How Many Botox Injections for 20 Units?

Thank you for your question! A total 20 units of Botox Cosmetic injected via 4 injections sounds appropriate. The concentration of the solution would be 5 units per 0.1cc. Most plastic surgeons and dermatologist use concentrations of either 2.5 units or 5 units per 0.1cc. There is no cosmetic difference with the concentration. Botox Cosmetic takes a little bit of time before you see results. Wrinkle improvement starts within a few days, with maximum aesthetic rejuventation by 2 weeks after injection. Touchup Botox Cosmetic injections are sometimes needed to achieve the best results. Best of luck!

The number of actual injections you receive is not as important as making sure the person injecting you is well-versed and well-skilled in what the anatomy of the area you are concerned about and about the product itself. We always recommend going to an office where there is a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon and that either they or someone they trained are injecting you. We will ask you to use your muscles in the area of concern, determine where the proper placement for the toxin should be, then inject the proper amount of toxin to the appropriate areas. Sometimes we will use 5 injection points and sometimes 3 or 4 or 6, depending on the need – and then we will inject the appropriate amount of toxin into each site. Sometimes you may need 4-5 units into a certain area and sometimes you may need a little more or a little less – that is why going to the proper injector is key. Find a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon – and enjoy the toxin for what it does to the lines that concern you.
