I am 44 and have vertical and horizontal lines on forehead. I did a Groupon for 40 units of Dysport and the Doctor told me it was not enough. So I paid to double it and he wrote down that I had 50 units. How much should I have had? He said I could go back for touch up in 2 weeks, but now I think I didn't have to pay for the extra!
Answer: Be careful with Groupon Please watch the video below. I try to explain some key aspects of the technicalities of using or getting botox. It really does make a difference who is injecting, how much and where it is injected. It is one of those treatments that unfortunately has become a commodity and it really requires a bit more of an artistic finesse approach ini my mind. We use the neuromodulators to target and soften the muscle groups without giving that frozen look. Hope this helps, Best of luck, DrC

CONTACT NOW Answer: Dysport Units The glabella is what we call the vertical lines between the eyebrows. 50 units is adequate to start for the glabella, however, it depends upon the individual patient to really determine how many unit s is sufficient. As for the horizontal forehead lines, they typically require a lower dosage than the glabella. But, many things must be taken into consideration, such as the size of your forehead and the motion of it to accurately estimate the dosage.

Answer: Dysport Units for Glabella and Forehead The two areas you are referring to are the horizontal forehead lines and the vertical glabellar lines (11 lines) between the eyebrows. Each location requires a different dose of neurotoxin, with the glabella typically requiring a higher dose. 40 units of dysport is a very low dose to try and treat both locations. Typically, the glabella will require on average 45-60 units alone, and the forehead another 15-45 units in most women (of course there are exceptions) depending on patient goals, anatomy, muscle strength, etc. This is what I do in most of my patients. Therefore, 40 units of dysport may have been adequate to treat your horizontal forehead lines alone, but without seeing your forehead and how it moves I cannot make an accurate estimate of what dose would have been best for you. Good luck and I hope this answers your question.

Answer: Dysport units for the forehead Each patient is unique, but most patients will require approximately 30 units of Dysport for the horizontal forehead lines and 60 units of Dysport for the vertical lines between the brows (glabella). This will vary from one injector to another, and from one patient to another. It may be affected by how the product is diluted, where the injections are placed, and other factors. Always see an expert physician injector. All the best,

Answer: How many units of Dysport Thank you for your question about Dysport. The amount of units given varies by patient. A typical dose for the "11's" between the eyes is usually around 50 units, give or take a few units. For the horizontal lines on the forehead, and typical dose is around 30 units, plus or minus units depending on the patient (depth of lines and strength of the muscles that need relaxation). I would certainly encourage you to follow up with the injector to verify how many units you had, and express to him/her any concerns. To be sure, see two or more experienced, licensed and board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps.
