Editorial Standards

This page covers three things: where our price figures come from, what "not medical advice" means in practice, and what happens after you flag something wrong.

Where the pricing comes from

Two sources feed every number on this site. Most come from our own calculator model, built from published dermatology and medical spa pricing surveys and disclosed openly as our estimate rather than a scraped or purchased dataset. Where we cite an outside figure directly, such as a specific pricing survey, we name the source and the year in the text next to the claim, not tucked into a footnote. We do not accept pricing data, free treatments, or payment from injectors, medspas, or toxin manufacturers in exchange for coverage.

What "not medical advice" covers

Naomi Foster, who writes the guides on this site, researches and writes about healthcare costs; she is not a physician, nurse, or licensed injector. Nothing published here diagnoses anything, tells you whether Botox is right for your specific face, or substitutes for an in-person evaluation by a licensed provider. When a guide describes side effects, contraindications, or who should avoid treatment, it is summarizing published clinical sources and says so directly. Where the evidence is thin or mixed, we say that too instead of presenting it as settled. Whether to get Botox, and from whom, is a decision between you and a licensed provider, not a decision this website can make for you.

Corrections

Found a number, a date, or a claim that looks wrong? Use the contact page. Naomi checks the correction against the original source before touching the page. If it holds up, we fix it and update the page's "updated" date; for anything that changes a cost figure or a safety claim in a meaningful way, we also note what changed at the bottom of that guide. Errors get corrected in the open, not quietly erased.
