That $6 spread is the real answer to "what does Botox cost in Chicago?" There is no single Chicago price — there is a published range, and where a spa sits in it is public information before you ever book a consultation.
The published prices, spa by spa
These are standard published per-unit rates — not event prices, not estimates, and not third-party directory ranges.
| Med spa (area) | Published Botox price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Beauty With Bubbly (Glenview) | $10/unit | New-patient rate |
| Skinovatio (Lincoln Park + area locations) | From $10/unit | Published on its homepage |
| Viva La Med Spa (Old Town) | $12/unit | Regular published rate |
| Chicago Aesthetics (Downtown + Glenview) | $15/unit | Implied list price (buy 40 units, get 10 free, described as "a $150 value at $15 per unit") |
| Chicago Oculofacial — Dr. Phelps (Lincoln Park + Winnetka) | $15/unit | Published list, neuromodulator |
| Complex Aesthetics (Little Italy) | $16/unit | Published list; the spa states a no-specials policy |
Two more published numbers explain most of the "cheap Botox in Chicago" ads you will see this season:
- PURE Medical Spa (Gold Coast, Roscoe Village, Skokie, Oakbrook Terrace, Naperville) publishes a $7.99/unit introductory rate — and $7.99 inside its tox bundles, $9.99 if you bank 100+ units. That is a promotional floor, not a standard rate, and it is the lowest number a price-shopping patient will find first.
- Express Med Spa (five Chicago-area clinics) published an October special at $10.31/unit, against its regular $10.95–$12.95.

What a typical visit actually costs at these prices
Per-unit prices are hard to compare until you turn them into a visit. Using the worked example from our pricing research — a 40-unit treatment:
- At the $7.99 introductory floor: $320
- At the $13.50 median: $540
- At a $14 list price: $560
- At the $16 high end: $640
The gap between the promotional floor and a $14 list price is $240 on the same 40 units ($320 vs $560) — before the injector's experience, the practice's follow-up policy, or anything else enters the decision. That is why the per-unit number is worth checking before the consultation, not during it.
For context, MedicalSpaLocator's national Botox guide puts the typical price at $10–$25 per unit, with a full upper-face treatment (40–60 units) commonly running $500–$1,200 depending on units used and provider. Chicago's published standard range sits in the lower half of that band; its promotional floor sits below it.
And lip filler, while you're comparing
The same October 23 check read published lip filler prices at the same spas. A full syringe runs $449 to $750 across the publishers: $449 at PURE Medical Spa ($399 when banking two or more), from $750 at Complex Aesthetics and OVME's standard list (from $499 for first-time clients there). The only dated sale price published so far is a Black Friday offer at $525–$599 (25% off, running November 17 – December 6). MedicalSpaLocator's editorial planning range for lip filler is $500–$900 per syringe (a planning estimate, not an observed average), so Chicago's published range sits at and below that band's low end — genuinely competitive, if the date and the injector suit you.
How to use this before you book
- Compare standard rates to standard rates. A $7.99 introductory price and a $16 list price are not the same product decision; one is a first-visit promotion, the other is the ongoing rate. Ask any spa quoting a promotional rate what the standard rate is when you return in three to four months.
- Check whether the price is even published. Several well-known Chicago spas publish no per-unit price at all. "Not published" doesn't mean expensive — it means the number only appears after a consultation. Spas that publish are easier to compare, and this list is built only from publishers.
- Price is one column, not the table. Injector credentials, product authenticity, and follow-up care don't appear in a price list. Our checklist for choosing a provider is in How to Find a Reputable Med Spa, and Chicago providers are compared side by side in the Chicago med spa directory.
