botox in Iran step by step
Get informed guidance every step of the way – each step of the process, from initial inquiry to postsurgical care, is mapped out in detail so you know what to expect.
You send front and side photos at rest and while frowning, plus your medication list. A doctor replies with a written plan: which areas, how many units, which brand, and the exact fee.
Airport pickup and hotel check-in first. At the clinic the injector checks how your muscles move, confirms the plan, and marks the injection points on your skin before anything is opened.
A fine needle, no anaesthetic for most people, ice before and after. You walk back to the hotel the same hour.
No lying down, no rubbing, no gym. This is the window in which the toxin binds to the nerve endings.
Photos at peak effect. If one side moved more than the other, a small corrective dose is added at no extra charge.
Movement returns gradually. Patients on a steady schedule usually need fewer units on the second visit.
Botox in iran Packages
Pay only for talent- Our tiered system offers different levels of care based on surgeon experience and reputation, allowing you to choose the right fit for your needs and budget.
You’ll need to pay a separate fee for Canadian, American, and Britis Visas.
What the package covers
The $100 is the procedure fee, and it does not move with the hotel you pick. The three hotel tiers are the only variable, which is why two patients on the same treatment can pay $300 or $590 in total.
Visa fees for Canadian, American, British and some European passports are paid to the visa agency and are not part of the package. Ask for that line in writing before you pay a deposit.
Everything on the list is included, not optional: the interpreter is in the room during the consultation, the pre-op lab test is done before the injection, and the nurse stays one night if your treatment needs it.
Total for the most popular combination: $100 procedure + $290 four-star hotel = $390 for eight nights in Tehran.
- Medical visa (authorization code)
- Medical interpreter
- Vip / private transportation
- Pre-op lab test
- Medical photography
- Medication
- One welcoming meal
- Simcard and internet
- One night hospital nurse
- Pre/post operation doctor visit
What is the cost of Botox?
In Iran, Botox is available in clinics and medical centres across every major city. The fee depends on the clinic, the number of treatment areas and the brand used.
A Botox session in Iran starts at $100. With the 8-night hotel package the total comes to $300, $390 or $590, depending on the hotel tier.
That is 80 to 87 percent below the same session in Europe or the United States, which is why the comparison below is not close.
Before and after Botox injections in iran
The results of Botox gradually begin to show over a few days after treatment. Every “after” photo below was taken at day 14, at peak effect.
Frown lines soften first, usually by day three. Forehead lines are the slowest to respond and often look uneven in the first week, which is normal and settles by the review visit.
Botox does not tighten skin and does not erase creases that are already visible at rest. If that is your main concern, a filler or a skin-tightening treatment is the better match, and we will say so at the consultation rather than sell you a toxin that cannot do the job.
Other Services (Filler / Mesotherapy / PRP)
Botox is rarely the whole plan. These are the treatments most often booked alongside it.

The Best Iranian Botox Injectors
Botox treatments balancing facial lines and wrinkles are performed by our hand-selected specialists. For a refreshed, youthful look, they shape and lift the brows, eyes, cheeks, and neck.
Every injector on our panel is a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon, not a beautician with a weekend certificate. They treat facial lines, jaw bulk, neck bands and excessive sweating, and they work in clinics that hold an International Patient Admission licence from the Iranian Ministry of Health.
- Specialist board registration number shared with you before the appointment
- Minimum eight years of injectable experience
- English-speaking, with a coordinator in the room during the consultation
- Written treatment plan and unit count before any needle is opened
What is Botox?
Botox is a brand name. The drug itself is botulinum toxin type A, a purified protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum and measured in units.
Injected into a muscle, it blocks the release of acetylcholine, the signal that tells the muscle to contract. The muscle relaxes, the skin above it stops folding, and the line softens. The nerve ending recovers over three to four months, which is why the effect wears off and the treatment has to be repeated.
The dose used cosmetically is a tiny fraction of a toxic dose and stays local to the injection site at licensed doses. Botox has been licensed for cosmetic use in the United States since 2002 and is the most performed non-surgical cosmetic procedure in the world.
Is it Haram to get Botox in Islam?
Most Islamic scholars consider cosmetic procedures like Botox to be halal or permissible. However, some believe altering one’s appearance unnecessarily may go against Islamic principles of modesty. Many Muslims do choose to get Botox while following their faith.
Wrinkle Rewind: The Non-Surgical Magic of Botox
Two kinds of facial line, and only one of them responds to Botox. Getting this distinction right is the difference between a happy patient and a disappointed one.
| Type | Cause | Botox? |
|---|---|---|
| Dynamic | Muscle movement: frowning, squinting, smiling | Yes. This is what Botox is for. |
| Static | Volume loss, sun damage, loss of skin elasticity | Partly. Softens, but does not erase. Needs filler, laser or a lift. |
Dynamic lines are the ones you see only when your face is moving: the vertical lines between the brows when you concentrate, the horizontal bands on the forehead when you raise your eyebrows, the fan at the outer corner of each eye when you smile. Botox relaxes the muscle that creates the fold, so the skin stops being creased in that spot.
Left alone for years, a dynamic line becomes static. That is why starting earlier needs fewer units later, and why a deep line that is already visible at rest will only partly fade after the first session.

