“How much does Botox cost in Lima?” is the first question we hear at Elyzea about botulinum toxin. The direct answer: at our Miraflores clinic, a full-face treatment costs S/800 (~US$229), equivalent to ~CLP$218,000 referential for patients flying from Chile. The next sections cover exactly what that price includes, what variables move it, what to expect, and how it compares to Santiago and the US. Travel logistics for Chilean patients are at the end.
Botulinum Toxin Pricing at Elyzea: 2026
At Elyzea the full-face botulinum toxin treatment is S/800 (~US$229 / referential ~CLP$218,000). It covers the three classic dynamic zones: forehead, glabella (frown lines), and crow’s feet. Price includes the evaluation consultation, the product, application by Dr. Geldres, and a 2-week follow-up to fine-tune symmetry if needed.
| Market | Full face | CLP referential |
|---|---|---|
| Elyzea (Miraflores, Lima) | S/800 (~US$229) | ~CLP$218,000 |
| Lima market average | S/600 – S/1,200 | ~CLP$163,000 – CLP$326,000 |
| Santiago de Chile | ~CLP$350,000 – CLP$700,000 | — |
| United States | US$800 – US$1,500 | ~CLP$760,000 – CLP$1,425,000 |
Savings vs US prices land between 70–85%; vs Santiago between 35–70% depending on the comparison clinic. For a broader local comparison of neuromodulators as a category, see our neuromodulator pricing guide.
What variables change the price?
While our full-face price is fixed, your total plan can vary by:
- Zones treated: S/800 covers the three classic facial zones. Additional bunny lines, chin, masseter (bruxism), or underarms (hyperhidrosis) are quoted separately
- Units required: A 30-year-old with mild musculature may need 30–40 units; a patient with strong musculature may need 50–60. Dosing is tuned to actual muscle strength, not a flat protocol
- Brand used: Botox (Allergan), Dysport (Galderma), Xeomin (Merz), Jeuveau (Evolus) have slightly different profiles. The brand is named at consultation — no surprises
- Who applies: At Elyzea the injections are performed by Dr. Geldres, board-certified plastic surgeon. This matters for anatomical precision and symmetry
- Combined treatments: If combined with hyaluronic acid fillers or other procedures in the same session, package discounts are evaluated case-by-case
What areas can be treated?
Botulinum toxin has both aesthetic and therapeutic applications:
- Forehead: Smooths horizontal lines from raising the eyebrows
- Glabella (frown lines): Erases vertical lines between the brows that create a tired or angry look
- Crow’s feet: Reduces lines around the eyes when smiling
- Bunny lines: Lines on the bridge of the nose
- Chemical brow lift: Subtle lifting effect without surgery
- Masseter: Slims the jaw contour and treats bruxism
- Mentalis and oral commissures: For pebbled chin and downturned mouth corners
- Hyperhidrosis: Excessive sweating in underarms, palms, or forehead
Sessions, duration, and maintenance
Botulinum toxin is a 30-minute outpatient procedure. No medical leave required.
- Onset: 3 to 5 days post-injection
- Peak effect: 2 weeks (follow-up consultation included)
- Duration: 4 to 6 months for most patients
- Maintenance: 2 to 3 sessions per year for consistent results
- Adaptive relaxation: Regular treatments often produce longer-lasting effect over time
Aftercare
Post-treatment protocol is simple but important:
- First 4 hours: Do not lie down, bend over, massage, or press the area
- First 24 hours: Avoid intense exercise, sauna, jacuzzi, alcohol, and makeup over the points
- Day 1+: Normal activity — work, social life, travel
- Week 2: Peak-effect evaluation and touch-up if needed (included in price)
If you are combining the trip from Chile with longer-recovery procedures, see our Chile–Lima medical-tourism guide to plan the recovery window.
Contraindications
Botulinum toxin is not recommended in:
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding — due to lack of safety data
- Neuromuscular diseases: myasthenia gravis, ALS, Eaton-Lambert syndrome
- Known allergy to botulinum toxin or albumin
- Active infection at the injection site
- Aminoglycoside therapy or other drugs that potentiate the toxin
The free consultation screens your medical history and current medications before approving any application. If you also want non-injectable alternatives, see our guides on Morpheus8 in Lima for moderate skin laxity, or cryolipolysis for localized fat — both are commonly combined with botulinum toxin in the same trip.
The “frozen look” and why the injector matters
The most common fear is losing facial expressiveness. The truth: results depend entirely on who applies. A calibrated application achieves:
- Refreshed, rested look — not frozen or artificial
- Natural expressions — you can smile, frown, and gesture normally
- Facial harmony — your symmetry and proportions are preserved
Dr. Geldres is a board-certified plastic surgeon with deep facial-anatomy expertise. Her approach prioritizes subtle dosing tuned to each patient’s muscle strength and proportions.
