Average Costs of Cosmetic Procedures

Average Costs of Procedures

Wondering how much a cosmetic treatment will cost in your area? I get questions like these all of the time from SkinTour readers:

What is the average botox cost?
What is the average cost of Restylane?
How much does Latisse cost?
How much does hair removal laser cost?
How much does laser resurfacing cost?
How much does Fraxel cost?

To help answer these questions, I created this cost sheet as a guide to the average prices for various cosmetic dermatology treatments across the US.
