I had Botox for the first time in my glabella region yesterday. I am only 25 and don't have wrinkles, just a slight vertical line on my left eyebrow which is somedays more noticeable than others. Why did the doctor only recommend 12 Units? She said alternatively she could do more along brow line (she only did there injections on middle and inner eyebrow corners after viewing progress. Is this normal? I've seen everyone else get 20-25 on here! Thank you.

Answer: 12 units for the 11s Thank you for your question and for sharing your experience with us. I normally start with 20 units of Botox for the average patient as this provides a very reasonable response. I will increase the dose if I noticed someone has a very strong muscular show. In addition, I will use less if they have a very weak muscular show or still have some activity from a previous Botox treatment. In your situation, your injector may have wanted to just treat the one line that you have. If you find that you are still able to frown and create that line, and you may want to go back and have additional units placed more laterally.

Answer: 12 units of Botox for glabella While I would say a typical dose of Botox may be around 20-25 units for the glabella, everyone is different so some people may still obtain a good result with a lower dose. I have used as little as 10 units to treat the glabella in some people and this frequently can work well in the correct patient. You can always add more but you cannot reduce it once it is injected.
