I received 20 units of Botox on my forehead 14 days ago. I still have total use of my forehead muscles and the wrinkles are still prevalent. I contacted the place I went and they said that I need more, possibly 20 more. Does this sound right?

Answer: It may very well be that you paid for 20 units but didn't get it or you could be resistant. When Botox doesn't work despite being given in the recommended usage there are two basic possibilities: You could be resistant to the effects of it or the Botox you received may NOT have been as described. There are many places that advertise 'cheap' Botox and give a very inexpensive price per unit. That often leads them to consider diluting it. Alternatively, you may just be resistant to the effects.If we have a situation where the normal amount of Botox or Dysport doesn't work (and that clearly does happen), we would either consider more of it or consider switching from one to another (so consider Dysport next time). Best of luck!

Answer: Is 40 units of Botox a lot for the forehead? In most cases, I would say around 20 units of Botox is what I normally would use to treat the lines across the forehead. Some people do need more however to obtain the desired effect. If you had absolutely no effect from the first 20 units to your forehead, I would be hesitant to try more. If you had some effect from the first 20 units, I would think that adding more would help with the movement you are still seeing. An examination of you would be needed to try and determine how much more Botox I would recommend.
