How many units of Botox approximately?

Thank you for your
question.The amount of botox needed varies with every patient. Starting with 20 units is common, although more units maybe needed to achieve your goals. To be sure what is best for you, see two
or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to
make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have
treatment.

I hope this helps.

The average dosing is 20-24U but I have treated people with as little as 10/15 to as much as 60U.  It all depends on the muscle strength, size, male or female and anticipated results (ie brow lifting or just 11 lines). I suggest you see a well trained doctor.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Botox, Dysport, and Xeoman are commonly injected to the corrugators to freeze them to prevent the 11 lines between the eyes.  The dosing in the area depends on a few factors:1)  Strength of the muscles2)  Man vs a woman3)  Aging stage of the patientMale patients with stronger muscles with more advance stages of aging will need more than a female patient with weak muslces at early stages of aging.  While answers to Botox may seem simple, there are many variables that need to be taken into accound.  The range of Botox I use in my practice in the corregators is 15-35 units.  The average patient will require 20 units.I hope this helps.   

Thank you for your question.  The amount of Botox needed to achieve your desired appearance will depend on trial and error at a few dosages, depending on the thickness and size of your muscle and how the muscle ends up responding to Botox. On average, I would say between 12 and 18 units would be the most commonly used for the area between the brows.  

The amount of Botox needed to treat a given area can vary by patient.  Some need more and others need less.  The usual amount I would use for the corrugator muscles would be about 20 units.  I have used as little as 10 units in some people who do not need as much. If you are just beginning to see a crease form, it is possible that you would not need 20 units and 10 might be fine.
