How much does Botox cost in Lima compared to the US?

Full-face botulinum toxin (Botox) at Elyzea is $229 USD (S/800) covering forehead, glabella, and crow's feet. In the US, the same coverage runs $800–$1,500. That's a 70–85% savings even before factoring in the lower cost of travel and accommodation in Lima.

How much does Botox cost in Chile vs Lima?

Full-face Botox in Chile typically runs CLP$350,000–CLP$700,000 depending on the practitioner. At Elyzea Lima the equivalent is approximately CLP$218,000 (referential at current exchange rate). The savings are 35%–70% even after factoring in a Santiago–Lima flight, which is approximately 3 hours 40 minutes direct.

How long do botulinum toxin results last?

Most patients see effects last 4 to 6 months. Onset is at 3–5 days, peak effect at 2 weeks. With regular treatments every 3–4 months, many patients find results last longer over time as the muscles 'learn' to relax. Standard maintenance is 2–3 sessions per year.

Do Chilean citizens need a visa to travel to Lima?

No. Chilean citizens can enter Peru with a valid national ID card (cédula) or passport — no visa required, up to 90 days as a tourist. The Santiago–Lima direct flight is about 3 hours 40 minutes with daily frequency. This makes Lima one of the easiest medical-tourism destinations from Chile.

Who performs Botox injections at Elyzea?

All neuromodulator injections at Elyzea are performed personally by Dra. Geldres, a board-certified plastic surgeon. Her surgical training gives her detailed knowledge of facial anatomy, allowing personalized dosing and natural-looking results — no 'frozen look'. The specific product brand is named at consultation.

What areas can be treated with neuromodulators?

Standard aesthetic areas are forehead, glabella (frown lines), and crow's feet. Also treated: bunny lines (nose bridge), subtle brow lift, gummy smile, and platysmal bands (neck). Therapeutic applications include hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating in underarms, palms, or forehead) and bruxism (teeth grinding).

Will Botox give me a frozen face?

Not when dosing is correct. The 'frozen look' is the result of overdosing or inexpert injection. Dr. Geldres's technique prioritizes natural movement: doses are calibrated to each patient's specific muscle strength. After treatment you can smile, frown, and gesture normally — only the dynamic wrinkles soften.

Is medical tourism for Botox in Lima safe?

Yes — when you choose a center with a board-certified plastic surgeon and medical-grade product with full traceability. Botulinum toxin has an excellent safety profile in expert hands. Recovery is essentially zero — you can fly back to Santiago or your home city the same day. We recommend a full day in Lima for flexibility.

How many units do I need and how is pricing calculated?

Elyzea charges S/800 ($229 USD) for full face covering the three standard zones (forehead, glabella, crow's feet) — no extra fee per unit. The number of units varies by individual muscle strength, but all units required for the optimal result are included. Unit count is transparent and disclosed at consultation.

What aftercare is needed?

First 4 hours: stay upright, no massage or pressure on injection points, no intense exercise. First 24 hours: avoid saunas, hot baths, and alcohol. A 2-week follow-up confirms the effect and allows for any touch-up. Normal social activity can resume the same day — at most a few small red spots for an hour.

Botulinum Toxin Cost in Lima, Peru 2026: Pricing & What to Expect

Neuromodulators — injectable botulinum toxin, FDA-regulated products such as Botox (Allergan/AbbVie, see the official FDA label) — are the world’s most popular non-surgical aesthetic treatment. And in Lima, you can access world-class results at a fraction of US prices. At Elyzea, a full-face botulinum toxin treatment costs $229 USD (S/800). In the United States, the same treatment runs $800 to $1,500. That’s a savings of 70–85%. Here’s everything you need to know about pricing, treatment areas, and what to expect.

Botulinum Toxin Pricing at Elyzea: 2026 Rates

At Elyzea, a full-face botulinum toxin treatment costs S/800 (approximately $229 USD). This includes the three primary zones: forehead, glabella (frown lines), and crow’s feet.

International price comparison:

United States: $300 – $600 USD per individual zone, $800 – $1,500 USD for full face
Savings vs. US: 70–85% less than American prices
Average in Lima: S/600 – S/1,200 for full face, depending on the center and physician experience

Our price is fully transparent: it includes the evaluation consultation, the product, and the application. No hidden costs.

What Areas Can Be Treated?

