Male Wanting A Botox Browlift- 4 Days and No Results (photo)
I have had 5 units of Botox to lift my brow, so that my eyelids will look lifted, do men have resistant brows?. It is day 4 and I cannot see any difference. When, will at all, I see a result?, or am I wasting my time. When can it be done again, and how many units do I need ?

Botox browlift in a man
Firstly, I would wait 2 weeks after any Botox injection before deciding if more is required. 5 units for a male is not a lot to lift the eyelids, so you may need more. At the same time, sometimes a surgical lift is required. Make sure to have your injections performed by a highly trained and experienced physician such as a dermatologist for optimal results. ~ Dr. Benjamin Barankin, Toronto Dermatology Centre.

Botox Browlift
5 units is usually not enough to elevate the brows. However, wait a full two weeks for maximum effect. If your are still not satisfied, seek more treatment. Botox done correctly is a very satisfactory treatment for this condition.

5 units is far below what it takes to treat the brow muslces
The starting amount for treating the glabella which is that area between and just above the eyebrows is 20-25 units. Men can sometimes need more due to stronger and larger muscles. The results are seen within 3-5 days and you will usually see the full effect at about 10-14 days. You can visit the website for the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery or the American Society of Plastic Surgeons to find a provider in your area.

Allow 10 Days for Maximum Results When Using Botox
Maximum effect may take up to ten days when using Botox. However, depending upon the reconstitution ration, 5 units may not be enough. Most offices offer a 'touch up' service at a discounted price. I recommend contacting the office you were treated at for further recommendation.

Botox brow lift
Five units is a subclinical dosage to achieve an improvement. Generally, I would use a minimum of 4-6 units per side. Without examining the degree of ptosis in your brows, one cannot reach a definitive conclusion as to whether Botox is the appropriate treatment. Also, I advise patience. Botox can take a bit longer to act and, if the treatment was insufficient, additional therapy can be undertaken.

Brow Lift with Botox for Men
Despite the photo, it does not demonstrate before/after results in order for this to be a tool in providing feedback. However, receiving only 5 units total is considered, in our opinion, under dosing. Typically, we inject 5 units EACH side of the tail of the eybrow in addition to 20 units (average) between the eyebrows to obtain an inner and outer brow lift of the brows.
A common misunderstanding is that a 'brow lift" involves dosing the forehead. ...

Botox and brow
At four days after botox injection, it is a bit early to see results. usuallt the Botox kicks in within about a week. Sometimes a bit longer. I usually have people follow-up in two weeks to see what the result is.

5 units of BOTOX is a very small dose.
I would advise you to lower your expectations. You received a very small dose of BOTOX. I do not think your injecting physician knows what they are doing. You might try a different injector. Also look at my website to learn about the microdroplet BOTOX forehead lift.

Botox Browlift- 4 Days and No Results
Assuming the Botox was not dilute and active (not expired), 5 units may be too small a dose to weaken the depressor portion of the Orbicularis Oculi muscle which anchors down the lateral side of the brow. If you do not see a gentle elevation in a week or so, I would have your physician (hopefully) place more Botox in the area.

5 units of Botox
NOT ENOUGH was used to effect a brow elevation. Return for 10 units more at least that amount. I use 10 to 20 units for this elevated brow result. Return NOW!

Botox Browlift
Thanks for posting a picture. It would be better to see a before picture as well. When you are discussing Botox, it is also important to see pictures when you are animating your brows (lifting and lowering) to see the muscle effect. That said, 5 units of Botox is a drop in the bucket. I am not sure what you discussed with your injector, so it is difficult to comment specifically. Also, you may want to consider other treatments as well. In my opinion to get...

Botox for eyebrow lift
My average dose in women for an eyebrow lift is 15 units and men may take more. It takes a full 2 weeks to see results. After two weeks you can add more to the tail of the brow and the media brow depressors. Make sure you have an experienced injector. It worries me if they told you 5 units would make a substantial difference.

Botox For Male Browlift
Experience with Botox has shown that men typically need larger quantities than women to produce a therapeutic effect, mainly because our muscles are larger (even in the face). In most cases, 5 units would not be enough to lift the brow for a patient of either sex. The recommended dose would be somewhere in the 20-30 unit range. With regard to results, fortunate patients may have a visible response as early as 3 days, however in some cases it may...

Botox Brow lift
Give it more time! I usually tell my patients that the full effects of Botox may not kick in for 2 weeks. After that we assess the situation and add more if needed. You may need to add Botox to the area in between your brows ( the frown lines) which will help to elevate your lateral brow as well. Do not inject over the lateral brow as that will actually lower your brow not raise it. I would not do anything more for at least 2 weeks though!

Botox can offer a nice lift of the brow
It takes about 2 weeks to see the complete results from botox treatments. I would wait the two weeks and then re-visit the doctor at that time to see if you need more for optimal results.

5 units of Botox is way too little to make any difference-you need at least 20-25 units to see any changes-it takes 4-7 days for Botox to manifest itself

Botox will not raise your eyelid
When Botox is injected into the muscles that depress the brow, the brow may go up a little, but not always. It will not go up enough to elevate your eyelids. 5 units of Botox is also such a minimal amount that I double that you well see any change.
