Botox in Denver: Pricing, Dosing & What to Expect

At Nurture Wellness in Cherry Creek, Botox and Daxxify run $14 a unit, and Dysport and Xeomin run $13 a unit. Every new patient starts with a $100, 30-minute neuromodulator visit, credited in full toward whatever you book, with a 30-unit minimum on that first purchase. A typical frown-line or crow's-feet treatment runs 20 to 40 units, so most first Botox visits land around $280 to $560 in product on top of the credited $100.

Botox has been around since 2002, more studied than the others, with results in 3 to 7 days. Dysport spreads more per unit. That's good for a big area like the forehead, and it often works faster: 2 to 3 days. Xeomin skips the accessory proteins Botox and Dysport carry, a "naked" formula that can help if you've built up resistance to another brand. Daxxify is the new one; it lasts up to 6 months, about a month longer than the rest. Pricing runs $14 a unit for Botox and Daxxify, $13 for Dysport and Xeomin. Meg picks one based on your area and how long you want it to last.

Not at Nurture. Meg doses conservatively on purpose, enough to soften a wrinkle, not enough to stop your eyebrows from moving. Most patients come back saying they look rested, not "done" - that's the goal, not an accident. If you want an even lighter touch, ask about "baby Botox": fewer units per area, so the muscle softens instead of shutting off completely.

Baby Botox is a dosing approach, not a different product: Meg uses fewer units per area than a standard treatment, so the muscle softens rather than fully freezes. It's popular for a first Botox visit, for younger patients treating early lines preventively, or for anyone who wants some natural movement to remain. Because it's dosing rather than a separate product, it's priced the same per unit ($14 for Botox), just with fewer units used.

Initial smoothing usually shows up within 3 to 7 days, with full results settled in by about two and a half weeks. Dysport tends to work a little faster, often in 2 to 3 days. Results typically last 3 to 4 months, and up to 6 months with Daxxify, depending on your metabolism, dose, and activity level. Most patients rebook every 3 to 4 months for maintenance.

Unit counts vary by area, muscle strength, and goals. Typical ranges run 6 to 40 units for frown lines, 8 to 15 units per side for crow's feet, and 12 to 30 units for the forehead. Every new-patient visit has a 30-unit minimum. Meg assesses your muscles in person at your $100 consultation and gives you a specific number before you commit to anything.

None. You can go back to your day immediately - work, errands, picking up your kids. Two things matter in the first few hours: skip the gym for 24 hours, and stay upright, no lying flat, for at least 4 hours, so the product settles where Meg placed it instead of migrating.

Skip alcohol and blood thinners for a few days beforehand - both make you bruise more. Skip your morning coffee too. A lot of patients start arnica or bromelain a day or two early, and some add 50mg of zinc for five days on either side of treatment; neither is required, but both seem to help. The one non-negotiable: tell Meg your actual health history and medication list, not the short version.

FDA-approved, on-label: frown lines, forehead lines, crow's feet, and neck bands, per the FDA's current label and the American Academy of Dermatology. Off-label, but common at Nurture: bunny lines on the nose, a lip flip, a gummy smile, chin dimpling, and masseter/jaw slimming. These are well-established uses; the FDA just hasn't reviewed Botox for them by name. Meg examines you first and tells you honestly whether an off-label use fits your goals.

Not yet. Masseter, or jaw-slimming, Botox is a widely used off-label treatment for a square jaw or clenching-related jaw tension. But as of this writing, the FDA has only accepted, not approved, a company's application for that specific use (August 2026). Nurture still offers it; Meg examines your jaw muscles and talks through what's realistic before treating you.

No, they solve different problems. A lip flip is a handful of Botox units at the edge of the upper lip, relaxing the muscle that rolls it inward so more lip shows, without adding a drop of volume. Filler does the opposite job: it adds hyaluronic-acid volume. Because a flip only needs a few units, it's priced per unit like anywhere else on the face and runs cheaper than a filler syringe, and yes, it's off-label. Plenty of patients get both: a flip for shape, filler for volume.

Yes, both are separate, FDA-approved medical uses of Botox: chronic migraine prevention (approved since 2010) and severe underarm sweating, known as hyperhidrosis. These are treated as medical rather than cosmetic visits and use a different injection pattern and unit count than a cosmetic treatment. Ask at booking if you're interested in either.

Meg Anguiano, FNP, the owner and only provider at Nurture, performs every injection herself. She's a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and has been a nurse since 2013, working exclusively in medical aesthetics. There's no rotating staff and no handoff to an aesthetician; the person who examines you at your consultation is the person who treats you.

Yes. Colorado gives nurse practitioners full practice authority, so a board-certified NP like Meg can evaluate, diagnose, and treat you directly, no supervising physician required. Safety comes down to training and dosing habits, not the letters after the name. One real warning, straight from the American Academy of Dermatology: never get botulinum toxin outside a medical setting. A non-medical spa, salon, or house party isn't using the same product, and there's no licensed provider watching for problems.

Nurture Wellness & Aesthetics is at 90 Madison St, Suite 201, in Cherry Creek North, a few minutes from Wash Park, Glendale, Capitol Hill, and Cheesman Park. Every Botox and Dysport visit is performed by Meg Anguiano, FNP, in the same studio, not a rotating franchise location. Call or text (720) 717-0688 to book, or book online.

The new-patient neuromodulator visit is $100 for 30 minutes, and that full $100 is credited toward whatever Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, or Daxxify you book that same visit; it's not a separate fee on top. The visit has a 30-unit minimum once you decide to treat. If you decide not to treat that day, the $100 covers Meg's exam and consultation time.

Most patients rebook every 3 to 4 months as the muscle regains movement, or up to every 6 months with Daxxify. Some patients find that repeat treatment over time lets the muscle thin, stretching out the interval between visits.

Yes, and many Nurture patients do. Botox and Dysport relax the muscle behind a movement line, while dermal fillers replace lost volume in the lips, cheeks, or jawline, an entirely different mechanism. A consultation is where Meg builds a combined plan if both make sense for your goals.
