how many units of botox might need a 50 years old woman for forehead and eye area (crow's feet) and if that together is consider one area or two area. Thank you
Answer: Botox Treatment for the Forehead, Between the Eyebrows, and Crow's Feet Thank you for your question about Botox options. Treatment areas for Botox typically include the forehead, frown lines between your eyebrows (also called the glabella), and crow’s feet. These are all considered separate treatment areas, and your treatment plan for each should be customized to address your specific needs based on muscle strength and severity of wrinkles/expression lines. The FDA recommendation for treatment of the crow’s feet is 12 units per side, but this can vary from patient to patient. Frown lines usually respond well to treatment of 15-25 units, and for forehead lines, 10-15 units. Ultimately a treatment plan should be based on your individual needs, and I recommend a personalized consultation with an experienced and qualified injector to review your options in person. Hope this helps,Nick Slenkovich, MD, FACS

Answer: Everybody is different Please watch the video below. I try to explain some key aspects of the technicalities of using or getting botox. It really does make a difference who is injecting, how much and where it is injected. It is one of those treatments that unfortunately has become a commodity and it really requires a bit more of an artistic finesse approach in my mind.

Answer: Clinical Evaluation Of Dosing Of Botox For The Facial Mimetic Muscles The determination of not only how many units of Botox to employ, but the location and pattern in which to inject, them must be made after a careful examination of the patient in person. There is a surprising degree of variability in the anatomy and dimensions of the muscles of facial expression from patient to patient, as well as the patterns of wrinkling they produce in the skin. With this caveat said, I will tell you that in our clinic, we generally use about 15 to 20 units of botox to treat the wrinkles of the glabellar region (the so called "11" lines); 5 units to treat the "bunny lines", i.e., the wrinkles that form when a patient scrunches up her nose; 10-20 units to treat the medial and lateral infrabrow regions, as well as the entire expanse of the forehead from the hairline to about one centimeter above the eyebrows; and 10 units to treat the "crow's feet", i.e., the wrinkles that appear lateral and inferolateral to the eyes when a patient smiles. The above list covers just a fraction of the different locations and muscle groups on the face and neck that we can treat with Botox in our practice. Once again, it must be emphasized that the dosages and locations of Botox administered can vary dramatically, depending on whether one is treating a male or a female, the age of the patient, the ethnicity of the patient, the degree of sun exposure and general health of the patient's skin, and a myriad of other factors. It is always best to allow an experienced practitioner to take all of these factors into account over the course of a careful clinical evaluation of a potential patient.
