Med spas charge anywhere from about $100 for a single small-area laser session to several thousand dollars for laser resurfacing or a series of treatments, depending on the treatment, the amount of product, and the number of sessions.

That's the short version.

The more useful answer is that "how much" depends on what you're buying.

A med spa might charge per unit of Botox, per syringe of filler, per session of laser, or per month for weight loss care. So the first question to ask is always "per what?"

Across the U.S., patients spend an average of $527 per med spa visit, based on 2023 industry data. That number blends a $109 laser session with a $1,000-plus filler appointment, so it's a starting point and nothing more.

Oregon averages for common med spa treatments range from $109 for underarm laser hair removal to $2,898 for ablative laser resurfacing.

These figures come from a procedural cost study covering 2023 to 2026 that collects prices from providers in each state's largest cities and applies the state average to each ZIP code. The prices below are for ZIP code 97302 in Salem, pulled in October 2026.

Two things to keep in mind. These are averages, so a clinic can sit well above or below them. And several of these treatments take more than one session, which the next sections cover.

Oregon prices also come in below national averages for some treatments. The national average Botox treatment is $445, compared with $346 in Oregon. A light chemical peel averages $230 nationally and $267 in Oregon, so it isn't lower across the board.

Med spas use six main pricing models: per unit, per syringe, per area, per session, per package, and per month.

Per-unit and per-syringe pricing is the most transparent, because you can see exactly what you're paying for. Per-area pricing is simpler to understand at the front desk but harder to compare between clinics, since one clinic's "forehead" might mean 10 units and another's 20.

Published Botox prices at Salem clinics run from about $14 to $18 per unit, which puts a 20-unit frown line treatment at roughly $285 to $360.

We checked the websites of five Salem med spas and aesthetic practices in October 2026. Three published any prices at all. The neurotoxin prices we found:

• Botox: $14.25 and $18 per unit
• Dysport, Xeomin, and Daxxify: $14 per unit at one clinic

Here's how the unit price turns into a treatment price, using the doses on the Botox Cosmetic label:

Your provider may use more or fewer units depending on your muscles and goals. That's why I quote after looking at your face move.

Why Dysport looks cheaper per unit

Dysport often looks cheaper per unit because Dysport units aren't equivalent to Botox units. The Dysport label states that its units can't be compared to or converted into units of any other botulinum toxin product, and its labeled dose for frown lines is 50 units compared with 20 for Botox.

So compare the total treatment price instead of the unit price.

If you're comparing Botox injections at different clinics, ask each one for the brand, the units, and the total.

The yearly cost of med spa treatment depends on how often you repeat it, so a $346 Botox visit becomes $1,038 to $1,384 a year at three to four visits.

Here's the math at Oregon averages:

The Botox label says treatment shouldn't be repeated more often than every three months, which sets the ceiling at four visits a year.

You'll usually need four to six laser hair removal sessions spaced several weeks apart, and some need maintenance after that. Larger areas cost more. One Salem clinic's published prices start at $150 for a small area like the underarms and $350 for full legs or a full back.

Filler is harder to annualize because how long filler lasts depends on the product and the area. Lip filler cost is set mostly by the number of syringes, so ask how many you'll need now and at your next visit.

Tattoo reduction adds up by session count too. Tattoo removal cost usually lands between $1,000 and $10,000 in total, depending on the ink, the location, and your skin.

Medical weight loss and peptide therapy are priced by the month, and the total depends on the medication, the dose, and how much monitoring is included.

Brand-name GLP-1 medications

Novo Nordisk sells Wegovy directly to self-pay patients. Through NovoCare, the Wegovy pen costs $199 a month for the first two monthly fills at the 0.25 mg and 0.5 mg doses (through December 31, 2026), then $349 a month for doses up to 2.4 mg. Wegovy tablets run $149 to $299 a month depending on the dose.

That's the medication. Your provider's visits, labs, and follow-up are usually billed separately, so ask what the monthly price at any clinic covers.

At our clinic, GLP-1 weight loss injections start with an exam and a plan, and we quote after the consultation.

Peptide therapy

Peptide therapy cost runs $150 to $2,000 a month, and most wellness protocols fall between $250 and $600. The biggest price drivers are the peptide itself, the dose, and whether supplies and follow-up visits are included. Peptide therapy at our clinic starts with a review of your goals and health history.

The price of a med spa treatment changes with the amount of product, the number of sessions, the provider's training, the device or brand, and what's included in the quote.

• Amount of product. More units of Botox or more syringes of dermal fillers means a higher price.
• Number of sessions. Lasers, peels, and RF microneedling usually need a series.
• Facial type. A hydradermabrasion facial averages $269 in Oregon, and HydraFacial and DiamondGlow are two popular med spa facials.
• Treatment depth. A medium chemical peel averages $695 in Oregon, compared with $267 for a light peel.
• Device. Ablative skin resurfacing costs more than non-ablative resurfacing ($2,898 vs. $1,868 at Oregon averages), and it usually comes with more downtime.
• Who treats you. Experience and licensing affect price, and they also affect your risk.
• What's included. Touch-ups, follow-up visits, numbing, and aftercare products may or may not be in the quote.

Price alone tells you very little about quality. A quote far below the local average is a reason to verify the provider and the product.

Cosmetic med spa treatments aren't covered by health insurance, and the IRS doesn't allow cosmetic procedures as deductible medical expenses.

IRS Publication 502 states that you generally can't include cosmetic surgery in medical expenses. That rule shapes what HSA and FSA funds can pay for, so check with your plan about anything cosmetic.

There is one important exception. The IRS lets you count weight loss costs when the treatment is for a specific disease diagnosed by a physician, such as obesity, hypertension, or heart disease. Drugs must be prescribed to count.

Some FDA-approved GLP-1 medications are also covered by insurance for diagnosed conditions. Coverage varies by plan, so call your insurer with the exact drug name.

Compare med spa quotes by the total cost for your treatment plan, including the product, the number of sessions, and any follow-ups.

Ask every clinic the same questions:

• What's the brand, and how many units or syringes do I need?
• How many sessions should I expect, and how far apart?
• Is there a consultation fee, and does it go toward treatment?
• Are touch-ups or follow-up visits included?
• What does a year of this treatment cost?

Then put the answers side by side. The clinic with the lowest unit price isn't always the cheapest once units and sessions are counted.

Myth: A lower price per unit means a cheaper treatment. Only if the brand and the number of units are the same. Dysport units and Botox units aren't interchangeable.

Myth: Packages always save money. A package saves money only if you finish it. Ask what happens if you stop partway or move.

Myth: The first visit is the whole cost. Botox, filler, and laser hair removal all need repeat visits. Budget for the year.

Myth: Med spa prices are the same everywhere. The average Botox treatment costs $346 in Oregon and $445 nationally.

Myth: Cheap means the same treatment for less. Sometimes it does. But a price far below licensed clinics in your area can point to a different product or a less experienced provider.

Start with the treatment you want, then get a quote that shows the brand, the amount of product, the number of sessions, and the yearly cost. Compare two or three clinics on those numbers.
