Botox for Frown Lines - How Many Units Are Normal?

Botox units are just a measure of the Botox delivered.  Every person requires slightly different amounts.  The number of syringes is not an accurate measure since the Botox is diluted in saline to any volume necessary.  So there could be more Botox in one syringe of a doctor then 3 syringes from another doctor - depending on how much they dilute the Botox.  Most patients start out around 50 units for their first treatment.  The effects are then observed and the treatments are fine tuned on subsequent treatments.  46 units just for your forehead is a little high to start with, but if they would also treating the area between your eyebrows, your glabella, they it sounds like they got it just about right.  Hopefully you are happy with your results.  Good luck.

For frown lines between the brow, I use between 20 - 25 units depending on the facial anatomy. If you have lines on the forehead, it may take up to 40 units for both area. Our price is based on dollar per unit, so you know exactly what you are getting and paying for per unit.
