If you’re looking into anti-wrinkle injections in North York or Toronto, price per unit is usually one of the first things you want to know. This guide covers what Botox typically costs in the area, why per-unit pricing varies, and what affects your total.
What Does Botox Cost Per Unit in North York?
At MJ Aesthetics in North York, anti-wrinkle injections are priced at $6.50 per unit, with a reduced rate of $6.00 per unit for treatments requiring 50 or more units. These are among the more transparent pricing structures you’ll find in the Toronto area, where many clinics quote only “starting from” prices without specifying unit rates.
In the broader North York and Toronto market, per-unit pricing generally ranges from about $5.00 to $15.00 depending on the clinic, the injector’s background, and the treatment setting. Day spas and high-volume med spas tend to be at the lower end; physician-owned cosmetic clinics and plastic surgery offices are typically at the higher end.
Why Pricing Varies So Much
The price you pay per unit reflects more than just the product. Key factors include:
- Injector training and background: An injector with years of hands-on aesthetic experience commands a different rate than someone newly certified.
- Clinic type and overhead: A full medical clinic has different costs than a home-based or pop-up service.
- Brand of product used: Botox (OnabotulinumtoxinA) is one of several Health Canada–approved botulinum toxin products. Others include Dysport and Nuceiva. Pricing can differ by product.
- Treatment area and complexity: Some areas require a more precise technique than others, which affects how much injector time goes into each visit.
How Many Units Affects Your Total Cost
The total you pay depends on how many units are used — and that varies by treatment area and your own anatomy. As a general reference only (not a dosing recommendation — a consultation decides the actual number):
| Treatment Area | Typical Unit Range* | Estimated Cost at $6.50/unit |
|---|---|---|
| Forehead lines | 8–20 units | $52–$130 |
| Frown lines (11s) | 15–25 units | $97–$163 |
| Crow’s feet (both sides) | 10–24 units | $65–$156 |
| Full upper face (all three) | 30–60 units | $195–$390 |
| Underarm sweating | 100–150 units | Promotional: $370 |
Because the number of units affects your total significantly, an honest consultation matters. A good injector assesses your muscle movement and anatomy before suggesting a dose — not the other way around.

What “Botox” Actually Means in Ontario
“Botox” is a brand name that has become a catch-all term for botulinum toxin treatments. In Ontario, these injections are classified as controlled acts and must be performed under appropriate physician delegation or by a regulated health professional with the relevant scope of practice. When you’re comparing prices, it’s worth confirming who will perform the injection and what oversight structure is in place — not just what the cost per unit is.
At MJ Aesthetics, treatments are performed under physician delegation, in accordance with Ontario’s Regulated Health Professions Act. Mehran Javidan is an International Medical Graduate (IMG) with approximately 20 years of hands-on experience in medical aesthetics and is not currently registered as a physician with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO).
Is Cheaper Always Worse?
Not necessarily — but the lowest price in the market is worth scrutinizing. Questions worth asking:
- Is the product Health Canada–approved?
- Who is performing the injection, and what is their training?
- Is there medical oversight in place?
- What happens if you need a follow-up or correction?
A slightly higher per-unit cost at a clinic with transparent pricing, clear oversight, and experienced hands often works out better than a low-cost option that requires a correction.
Getting an Accurate Estimate
Because the total depends on your anatomy and treatment goals, the most accurate cost estimate comes from a consultation.