Where is the riskiest place for Botox?
The glabella (area between the eyebrows) is considered the highest risk area for Botox. Injecting here can inadvertently paralyze muscles that allow the eyelids to close, leading to an inability to blink the eyes fully.
What is cheaper than Botox?
Some nonsurgical alternatives that are cheaper than Botox include facial exercises, microcurrent devices, chemical peels, laser skin resurfacing, microneedling, and dermal fillers.
Best Botox brand:
Allergan Botox is the original and most well-known Botox brand. Other reputable brands include Dysport and Xeomin.
Different Botox brands:
The main Botox brands available in Iran and globally are Botox Cosmetic (Allergan), Dysport (Ipsen), Xeomin (Merz), and a few Korean and Chinese brands.

Is it safe to get Botox in Iran?
Yes, at licensed doses, in a licensed clinic, injected by a physician. The risk in Iran is not the toxin. It is unverified product and unqualified injectors, and both are avoidable with five minutes of checking.
Botulinum toxin is a prescription medicine in Iran, regulated by the Iranian Food and Drug Administration. Several brands are registered: Dysport, Botox, Xeomin, Neuronox, and the Iranian-made Masport and Dyston. Regulators have publicly warned that counterfeit vials carrying these same brand names have appeared on the market, which is why the checks below matter more here than in a German clinic.
How to verify your clinic in five minutes
- Clinic licence. Ask for the International Patient Admission (IPD) number and check it against the Ministry of Health list published at iht.behdasht.gov.ir. A business licence is not the same thing.
- Doctor registration. Ask for the Iran Medical Council (IRIMC) number and the specialty. “Cosmetic injector” is not a specialty; dermatology and plastic surgery are.
- Sealed vial. The box must be opened in front of you. Photograph the brand, batch number and expiry date. Refuse a pre-drawn syringe or a half vial.
- Price sanity. A full-face quote far below $100 is a dilution or counterfeit signal, not a bargain.
We only work with clinics that pass all four checks, and the vial is opened in front of you as standard practice, not on request.
Where do we inject Botox?
And what are the complications of Botox in Iran? Dose is set by muscle mass, not by the size of the wrinkle.
| Area | Units | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Glabella (between the brows) | 15 – 25 | Softens the "11" lines. Highest-risk area, most technique-dependent. |
| Forehead | 10 – 20 | Reduces horizontal bands. Over-dosing here drops the brow. |
| Crow's feet | 8 – 12 per side | Opens the eye area while keeping the smile natural. |
| Brow lift | 4 – 8 | Lifts the tail of the brow by relaxing the depressor muscles. |
| Masseter (jaw slimming) | 25 – 40 per side | Slims a square lower face and reduces teeth grinding. |
| Neck bands | 20 – 40 | Softens the vertical platysmal cords. |
| Underarms | 50 per side | Stops excessive sweating for 4 to 7 months. |
Men usually need 20 to 40 percent more units than women for the same visual result, because the frontalis and masseter are thicker. A typical male upper-face treatment is 40 to 60 units, with the brow kept lower and flatter rather than arched.
What can go wrong
Most side effects are mild and temporary: bruising, redness, a dull headache on the first night. The ones that matter are dose-related and technique-related. A brow that drops, an eyelid that droops, or a smile that pulls to one side all come from toxin reaching a muscle it was not meant for. They resolve as the effect wears off, usually within four to eight weeks, and are far less likely with a physician who injects daily.
Serious reactions are rare. Seek urgent care for difficulty swallowing, slurred speech, double vision, or weakness in the arms and legs in the days after any injection. Those are signs of systemic spread, not a normal side effect.

