A
AvionMar 17, 2011

I am trying to get rid of my 11s between my eyebrows. So far I have recieved 50 botox units. 20, then 15 and 15. all a week apart. Things have softened but still have quite a bit of movement. Dr. just keeps telling me that I have strong muscles and havent met my theshold yet. At what point do I just give up? how much is too much?

Long term use of Botox injections will not permanently weaken or paralyze the muscles. The muscle activity will resume and with time, the effect will be as it was prior to the first treatment with Botox.

Botox comes in 50 unit and 200 unit vials.  If only 10 or 20 units are used from a 50 unit vial, the remainder is stored (refrigerated) for a few days. The product is removed with a new sterile needle each time so there is no risk of contamination. Best wishes, Dr.Bruno
