Average Botox Units to Lower Eyebrows for Young Men?

Men have larger muscles than women and this also applies to facial muscles. The muscle that elevates the eyebrows, called the frontalis, is a fairly broad muscle and 20 units would be a reasonable initial dose. it may have to be adjusted depending on response. A personal consultation with an experienced Botox injector is the best way to determine what your results might be.

Thank you for this great question. The dosing of Botox is part of the art of this treatment and depends on a variety of factors. These include whether the patient has had Botox before, how large the patient's head/face is, and the strength of the muscles being treated. That said, in general, I use 30 units for glabellar frown lines in a male patient and less (typically 15-20) for the forehead. The danger with forehead treatment is that, with thick or heavy forehead soft tissues, too much Botox can cause the brow to drop. It is always easier to start with a lower dose and add more after you see the result.
