Botox for 11's
I typically use a bit more than 11 units in this area but I would recommend that you wait a full two weeks and then return to your provider so that you may discuss the results and any need for additional product.

Botox for the glabella
In general, I use around 20 units for the Glabella. Botox can take one to two weeks to take effect. If you still do not see a result, I would recommend speaking with your physician, as you may benefit from a touch up. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

Have patience. It takes about 2 weeks to see how much of an effect your Botox injections will have on your frown lines. If there isn't much of an improvement at that point, you can always have more added.

Botox For 11 Lines
Most neuromodulators have their peak effect at 2 weeks, so I typically encourage my patients to wait a full 2 weeks before adding more. Depending on the strength of the muscles, I have seen complete relaxation of the 11's with as little as 12 units, but most patient typically need 18-30 units for complete relaxation. I'd follow up with your treating physician at 2 weeks for re-evaluation.

Wait 12 days to see your full Botox effect.
It takes about 12 days to see the full effect of your Botox treatment. If you feel you have too much movement at that time, please return to your injector for assessment and perhaps more Botox. It is preferable to add more Botox than to have had too much injected and your doctor will know how much to inject next time.

For your 11's, 11 units is most likely not enough of Botox
For females, my dosing for Botox is between 15 and 30, with most getting 20 or 30units. This area, known as the glabella, is also my most common area treated. It will usually take about 3-5 days to see a result, and about 10 days for the full result.

Customize Botox Dose
Since Botox is expensive, you want to use the smallest effective dose. Your doctor would usually start with the average 16 to 20 units for frown lines. Expect full effect by about seven days. If it is still only partially effective, return to your doctor and he or she will give additional Botox. In this way you and your doctor will learn what is the total effective dose for you. That dose can be used for all future treatments.

11 Units of Botox for the brow?
Not enough. Even the FDA guidelines for glabellar injections are focused on 20 units which I have found is the minimal necessary to relax the glabellar muscles. For people with strong glabellar muscles(particuarly men) even more will be necessary to control movement and provide a reasonable lenght of time for long term relaxation. Under botoxing an area often results in more rapid return to motion in only a couple months. Remember, it is all about placement and dosing...

Botox for the '11' lines
Botox is injected in this area very frequently anda the effect can take place within several days to a week at most. The # of units injected seems little but the good thing is that you can get more injected in 7-10 days if you feel it was not effective

Botox Unit Dose to Treat the Frown 11's
Thank you for your question. 11 units of Botox to treat the frown 11's is not sufficient to effectively relax the muscles in this area and cause the lines to be significantly reduced. A typical dose of Botox used in the frown area is 15 to 20 units, in some cases slightly more.

Botox Under-dosed
Thank you for your question. Eleven units for the 11 frown lines is far below the average dose. There are isolated situations where this dosing would be appropriate, but it is not the norm. This will likely result in incomplete correction, short longevity, and delayed onset of results. Botox has become commoditized with non-expert injectors entering the field. This results in inadequate treatments primarily for marketing or financial considerations rather than clinical ones...

11 units of Botox for frown lines
While I would say the typical amount of Botox used to treat the frown lines (11's) is more like twice the amount you received, I have treated some people before with only 10 units and have seen good results. Botox treatments are individualized, so people that have fairly minimal frown lines may not need as much as someone else with a stronger furrow. As was mentioned, it can take a week or two to see the full effect, so I would wait a bit longer before returning for a possible...

Appropriate Botox dosage to treat glabella
15-25 is a typical dose. However, you may still see some effect with 11 units. Most patients see full results at 1 week, but others may take up to 2 weeks. Wait another week, and if you still see no change, it will be safe at that point to go for a touch up.

Botox and "11's"
Botox is used for the glabella lines which are commonly referred to as "11's" - every provider uses a different concentration of Botox, so it's difficult to know what your treatment consisted of. It can take up to two weeks to see results.

Number of Botox units between the eyes
Are you sure that only 11 units were used? I've never heard of using this number and I don't know why it would be such a seemingly odd number of units for this area. For the 11s the most common amount is somewhere between 20-25 units.