Are there different strengths of Botox?
Yes, the different brands come in varying strengths per unit. Botox Cosmetic is one of the strongest. Dentists adjust the dosages accordingly for each brand.
Which Botox brand is best?
Which Botox brand is used in Iran?
Are there different strengths of Botox, which brand is best, and which brands are actually available? Six are registered, and they are not interchangeable.
| Brand | Maker | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Dysport | Ipsen, France / UK | The premium option in Iran. Diffuses further, so it suits broad areas like the forehead. 1 Botox unit ≈ 2.5 Dysport units. |
| Botox | AbbVie / Allergan, USA | The reference product. Licensed for glabella, crow's feet and forehead lines. Least diffusion, most precise. |
| Xeomin | Merz, Germany | No complexing proteins, so lower antibody risk on long-term use. 1:1 with Botox. Supply in Iran is less consistent. |
| Neuronox | Medytox, South Korea | Widely used, 1:1 with Botox, mid-price. Good balance of cost and predictability. |
| Masport | MasoonDarou, Iran | Iranian-made Dysport analogue in 150, 300 and 500 unit vials. Cheapest option and the most used brand in the country. |
| Dyston | Iran | Contains lactose. Avoid if you have a dairy allergy. Comparable results to Masport in published comparison. |
Never compare price per unit across brands. Twenty units of Botox and twenty units of Dysport are not the same dose. Compare the total price for the area you want treated, with the brand named, and the comparison becomes meaningful.
A 2024 study from Tehran University compared Masport and Dyston in 81 patients with frown lines: satisfaction 7.7 versus 7.0 out of 10, duration 3.8 versus 3.5 months, no significant difference in either. Both are legitimate products. What is not legitimate is a vial that carries their name and did not come from the licensed distributor.
Which one do you prefer? Money or pleasant feeling?
Everyday morning, looking at the mirror facing your wrinkles on your forehead and around the eyes then filling upset the whole day or spending a few bucks on Botox injection and enjoy seven to eight months.
Ask you to think about the question I will help you with finding the answer.

Who should not get Botox?
Tell the doctor about any of the following before you book. Most of these change the plan rather than cancel it.
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Under 18 years old
- A neuromuscular disorder such as myasthenia gravis, Lambert-Eaton syndrome or ALS
- Allergy to human albumin or to any component of the specific brand
- Infection, inflammation or active acne at the injection site
- Currently taking anticoagulants, or a bleeding disorder
- Previous allergic reaction to a botulinum toxin injection
- Significant weakness or drooping of the eyelid on the side being treated
If none of these apply to you, you are likely a candidate. The injector confirms it at the face-to-face visit, before anything is opened.
All about Botox and filler in Iran:
Firstly, lets know what Botox is then we will go through its pros and cons and durability.
Botox is an abbreviation of botulism poison. The function of Botox injection directly into muscle is to reduces its activity and eliminates the lines and wrinkles left over from the face muscles overworking.
Botox’s mission as a fast and relatively non-invasive method get fulfilled between 4 to 7 days.

All about Botox and filler in Iran
Which one do you need, can they be done together, and what neither of them will do.
Botox relaxes the muscle that folds the skin. Filler adds volume under the skin. If the line disappears when you stop moving your face, you need Botox. If it is still there at rest, you need filler.
| Aspect | Botox | Filler |
|---|---|---|
| What it does | Relaxes muscle | Adds volume |
| Best for | Forehead, frown lines, crow's feet, jaw, neck | Cheeks, lips, chin, under-eyes, jawline, breast |
| First result | 3 – 5 days | Immediately |
| Lasts | 3 – 4 months | 9 – 18 months, depending on product |
| Fee in Iran | from $100 | Quoted per syringe |
They are often done together, and the order matters. Filler first if the area is being reshaped, because volume changes how the muscle pulls. Botox first if the goal is to stop a line from deepening. Doing both in one visit is safe and common; doing them in the wrong order wastes product.
Can Botox increase breast size?
No. Botox does not add volume anywhere, and no injectable toxin will enlarge a breast. If size is the goal, the option is hyaluronic acid breast filler, which adds roughly one cup size for 12 to 18 months and needs a physician experienced in large-volume work, or a surgical implant, which is permanent and a different decision altogether.
Botox has one narrow, off-label role in breast surgery: relaxing the pectoralis muscle to help an implant settle after submuscular placement. That is a surgeon’s intraoperative decision, not a cosmetic injection you can book.
How is the procedure of Botox in Iran?
Botox in Iran by professional and experienced either dermatologists or plastic surgeons at top-rated clinics using material certified by FDA (Food and Drug Administration of USA) at the most affordable cost are strong enough reason to tempt you.

