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: Botox Most of my patients say that they notice best results when they have their subsequent treatments within 3-6 months. If you choose to wait 6-12 months, you may not achieve the best results possible. It can take up to 10 days to see the full effect of Botox. If you do have any lines remaining after a treatment, you may want to consider a chemical or laser peel in conjunction with Botox treatments. They may have put 12 because they didnt think it would need more.

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.
