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: Botox Injections Great question! Botox is typically priced per unit and the number of units needed varies from person to person. Some offices price Botox per area, but patients run the risk of paying for product that they don’t need. By pricing it per unit, patients only end up paying for the Botox needed to get their desired result and the physician can completely customize the treatment based on the patient’s individual needs. The amount of Botox required to treat a particular area can differ depending on the size and depth of the wrinkles being injected. I recommend scheduling a consultation with a board certified facial plastic surgeon who can meet you in person and determine exactly how many units they recommend for you. Best of luck!

Answer: Great question Ifed,That's a great question. Glabellar folds respond very well to botox. Some offices charge you by the "unit" which is for every 1/100th of that vial. I don't like that system for it makes you stress about how much you're using and you may not get the treatment you need. We treat you to your satisfaction. Meaning, if glabellar folds are the issue, we charge you to treat those regardless of how much botox is used.

Answer: How much of a vial of Botox is used per procedure? Thank you for your question. Botox comes in vials of 50 and 100 units. If you are only having the glabella area treated, we typically start with between 15-20 units of Botox depending on the patient. Many patients have other areas treated with Botox at the same time. I hope this helps.

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!
