Botox units injected for "11"

Steven Hacker, MD answers: How many Botox units for 11's or frown lines?

I received 20 units of Botox yesterday. Now I think I may have been cheated, he just wanted to get his $256 and the 20 units he injected were not nearly enough to get "rid" of the moderate/severe "11's" on my forehead. What is the average amount of units needed for this?

Every person, male and female, may require a slightly different amount of Botox to their glabella ("11 sign").

In general, however, I use 20-24 units, and we get consistently excellent results.

My fees are higher than what you paid so I think if you received 20 units for that price, you were treated appropriately and you were not overcharged.
