priced by the unit, and the unit count and total are agreed with you before anything is injected. The number of units depends on the areas and on how strong the muscles are, which is why we quote after watching your face move rather than quoting by area. The consultation is free, and Cherry, CareCredit and Allē are accepted.
Do you carry Botox?
Yes, on request: Botox is ordered in for your appointment rather than kept in stock, so mention it when you book. Dysport, Xeomin and Daxxify are in stock, and Dysport is often the simplest choice for a first treatment.
Where is the clinic, and when are you open?
OC Weight Loss and Med Spa is at 24002 Via Fabricante, Suite 201, Mission Viejo, CA 92691. We are open Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM, and closed on Saturday and Sunday. Call (949) 416-0950 or book online.
Who performs the injections?
Lindsay Short, a board-certified Nurse Practitioner with many years of injectables experience, performs every treatment.
How soon will I see results?
Most people notice softening at three to five days, and the full result shows at about two weeks. That is when we review it with you, so plan events for at least two weeks after treatment.
How long does Botox last?
Three to four months for most people in the upper face. It fades gradually, and movement returns before the lines do, so re-treating at the first sign of movement keeps the result smoother.
Will I look frozen?
Not with a conservative first dose. We dose to soften lines while keeping expression, treat the frown lines together with the forehead so the brows do not feel heavy, and add a few units at the two-week review if an area needs it.