What does Botox do with my wrinkles?
First of all, we have two types of face wrinkles:
1-The type of dynamics that are caused by the repeated movement of muscles over the years.
2 – Static type caused by a decrease in elasticity of the skin due to various causes that gravity can be one of them.
For long years, the one and only way to treat static wrinkles was lifting affecting on face and eyebrows let me mention that even lifting doesn’t work for treating dynamic wrinkles while Botox injection does.
Additionally, some people have a smile (Mona Lisa’s smile) where the corners of the mouth are naturally stretched to the bottom of the upper lip. Botox injection can eliminate this condition.
The vertical wrinkles on the forehead, between two eyebrows commonly appear in people who are used to frowning when talking or even sleeping. Botox perfectly remove this kind of wrinkles even if deep and profound one.
Botox injection is also a reliable solution for the wrinkles around the eyes.
Forehead folds, and Asymmetry of the eyelids or eyebrows are other application of Botox injection.


Is Botox in Iran Safe? Isn’t it poisonous?
Botox is a naturally occurring protein that is administered at a very low dose. The effect of Botox is usually limited to the injection site and does not spread to other parts of the body. Botox has been certified by the FDA and its 20-year clinical use has proven its safety.

Indeed, Botox injection in order to migraine treatment must be in the right places and in accordance with the FDA protocol at 31 points in the head and neck muscles.
including 7 points in the frontal muscle(forehead), 4 points in the temporal muscles of each side, 3 points in the occipital muscles (posterior). of each side, two points in the parotid muscle for each side of the neck and three points in the trapezius (upper shoulder) of each side, so it is different from the common Botox injections, and must be done well by a neurologist.


Stop excessively sweating
Botox uses are not just limited to cosmetic aspects. One of the therapeutic applications of Botox is to eliminate excessive sweating.
In this case, Botox is injected into the skin instead of being injected into the muscle, and the Botox injection function to prevent sweating starts after 7 days and the durability is about 7 months.
If the injection is renewed on a regular basis, it will last up to 16 months.

The difference between fillers in Iran and Botox

In addition to Botox in Iran, there is another product called gel or filler that has no wrinkle-removing properties but is used solely to fill in gaps. Botox is essentially crippling, so it is used more for the upper part of the face.
But the gel or filler has a filling state and is used on the lower part of the face. The fillers are injected into the cheeks, laughter line, chin and lips.
Frequently Asked Questions About botox
A Botox session in Iran starts at $100 for the procedure, and the 8-night hotel package starts at $200. The total depends on the hotel tier you choose: $300, $390 or $590. Ask for the brand and unit count in writing, because units are not comparable between brands.
Three to four months for facial lines. Jaw slimming lasts four to six months because the masseter is a larger muscle. Underarm sweating treatment lasts four to seven months. Repeat sessions at the three-month mark usually need fewer units than the first.
Yes, in a licensed clinic with a board-certified physician. Dysport, Botox, Xeomin, Neuronox, Masport and Dyston are all registered with the Iranian FDA. Check three things: the clinic’s IPD licence, the doctor’s IRIMC number, and that the vial is sealed and opened in front of you. Counterfeit vials carrying real brand names have been reported in Iran, so those checks are not optional.
Yes. Masseter Botox is 25 to 40 units per side and takes two to four weeks to show, slower than the upper face. It also reduces teeth grinding and morning jaw pain. Stop chewing gum daily if you want the result to last.
Look at your face at rest. If the line is only there when you move, it is dynamic and Botox will fix it. If it stays visible when your face is still, it is static and needs volume, which means filler. Many patients need both, and the order is decided at the consultation.
Most Shia and Sunni jurists permit botulinum toxin when it corrects a defect, treats a medical condition, or restores a normal appearance, and when a qualified doctor injects it. Purely decorative enhancement is debated. The product contains no porcine ingredients; it is formulated with human albumin. Practice differs between maraji’, so follow your own marja’s ruling.
First change at day 3 to 5, full effect at day 14. Do not judge the result before then, because asymmetry in the first week is normal and usually evens out. Jaw slimming is slower, at two to four weeks.
Yes. There is no medical reason to delay a flight. Wait at least four hours after the injection so you stay upright during the binding window, and on a long-haul flight try not to sleep face-down. Cabin pressure does not affect the toxin.




Botox Cosmetic (Allergan) is considered the gold standard and most recommended by dermatologists and plastic surgeons globally. But Dysport and Xeomin are also reputable and high-quality brands.
