Everything Manila's first-time Botox patients need to know: pricing, what to ask, red flags to avoid, and where our medical editor recommends going.
Botox is the most performed aesthetic procedure in the Philippines and, when administered correctly, among the safest. When performed by under-qualified practitioners in inappropriate settings, it is also responsible for the majority of aesthetic complications our medical editorial team encounters.
What It Costs in Manila
Botox in Manila ranges from approximately ₱500 to ₱1,500 per unit. A full-face Botox treatment typically requires 30–50 units and costs ₱15,000–₱45,000 at reputable clinics.
Red Flags to Avoid
1. Clinics that quote per-area without specifying unit count 2. Botox administered by non-physicians 3. Prices below ₱500/unit (possible dilution or counterfeit product) 4. No consultation before treatment 5. No follow-up appointment offered
