Botox is the most booked aesthetic treatment in New York, and a growing number of famous faces have stopped pretending otherwise. Below is every name we could confirm in the person’s own words, with the source linked. No rumors, no “insiders say.”

The pattern in what they say
Read the quotes together and one theme jumps out: small amounts, spaced out. Robin Wright talks about a little, twice a year. Vanessa Williams says “very sparingly.” That lines up with how good injectors in Manhattan work now, with lighter doses that keep movement in the face rather than freezing it.
What it costs in Manhattan
Across the practices that publish a price, Botox in Manhattan runs about $13 to $18 per unit. A forehead and frown lines together usually takes 20 to 40 units, so most first visits land between roughly $300 and $700. We track 273 Manhattan practices that offer neurotoxins.
- Appointment: 10 to 15 minutes
- Downtime: None
- Kicks in: 3 to 5 days, full at 2 weeks
- Lasts: 3 to 4 months
How to pick an injector
- Ask who injects: an MD, NP, PA or RN, and how many treatments a week they do.
- Ask for the per unit price and how many units they expect for your areas.
- Ask which brand: Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Daxxify and Jeuveau dose differently.
- Book a two week check in. Good practices touch up if one side moves more.
