Average Botox Units to Lower Eyebrows for Young Men?

I was recently told that injecting botox will relax eyebrows enough to flatten the high arches and bring them down to a more rested position. as if to lower them. how many would it take to do so? is it more or less than the amount it takes to bring up an arch?

Botox and brows

It is very difficult to answer your question without first viewing photo's or seeing you in person to assess your specific need. Typically, Botox used in the frontalis or forehead helps to relax that muscle. Only when over-injected does it "drop" the brow causing a flattened brow.

Using Botox to lower or flatten eyebrows

Yes, Botox can be used to do this and could be offered to someone like you who is requesting such an effect. We achieve this by relaxing the forehead muscle all across the forehead to essentially cause the lateral eyebrow to descend. Women on the other hand do not like this look as they are always looking for more arch to the brow. Talk to your dermatologist to voice your concerns.

Average number of Botox for young men and eyebrows

It's hard to say for sure because an accurate estimate can only be given with an in-person consultation. If the issue is that you have a high eyebrow arch, and you want only that section more relaxed, it would probably be somewhere between 5-10 units per side that's needed. In general men have stronger forehead muscles than most women and so more is generally needed.

Botox to lower the eyebrows

Thank you for your question. The arch of the brow is created by the function of the frontalis muscle, which extends across your forehead. The frontalis can be relaxed by treating with Botox, which will flatten and lower your brow. This will remove the arch that you have. The number of units that it will take to accomplish this is variable, but should range from 8-12 units in most cases. An injector with experience should be able to provide this for you.

Men have larger muscles than women and this also applies to facial muscles. The muscle that elevates the eyebrows, called the frontalis, is a fairly broad muscle and 20 units would be a reasonable initial dose. it may have to be adjusted depending on response. A personal consultation with an experienced Botox injector is the best way to determine what your results might be.

Botox Dose (units) in a Young Man

Thank you for this great question. The dosing of Botox is part of the art of this treatment and depends on a variety of factors. These include whether the patient has had Botox before, how large the patient's head/face is, and the strength of the muscles being treated. That said, in general, I use 30 units for glabellar frown lines in a male patient and less (typically 15-20) for the forehead. The danger with forehead treatment is that, with thick or heavy forehead soft tissues, too... more

Botox for lower eyebrows

I agree that this can only be determined by an exam since forehead muscles can differ a lot from person to person. In a male with a strong forehead, it could take a lot more Botox than 4 to 12 units. It may also be that no amount of Botox lowers your brows to the level you desire. To some extent, there will be trial and error adjustments. Based on years of experience, I would expect needing a minimum of 20 units to get noticalbe lowering in a typical male and perhaps... more
