Cost of Botox - lets compare notes:)

Posted by kk11 (695 days ago)

Hey girls,

It seems that the charging for Botox in HK is really untransparent. You never know how much you are to be charged until you are under the light. How about we all start compiling how much we are getting charged by whom and the results?

I am planning my first treatment soon and would love to go into it well researched.

Thanks! Girl power!

Okay, I don't really know much about the pricing. I think that I'm in the same situation that you are in. I called Union Hospital and they recommended a Dr. Peter Pang. He charges $1,000 for the first consultation and $10,000 for a botox treatment if he decides that is what is right for you. Since this is like 3x what it costs in the US, I will keep looking.

Hi there, I can really give you the name of the clinic/salon FMH (face magic haven) in Wyndham str, at Dragon i! I've done my botox there and it's been great! Best prices in Hong Kong!

Hi!

I have also completed mine 1 month before. The injection was done by a doctor in Central.

I tried the Botox(US) for jaw-slimming($3,000). Actually, this is my second time. I tried my first time in June last year. I had the Dysport(UK) injection for jaw-slimming($2,800).

About 3 grand per area....... but the up side is that if you are not 100% happy they will shoot it again for you.... does not matter if it is a stubborn area, they make it better. There are cheaper and i know a lot of people that go to Dr Bramley, she is more inclined to do less "botoxed" looking work and is, as a result, cheaper. Good luck and happy toxing!

have anybody tried botox on the area around the eyes? does it work??
And as once you start you have to keep doing it, how old do you think you should be for the first time?

:) I know, a lot of questions, but I also want to be well informed!

Hi,

I have had the area around my eyes, forehead and in between my brows done...it looks great! it depends on the look you are after e.g. the 'Jack Nicholson' look that the Nicole Kidman has and / or the very smooth, shiny look that Marcia Cross and Nic Kidman both have OR something more subtle.
Personally I go for the very smoothe and love it!

*Be careful with the eye area if the doctor is not experienced you can end up with a little bit of facial palsy.
I pay HKD$1800 per area and it lasts for about 4 months.

Is botox for wrinkles only and not for eye bags?

Posted by kk11 (603 days ago)

I just got botox at Dr Kong Kwok Leung's office upstairs from Shanghai Tang 2526 6191 about 3000 (I also got some other cremes so not such actual botox price) and he is EXCELLENT. Very professional, proper doctor and nurses. He trained in UK and has excellent english. Total 'medical' experience. Plus is he very gentle and artistic for the natural look. He does all the local celebs but is quite proper and not too fancy and trendy. U dont want that from your doctor right?! Did my before and after pictures and the results are subtle yet very much improved. I was so scared before! I cannot recommend him enough.

FYI, I highly recommend doing botox together with fraxel laser treatment. However doing both treatments in HK can be very expensive. I used to go to Dr. Henry Chan in Central but he was charging $5k for the botox and $8k for the fraxel. He is using the new fraxel 2 machines which causes less redness than the fraxel 1 machines. Instead, I go to Bello skin care in Manila. The botox is $2k and the fraxel is $2k. They are also using the fraxel 2 machines. The dermatologist in Thailand in the old Central Department store is also very good for botox and the dermatologist in Korea Samsung Dong across from koex city terminal is also good for botox. The botox will stop the wrinkling of the skin but the fraxel will smooth out the skin. I know fraxel works for sure because the first time I only did fraxel around my eyes and afterwards only the skin around my eyes was smooth. Afterwards I switched to doing fraxel on my whole face so the skin tone is even.

Botox really works for smoothening the wrinkles, no matter around eyes, forehead, crow's feet, etc. I got Botox at Dr. Law Wai Kwong in Central (2815 6277)last month. He is very professional and very nice. Now, my crow's feet is disappeared. I just pay $2k to remove my crow's feet, and Dr. Lam provides half year free touch-up service for any Botox treatment! He also provides free consultation for any kinds of treatment and skin problem!!! I highly recommend this Dr. for the girls who wants to have Botox, as he is very experienced and well trained in UK.

