I have a clarification question, and I'd like some input from some doctors out there: Botox comes in 100 unit vials. Let's say that one procedure consists of one or more injections at one injection site, say, the glabellar folds. What I'm trying to understand, is how much of that 100 unit vial you'd use for one procedure, on average? Thanks!

Answer: How much of a vial of Botox used per procedure? The amount of Botox needed for a treatment can vary by the individual. Some people need less and some need more. For treating the glabella, I would say the average amount used would be around 20 units. Some people have multiple areas treated, so more would be needed in those instances.

Answer: Most Botox vials are either 50 or 100 units therefore it is not uncommon to use the same vial for more than one patient. Thank you for your question. Most Botox vials are either 50 or 100 units therefore it is not uncommon to use the same vial for more than one patient. However, the top of the vial should be sterilized with alcohol and change needles for each syringe. It is common to use a different needle for withdrawing the Botox than for injecting. If you have any concerns please discuss with your injector. Best of Luck!
