If you searched "how much does Botox cost in Pittsburgh," you're not alone, and you're in the right place. But here's something most providers won't tell you upfront: Botox is a brand name, not a procedure. It's one of six FDA-approved neuromodulators on the US market, made by Allergan.
Most people use "Botox" the same way they say "Kleenex" for any tissue or "Google" for any search engine. When patients ask us about Botox, what they're really asking about is a neuromodulator treatment: an injectable medication that relaxes specific muscles to smooth wrinkles, lift features, and refine facial balance.
At Rebel Face Aesthetics in Lawrenceville, Pittsburgh, we don't carry Botox. We carry Daxxify, and we made that choice deliberately. Here's what that means for your results, your schedule, and your wallet.
First, a Quick Clarification: "Botox" Is a Brand Name
A neuromodulator is an injectable treatment that temporarily relaxes specific muscles to soften dynamic wrinkles, lift features, and refine facial balance. Botox is one brand of neuromodulator : the original, and the most recognized. But there are now six FDA-approved neuromodulators on the US market, and they are not all equal.
Most patients say "Botox" the way they say "Google" when they mean any search engine. If that's you, welcome! You're looking for a neuromodulator treatment, and you've found the right place.
Why Rebel Face Carries Daxxify - Not Botox
We evaluated every FDA-approved neuromodulator on the market. We chose one: Daxxify. Not because it's newer. Because in our clinical opinion, it delivers the best outcome for our patients.
Daxxify lasts longer than traditional neuromodulators. That means fewer appointments, lower annual cost for many patients, and longer stretches of looking like your best self without scheduling around touch-ups.
We don't carry Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, or any other brand. One product. The best one.
What Is Daxxify?
Daxxify (daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm) is an FDA-approved neuromodulator made by Revance Therapeutics, approved in 2022. It uses a peptide-based stabilizer instead of human serum albumin , which is what gives it its extended duration compared to traditional neuromodulators.
Clinical trial data showed that a significant majority of patients maintained results well beyond the typical 3-4 month window seen with traditional Botox. For patients who previously came in every 3-4 months for touch-ups, Daxxify often means cutting treatment frequency significantly.
How Much Does Daxxify Cost in Pittsburgh?
At Rebel Face Aesthetics, we price Daxxify by the unit, not by "area." Pricing by unit is the most transparent model because the number of units you need depends on your muscle mass, anatomy, and goals. Two patients treating the same area may need different amounts.
Until you have a consultation with one of our certified medical providers, we cannot quote you a dosage or treatment cost.
The Annual Cost Comparison: Why Daxxify Often Wins
Daxxify is typically priced higher per treatment than traditional Botox. That's true. But here's the math most people don't run:
Traditional Botox typically requires 3-4 treatments per year. Daxxify, due to its longer duration, typically requires less treatments per year. For many patients, the annual cost comes out comparable (or lower) while cutting the number of appointments, sometimes, in half.
For patients who previously booked a tox treatment three or four times a year, switching to Daxxify means less appointments with equal or better results.
You get your time back.
Common Treatment Areas in Pittsburgh
The most popular at our practice:
Forehead lines
Smooths horizontal lines caused by repeated brow raising.
Frown lines (the "11s")
The vertical lines between the brows. One of the most requested areas - and one of the most satisfying results.
Crow's feet
The smile lines at the outer corners of the eyes.
"Bunny Lines"
Small amount of units injected into the muscles around the upper part of you nose. This prevents the "crinkling" seen when scrunching your nose &/or smiling.
"Gummy Smile"
How we approach the "gummy smile" is different than what most people think of a "lip flip". Although lip flips are popular and give the illusion of a larger lip with animation, the gummy smile injection is higher on the upper lip or side of the nose to isolate the muscle causing the lip to extremely elevate.
DAO/Mentalis
Injected into the chin and surrounding muscles to help smooth &/or prevent marionette lines, the orange peel chin (peau d'orange), and a downturned mouth.
Masseter / jaw slimming
Injecting into the masseter muscle can slim the jawline and help with TMJ tension.
Underarm tox (hyperhidrosis)
One of the most life-changing services we offer. Dramatically reduces or eliminates underarm sweating. Often overlooked, but always impactful.
Nefertiti "Neck Lift"
Injected into the platysma muscle and bands: the vertical cords seen in the neck and into the jawline where it originates. Softens the vertical cords that become visible in the neck with age, and can give the subtle illusion of a tighter, more defined jawline.
