Botox in Orange County is usually priced per unit, so your total cost depends on how many units your provider recommends for the areas you want to soften. At Aurela Aesthetics, Botox is $16 per unit with customized dosing, and every appointment comes to your home, office, or hotel anywhere in Orange County with no travel fee.
Two details make concierge pricing go further: touch-ups are complimentary as part of Aurela’s concierge pricing, and Aurela also offers Xeomin, a neurotoxin similar to Botox, at $12 per unit.
Below, we walk through how per-unit pricing works, the typical unit ranges for common treatment areas, and how memberships and mobile service change the value equation for busy schedules.
Why is Botox priced per unit?
Botox is a measured medication, and each injection point receives a specific number of units. Pricing by the unit means you pay for exactly what is used on your face, rather than a flat “area” fee that may or may not match your needs. It also makes it easier to compare quotes, as long as you are comparing the same product and a qualified injector.
Some clinics price by area instead. That can feel simpler, but it can also hide the actual dose. Per-unit pricing keeps the conversation transparent: your nurse practitioner recommends a number of units, explains why, and you know the total before a single injection.
How many units of Botox do you need?
Dosing is always individualized. Muscle strength, the depth of your lines, your facial anatomy, and the look you want (soft and natural versus a stronger smoothing effect) all shape the plan. With that in mind, here are typical ranges providers commonly use as a starting point:
- Frown lines (the “11s” between the brows): often around 15 to 25 units
- Forehead lines: often around 6 to 20 units
- Crow’s feet: often around 6 to 15 units per side
- Lip flip: often around 4 to 8 units
- Bunny lines on the nose: often around 4 to 10 units
These are general ranges, not a prescription. Your plan is set during a pre-treatment consultation and good-faith exam with Courtney Rotz, FNP-BC, AGACNP-BC, a double board-certified nurse practitioner. First-time clients sometimes start conservatively and adjust at the next visit once they see how their muscles respond.
What does Botox cost at $16 per unit?
Here is what the math looks like at Aurela’s $16 per unit rate, using a few sample doses:
- 10 units (for example, a light forehead refresh): $160
- 20 units (for example, frown lines): $320
- 40 units (for example, frown lines plus crow’s feet): $640
- 50 units (for example, the upper face): $800
Your actual total depends on the units recommended for you. Because there is no travel fee within Orange County, the price you are quoted for Botox is the price of your treatment. Clients in Los Angeles County or San Diego County pay a $100 travel surcharge.
What should you look for besides price?
A low per-unit price is only good value if the product, the injector, and the plan are right. A few things are worth asking about anywhere you book:
- Who is injecting? Look for a licensed, experienced medical provider. Courtney brings 23 years of nursing experience, including Pediatric ICU work at Johns Hopkins and years as a cardiology nurse practitioner, before focusing on aesthetics.
- Is there a real consultation? A good-faith exam reviews your health history, medications, and goals, and confirms you are a candidate.
- Are the products medical grade? Authentic product, properly stored and handled, matters for safety and results.
- Is follow-up part of the plan? Results typically settle over about two weeks, and a check-in helps fine-tune future visits.
Botox Cosmetic is FDA-approved for temporarily improving the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet in adults. Results vary from person to person and typically last a few months, so most clients plan on repeat visits.
Are there memberships or packages that lower the cost?
If Botox is part of your regular routine, a membership can make planning easier. Aurela offers three monthly memberships: The Radiance at $99 per month, The Luminous at $199 per month, and The Aurela Elite at $349 per month. There are also curated packages, The Refresh at $449, The Glow Edit at $999, and The Full Aurela at $1,399, for clients who want to pair treatments. You can see what each includes in the packages and memberships section.

Is mobile Botox worth it compared to a clinic visit?
For many Orange County moms and professionals, the real cost of Botox is not just the units. It is the drive, the parking, the waiting room, and the childcare juggle. Mobile Botox removes all of that. Courtney comes to you, sets up a clean treatment space, and you are back to your day as soon as you are done.
Time is the real luxury. Treatment at your kitchen table during nap time, or in your office between meetings, is a different experience than a clinic appointment, at the same transparent per-unit price. If you are curious about how a home visit works step by step, read what to expect from mobile Botox at home.