Hi bibi_shabana, $10000 for botox really very high!!! Where is it??? However, $1000 for botox treatment may not be used the real botox! So u better find a good reputation clinic or doctor for your mum. And I got botox treatment at Dr. Lam Wai Kwong's clinic, he is experienced in botox treatment with reasonable charges. You can call for a free consultation.

My two cents worth: I have had both Botox and Dysport. Have been to Dr. Bramley and Face Magic Haven. I would recommend both, however, FMH does do a touch-up about two weeks after your initial shots--sometimes one side of your face is more "dynamic" than the other and may need a bit more. It is a nice service and one I have not found offered anywhere else.

That said, I don't do Botox anymore. Why? It only lasts about 2 months on me. I have had it done in different countries, different doctors, same result--only lasts a short time. I asked one provider about this and she conceded that some people, like me, do metabolize the botulinum toxin faster than others.

Also, recently saw a clinical trial comparing results of Botox and Dysport--they are similar but not the exact same. The upshot of the trial, Botox lasted longer. Something to consider when making a decision as to which one to get.

I have had my Botox/Dysport twice(face-slimming) & Restylane laughter- lines(filling) once.
The services was done by a registered doctor in Central (Herbage Medicial Centre: Central/Tel: 2328 8866).

The doctor is very professional and very tender. Best of all, the doctor will let you check the medicine and ensure that it is either from US or UK. And he will unseal the medicine in front of you and this act caused me to have more confidence.

For face-slimming:
Botox: $3,000
Dysport: $2,800

Both of the Botox/Dysport result is amazing. I love it!

I have heard Dr. Lam Wai Kwong is an expect in Botox and Dysport cosmetic treatment. Many people said he is skillful in botox injection. And I would go to his clinic for dysport injection next week. Let me leave the comment after the injection.

Dr. Bramley is a focusing on general practice for families.......not specialised in cosmetic treatment purposes. Gals, I think we should go to professional clinic for cosmetic and asethetic purposes!!!

I had the botox treatment eventually at Dr. Lam's clinic. It was great! The clinic is comfortable and the nurse are very nice. My wrinkles was disappeared and the amazing thing is that I can enjoy free touch up services for the dysport injection. Really have to say thanks to Dr. Lam and the nurses.

Posted by Pinky_pinky (321 days ago)

99, I had treated on my smile lines, and it costed $3,000. I think it's quite cheap as it includes free touch up services.

I have tried my 2 times of Dysport Injection at last X'mas.

The doctor is well experienced; and, willing to listen and explain what you questioned before having the injection service.

I spent HKD2,800 for having Dysport(UK) Jaw-Muscle-slimming; while Botox(US) is HKD3,000. And, HKD2,500 for Nasolabial lines(Dysport).

The most important thing of all is that, the doctor will let you check the medicine is imported and he will unseal in front of you. Amazing result!!

Pinky, you seems have good experience with your dysport injection. I just wonder the price of dysport slim face, do you know about that? Thanks

(I am based in Hong Kong)

Posted by Pinky_pinky (309 days ago)

grace_wong, I don't know about the price of dysport slim face. However, what I can tell you is that my dysport injection really works! All my smile lines are gone. And it was not painful during the injection. May be Dr Lam has good skills in dysport injection!! Nice atmosphere but professional, and the price is not expensive!!! Highly recommend Dr Lam to you.

Hi Sally, I am a doctor in Shanghai practising cosmetic medicine and I also know the HK scene reasonably well. I understand it is quite well-regulated there and I think you would find it hard to get Botox without being a registered medical practitioner as well as having done the Botox training course in HK or elsewhere. There is also Chinese-produced Botox, it is essentially the same product but many Clinics in China offer it at about half the price, this might be an option you could look into if you find it too expensive in HK?

A bottle of original botox from allergan costs $1500hkd to $2000 which contains 100units. Dysport much less. e.g. For face slimming it takes 50 units and if the doctor doesnt share the bottle with someone he should throw it away since the bottle will not be as effective after a few days. In US most charge by no. of unit injected.

As you can see anyone charging less than $2000 will be sharing the bottle between patients, not the original from allergan, or/and injecting less than needed no. of units. Sharing the bottle is ok as long as you are informed beforehand. The usual cost should be $3000 to $5000 depending on units required. For calf reduction, it takes 2 bottles at least.
