    Let’s face facts — for many New Yorkers, Botox is now an essential part of one’s regular beauty routine.

    But how much a facial sculpting fanatic will spend on the cosmetic treatments in a lifetime varies greatly depending on which borough they’re in, a recent analysis conducted by Certainly Health and shared with The Post revealed.

    “When it comes to getting Botox treatment, our research shows that price can vary massively depending on a number of factors, including where you live, creating somewhat of a location lottery when it comes to treatment cost,” Dr. Randa Jaafar, owner of FILD Studio in Manhattan and partner with Certainly Health, said in a statement to The Post.

    No surprise — it wouldn’t show on their faces anyway — that those who get their Botox done in Manhattan spend the most, compared to people who get injected in the other boroughs.

    In Manhattan, you’ll spend $662.20 on average for a treatment — adding up to a whopping $52,976.24 in a lifetime.

    While still relatively high, the average price over in Brooklyn is $562.86, with a lifetime cost of $45,028.57.

    The Bronx and Queens offer significantly more affordable options, with average prices of $485.00 and $480.63, respectively, resulting in lifetime costs of around $38,800.00.

    Budget-friendly beauty fanatics, however, should consider booking their Botox appointments in Staten Island.

    In the Forgotten Borough, the average price of a treatment is $453.33, with a lifetime cost of $36,266.67.

    Hopping the ferry can save the cost conscious almost a third (32%) in their lifetime — the island might become a bit more memorable now.

    Then again, chasing the cheapest jabs shouldn’t be your first priority, the pros say.

    “While cost does matter when it comes to getting Botox, the most important considerations are the clinic and practitioner reviews, before-and-after galleries showing real results, and the rapport you have with the practitioners,” Dr. Jaafar noted.

    “It is important to do your due diligence and be wary of practitioners offering treatments at suspiciously low prices, as this could reflect a lack of skill or experience.

    “However, if you’ve thoroughly researched the clinic, and it meets the above criteria; who administers your injections and how much they charge shouldn’t be the only deciding factors,” the doc said.

    Botulinum Toxin — commonly referred to by the brand name Botox — is generally safe but could lead to side effects and complications including bruising and pain, flu-like symptoms, headache, nausea, redness and temporary facial weakness or drooping.

    It’s also expediting the aging process for some Gen Z overusers .

    Starting too young can alter the appearance of certain facial features and make 20-somethings appear decades older than they really are, experts say.

    The “‘Love Island’ effect,” for instance, was a cheeky term coined by fans of the reality series to reference the cast’s cosmetic procedures that made them appear much more mature than they were.

    “There’s been a dramatic shift from people viewing these things as a form of cosmetic surgery or a medical thing to a form of grooming,” celebrity cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Paul Jarrod Frank, founder of Manhattan’s PFRANKMD, previously told The Post .

    “People look at it as a form of grooming, like getting their hair done, like getting their nails done.”

    Now, there’s an “overwhelming normalization that it’s OK to do things cosmetic,” he added — and New Yorkers seem to agree.

    And it goes deeper than face value. People are now getting Botox injected all over their bodies — Butt-tox is NYC’s boldest new beauty treatment for those striving to be booty-ful.
