If you need a single session on a small area, your bill is likely to be closer to $510 (about ₹48,400).

Botox (botulinum toxin) injections relax chosen muscles to soften facial lines and are also used for medical difficulties such as migraine and heavy sweating.

Bupa makes clear that botulinum toxin relaxes muscles to soften lines on the forehead and around the eyes and mouth, and that the effect generally lasts three to six months.

Teeth grinding is another medical use.

Bupa observes that botulinum toxin is a prescription medicine that should be given by a licensed professional such as a doctor or dentist.

The injections take a few minutes, effects begin within days and peak at approximately two weeks, and side effects can include bruising, headache and, rarely, a drooping eyelid or brow.

Fitness to fly: skin and laser treatment does not normally affect flying, but keep the treated area out of the sun and follow the aftercare plan on the journey.

In Chennai, the price of Botox is generally built from these parts:

• Course length: how many sessions are planned.
• Machine used: the laser or light device.
• GST: which can apply to cosmetic skin treatment.
• Areas treated: forehead, eyes or elsewhere.
• Units used: per area.
• Who injects: a qualified doctor.
• Repeat treatment: every few months.

Skin and laser treatments are generally priced per session, so a Chennai costing near the upper end of the range above would be unusual. Ask how many sessions the price covers.

Skin and laser treatments in Chennai are provided by dermatology clinics and hospital departments, so ask which machine will be used and who will operate it.
