Hello, 38-year-old female here. I've been getting botox on my 11 (frown marks) for nearly 10 years, and on my crows feet more recently. Now I'm starting to get horizontal lines on my forehead that could be improved. I do, however, want to avoid looking like a windshield. My great fear: the big, shiny, immobile forehead. I want just the teensy tiniest amount of Botox on these horizontal lines, especially if it would be combined with the 16 units for the 11s. What's the least amount to request?

Answer: Botox/Xeomin/Dysport Results for Forehead Wrinkles--Results last 3-4 months This is difficult to answer without pictures. Generally 20-25 units is needed for the forehead. Botox results last 3-4 months. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Botox on the forehead typically doesn't take many units Most of my patients want their forehead to look natural after Botox. If too much Botox is given the forehead may start to look a little shiny (but that really takes many months of treatment to get there), but more importantly the brow may droop and become heavy making the patient look angry. The nice thing with Botox is that you can always add more if a small amount doesn't give the desired effect. You could consider starting with 6 units injected high on the forehead and see what kind of improvement that gives you. If you didn't think it does enough you could always go back in a few weeks and have a little more. I find it's better to do that with a new patient than giving them too much and having to wait 3 months for it to wear off. Don't forget that treatment with Botox is a process. The longer you get it the nicer the results. So if you keep up with treatments every 3 months your results should get better and better. I hope this helps. Best of luck.
