Ask three med spas which neurotoxin is best value and you'll get three different answers, all of them anchored to a per-unit price. That number is the least useful part of the comparison. What decides whether Botox, Dysport or Daxxify is worth your money is how many units your face needs, how long the result holds, and how often you're back in the chair — so here's that math, using our published rates.
What the three cost here
We price neurotoxin in two tiers, and the three products in question sit on opposite sides of the line:
- Dysport and Daxxify — $6/unit, with a 20-unit minimum.
- Botox — $10/unit, same 20-unit minimum. (Xeomin and Letybo share this tier.)
- The House All-You-Need Tox — $399 flat for the three classic upper-face areas, up to 45 units of Letybo, with a complimentary two-week refinement.
At a glance that reads as "Dysport and Daxxify are cheaper." Two things complicate it, and both work in your favour to understand before you book.
A unit is not a unit
Neurotoxin units are brand-specific measurements, not a universal quantity. Dysport is dosed differently from Botox and generally takes more units to treat the same area, so a lower per-unit price doesn't translate into a proportionally lower total. Daxxify is dosed much closer to Botox, which is why it behaves so differently on the invoice despite sharing Dysport's tier.
Run it yourself before you assume. At $10/unit, forty units of Botox is $400. At $6/unit, the same forty units is $240 — but if your dose in Dysport units runs meaningfully higher, you could be looking at $360 or more for the equivalent effect. The tiers converge far more than the sticker prices suggest.
The number that actually matters: cost per month of result
Neurotoxin isn't a purchase, it's a subscription — so the fair comparison is what you pay per month of smoothness, not per visit. Botox, Xeomin and Letybo typically hold for three to four months. Dysport lands in a similar range. Daxxify is the outlier: it's FDA-approved for extended duration, and results can run up to six months for some people.
Divide accordingly. A $400 Botox appointment repeated every three to four months is a very different annual number than a $240 Daxxify appointment that might only need repeating twice a year. That's the case for Daxxify being the value play for the right person — not its per-unit price, which is only half the story.
Where the flat package quietly beats all three
If you're treating the three classic upper-face areas — forehead, the 11s and crow's feet — the per-unit math often stops being the right math. Forty-five units priced at the $10 tier would come to $450, which is why the $399 House All-You-Need Tox exists and why it usually wins for full upper-face treatment. Treating one small area instead? A lip flip, brow lift or nose tip lift is $100 flat and beats both approaches.
So which is worth the money?
- Botox — worth it when precision matters most, when you're new to tox and want the most-studied option, or when your muscle pattern needs tightly controlled placement.
- Dysport — worth it for broader areas like the forehead, where its efficient spread does the work. Judge it on total dose, not per-unit price.
- Daxxify — worth it if longevity is your priority and fewer appointments a year genuinely matters to your schedule and budget.
- The House package — worth it for anyone doing all three upper-face areas at once, which is most people.
The honest caveat: your muscle strength, your history with tox and how quickly you metabolize product all move these numbers, and your injector chooses the product and the dose together. If you've built tolerance to one brand, the cheapest option is whichever one still works for you — often Xeomin.
Is Daxxify worth the money compared to Botox?
It can be, for the right person. Daxxify sits in our $6/unit tier and is dosed closer to Botox than Dysport is, and it's FDA-approved for extended duration — results can run up to six months versus the typical three to four. Fewer appointments a year is where the value shows up. Whether it suits you is a conversation with your injector.
Why is Dysport cheaper per unit than Botox?
Dysport units are a different measurement than Botox units, and it generally takes more of them to treat the same area — so the lower $6/unit price doesn't mean a proportionally lower total. Compare final totals for your dose, not per-unit rates.
How much does Botox cost in Austin?
At The Wellness House, Botox is $10/unit with a 20-unit minimum, so twenty units is $200 and forty units is $400. For the three classic upper-face areas, our $399 House All-You-Need Tox package is usually the better value.
Which neurotoxin lasts the longest?
Daxxify is the longest-lasting option we carry, approved for extended duration with results that can reach around six months for some clients. Botox, Xeomin, Letybo and Dysport typically last three to four months. Individual longevity varies with dose, area and metabolism.
Can I switch between Botox, Dysport and Daxxify?
Yes, and plenty of clients do. Switching is common when someone wants longer duration, when a different spread suits the area better, or when tolerance to one brand seems to be building. Your injector will adjust dosing for the new product rather than transferring your old unit count.
The bottom line
Value in neurotoxin isn't the lowest per-unit number on a menu — it's the fewest wasted units and the fewest unnecessary visits. Bring your budget to your consultation alongside your goals and we'll tell you honestly which of the three gets you the most result for it, even when that answer is the cheaper one.
