I received 20 units of Botox yesterday. Now I think I may have been cheated, he just wanted to get his $256 and the 20 units he injected were not nearly enough to get "rid" of the moderate/severe "11's" on my forehead. What is the average amount of units needed for this?
Answer: Botox takes several days to start working I can understand your frustration. However, you state that you just had the Botox yesterday. It will take 3 to 7 stays for it to start working and sometimes up to 2 weeks for the final effect. So, please be patient to see the effect.

Answer: Botox takes 2-3 days to START working Thank you for this question.Botox will not start taking effect until about 2-3 days after administration. Having it done "yesterday", you shouldn't expect any change at all. 20 units is a typical amount used to treat the "11" lines. You should expect a great result.- Dr. Bryson Richards

Answer: Botox can range between 15 to 25 units The typical dosage for treating moderate to severe "11" lines or frown lines with Botox can range between 15 to 25 units, depending on the individual's muscle mass and the severity of the lines. While 20 units could be effective for some people, others with more pronounced frown lines might require more to achieve optimal results. It's important to discuss your concerns and expectations with your provider to tailor the treatment to your specific needs. If the initial treatment doesn't provide the desired results, a follow-up appointment can help adjust the dosage.

Answer: Everyone Is Different Hi there,Firstly, the severity of the area needs to be considered…How deep are the lines before treatment, your age, your lifestyle factors, muscle strength, desired outcome, type of Botox used, etc. Usually for the 11’s (procerus and corrugator muscles) an average of 15-20 units is a standard amount. The final results of your Botox may take up to 2-4 weeks. Again, the number of units to be injected has to be determined by an experienced physician/ advanced injector. At our clinic we do invite our clients in for a two week follow up to assess the results and determine if any adjustments are necessary at no additional charge. If for some reason you are unsatisfactory with your results, you need to contact your injector to discuss this with them.

Answer: Botox The standard number of units to treat this area is 20, though this varies by individual needs. I encourage you to be patient as Botox effects typically begin to be seen after 4-7 days with final results after 14 days. The effects will gradually fade over the next 3 to 4 months.

Answer: Botox Units for Frown Lines Everyone is different as to the amount they need depending on the size of the procerus and corregator muscles in the glabella. 20 can be reasonable for someone. while others are good with 12 and others need 30 + if total paralysis is desired. I like some movement myself. Remember also, the day after injection is too soon to know the full effect of botox. Wait until a week after to better gauge. Lastly, completely eliminating lines on first Botox is probably unreasonable. If the lines aren't "etched" in, called dynamic wrinkles (wrinkles that appear when squinting) then Botox can soften these lines. If they are "etched" (ie static glabellar wrinkles), Botox will not help those disappear; filler combined with Botox would be most effective for these. Lastly, unfortunately there are those that give less units then promised. I encourage injections by experts - Dermatologists or Plastic Surgeons who do injections.
