If you get Botox once or twice a year, paying as you go is pretty simple. You book an appointment, pay for your treatment, and get back to your daily activities.
But what if Botox has become part of your regular routine? In this instance, signing up for a Botox membership in SoCal is a worthwhile option.
The trick is figuring out whether the savings actually make sense for you. A membership isn’t automatically the cheaper choice just because it comes with a lower per-unit price.
Your treatment plan, how many units you need, and whether you will actually use the membership perks all matter.
How Much Does Botox Cost Without a Membership?
At Beauty Lounge San Marcos a single Botox unit costs $14.50 per unit. The number of units you’ll need depends on the areas being treated and your individual goals.
At $14.50 per unit, 40 units will cost you $580. A plan requiring 60 units will cost $870. If you regularly treat several areas throughout the year, these appointments can quickly add up.
Frequent treatment, especially involving a high number of units, can be less taxing on your wallet with a membership.
The Perks of a Beauty Lounge Membership
Beauty Lounge’s membership program is designed for people who receive routine aesthetic treatments. Members receive access to member pricing, discounts, promotions, rewards, and other perks.
We also offer different membership levels, so chances are you’ll find one that fits your needs and budget.
Our member price for Botox is $12 per unit. This saves you $2.50 for each unit you receive.
With a membership, a 40 unit plan will cost $100 less and a 60 unit plan will cost $150 less.
When Do Botox Memberships in SoCal Start Paying Off?
Let’s do a little math!
If your membership costs $30 per month, you’ll pay $360 annually.
If you only get 40 units once a year, saving $100 on that single appointment doesn’t make up for $360 in membership fees.
But, that’s not really how a Botox membership is intended to work.
Botox results are temporary and you’ll need maintenance treatments throughout the year. If each visit involves a large number of units, the per-unit savings can be worthwhile.
Don’t Ignore the Extra Perks
Our memberships go beyond a lower per-unit Botox cost. They also include:
- Rewards
- Member-only discounts and promotions
- A birthday perk
Members can also receive monthly service credits depending on the membership tier you select.
If you love trying skincare treatments, facials, or other aesthetic services, a membership may make more sense than it would for someone who only wants Botox once in a while.
When Pay-As-You-Go Makes More Sense
Financially Botox Memberships in SoCal don’t make sense for everyone.
If you’re new to Botox, still figuring out how often you want treatment, or only plan to get injections every once in a while, paying the non-member price may be the smarter move.
Paying per-session can be cheaper as you aren’t stuck paying a monthly membership fee that you aren’t using.
So, Which One Is Actually Cheaper?
It depends on the situation.
For someone who gets Botox occasionally, pay-as-you-go is the more cost effective choice.
For someone who gets Botox consistently throughout the year and will use other membership benefits, the membership can make more financial sense.
The best way to decide is to look at what you spent on Botox in the past year. Then estimate what you would have spent using the member rate, add the membership fees, and compare the two.
