Botox injections. 50 units for between brows? (Photo)

Thank you for your question.I would ask what product the doctor is injecting. In my experience some clinicians who use Dysport typically use 50 or more units in a treatment area. If they are using Botox it should take a max of 25 units.  Is this a board certified PS? Good luck.

I agree with you in that to treat the Glabellar area typically requires 17.5 to perhaps a maximum of 27.5 units. You can use the other units elsewhere but I cannot imagine more than that amount in that area.

Hello ~ In general the area that you want treated should take 20-25 units of botox. If your injector is using another product, Dysport, it could take 5-60 units. It would be a good idea to clarify which neurotoxin is being used. Good Luck!

Is it Botox or Dysport that your injector is using? They are different and require different units to achieve result.  Using a groupon for a neurotoxin is not a good idea.  I would consult with a board certified PS/derm.

Thank you for your question and photographs.  50 units of Botox cosmetic to treat only the glabella for the "11s" you are concerned with does seem to be quite a large dose.  Be careful to select an injector who is experienced and certified to perform any injectable procedure.  Best of luck.

Using Botox for treating the "11s" or the "1" as you describe, should be adequately treated with 20 U of botox.  50 U seems excessive. However, if you are treating any other areas, you may utilize a full 50 units.  In general, groupon is not a great way to seek medical treatments...
