Botox treatment for horizontal forehead wrinkles and frown lines

Forehead treatment:

• Horizontal "worry" lines
• Usually requires 8-16 units of Botox
• Blended w/ glabella lines below
   

Glabella treatment:

• Vertical "11" or frown lines
• Usually requires 16-24 units of Botox
• Blended w/ forehead above & bunny lines below

The amount of Botox injected in that area is normally around 20 units.  I would hope the doctor explained to you that the affect doesn't occur for at least 4 days and even sometimes 7 days.  Botox works by blocking the receptors in the muscle, so it doesn't respond or contract.  These receptors need at least 4 days to bind to the Botox.

Just be patient, and you should see a result in a few days.  If after 7-10 days, it doesn't look better, call the doctor for a touch up.