Botulinum toxin has both aesthetic and therapeutic applications:

Forehead: Smooths horizontal lines that appear when raising the eyebrows
Glabella (frown lines): Eliminates the vertical lines between the brows that create an angry or tired appearance
Crow’s feet: Reduces lines that form around the eyes when smiling
Bunny lines: Lines on the bridge of the nose
Brow lift: Subtle non-surgical lifting effect
Hyperhidrosis: Treatment for excessive sweating in the underarms, palms, or forehead

How Long Do Results Last?

Botulinum toxin effects are temporary — which many patients consider an advantage, as you can refine your treatment over time:

Onset: 3 to 5 days after injection
Peak effect: At 2 weeks
Duration: 4 to 6 months for most patients
Maintenance: 2 to 3 sessions per year to maintain consistent results

With regular treatments, many patients find that results last longer over time, as the muscles become “trained” to relax.

Natural Results vs. the “Frozen Look”

The most common fear is losing facial expressiveness. The truth is that results depend entirely on who performs the treatment. Expert application achieves:

A refreshed, rested appearance — not frozen or artificial
Natural expressions — you can smile, frown, and gesture normally
Facial harmony — your natural symmetry and proportions are respected

Dr. Geldres is a board-certified plastic surgeon with deep knowledge of facial anatomy. Her approach prioritizes subtle, natural results, adjusting dosages based on each patient’s muscle strength and facial proportions.

Why Does the Injector Matter?

Botulinum toxin is a medical treatment that requires:

Precise anatomical knowledge: Knowing exactly where to inject and at what depth
Personalized dosing: Every face is different — the same dose doesn’t work equally for everyone
Medical-grade product: At Elyzea, we exclusively use certified, medical-grade botulinum toxin with full traceability
Realistic expectations: A good physician will honestly explain what the treatment can and cannot achieve

What pairs well with botulinum toxin?

Neuromodulators address dynamic wrinkles (those formed by expression). For static wrinkles or volume loss, many patients combine other treatments in the same visit or in sequenced sessions:

Hyaluronic acid filler: For volume in cheeks, lips, and grooves — pricing and durations in our hyaluronic acid cost guide
HIFU facial: For oval and neck laxity (non-surgical lifting) — see our HIFU pricing guide

Neuromodulator standards at Elyzea

Neuromodulator injection (botulinum toxin type A — products include Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Jeuveau) is delivered at Elyzea by Dra. Geldres herself, a board-certified plastic surgeon. Dosing is calibrated to your specific muscle activity and goals — natural-looking softening of dynamic lines without the "frozen" appearance from over-dosing. The brand is named at consultation, unit count transparent, 2-week follow-up confirms intended effect. Standard maintenance every 3–4 months.

Why Elyzea is different in Lima

Three things separate Elyzea from most aesthetic-medicine providers operating in Lima and across Latin America. First, we use real, manufacturer-genuine equipment — not the Chinese imitations sold under similar-sounding brand names that flood the regional market. Whether the procedure involves a HIFU platform, a CO₂ laser, a Morpheus8 unit, a picosecond laser, or any other technology, the device is the genuine FDA-cleared (or equivalent) product, with manufacturer service contracts and original consumables. Second, an MD anesthesiologist is on-site for procedures that require it. Topical numbing alone is inadequate for many protocols at the depth or energy that actually delivers results; on-site anesthesia means we can run the protocol as designed without forcing patients to grit through pain or quietly reducing energy mid-procedure. Third, a full clinical setup includes a treatment room, an anesthesia bay with proper emergency equipment, a private recovery room where patients can decompress 30–60 minutes before leaving, and a dispensary that stocks post-procedure care products. Not a single-bed spa room.

For patients flying to Lima from the US, Canada, Europe, or other Latin American countries, this clinical infrastructure is the prerequisite — not a marketing add-on. When you're a medical tourist, you don't have a local primary-care doctor and you don't have family in the same time zone. The clinic itself has to be capable of handling whatever happens during and after the procedure, in real time.

What the free virtual consultation covers

The 45-minute free virtual consultation with Dra. Geldres is the starting point for any treatment plan. We review your goals in detail, your medical history including current medications and skincare routine, photos of the area or concern (taken with consistent lighting), and any prior aesthetic treatments and their outcomes. We then discuss realistic options for your specific case, what each delivers, what each does not, and what a sensible sequence looks like if multiple modalities are appropriate.

For medical-tourism patients, the consultation also covers travel logistics: trip length, hotel recommendations in Miraflores, what to bring, when to arrive relative to the procedure, and what to plan for the recovery window. The goal is that you arrive in Lima with a clear plan and no surprises — and the freedom to redirect or decline anything that isn't right for you. The consultation is genuinely free and does not commit you to anything.
