Q Do I need this many units for my first time? (Photo)

Thank you for your question MeganLewis1101. The best assessment can be done in person when I can see your muscle strength and amount of movement. Based on your photos and the fact that you say this is a first time treatment where you are wanting a natural look, I would recommend 20 units in your glabella (frown lines), no more than 10 units across your forehead (frontalis) and 4-6 total units in your bunny lines. Something else you may want to consider is to have your lateral brows treated, it give such a soft well rested look when your brows slightly arch.
My recommendation for tear trough filler is definitely traditional Restylane. You will have a much longer duration and a very natural look. Creams can be a temporary fix, but typically there is an appearance of discoloration because of an area that is void of bone or fat (a process that naturally happens as we age). A filler in this area is the best choice to treat your concerns.
