I get a little confused how much units to wear to an area. how much units it is a 0,1ml dash. some say 5 units and others say 1 units. how do you figure out the units right and get the right dosage?
Answer: Botox Units This is tough question to answer because everyone has different facial muscle structures and need different amount of botox depending on the area being treated. But, to provide you with an answer, generally speaking, the frown lines need 15-20 units, forehead needs 8-16 units, and the crows feet need 12-20 units.

Answer: Botox Units are confusing Irrespective of the dilution used, most practitioners agree that botox should deliver 2.5 units per injection site. In my office, we talk about treatment points, not units. Customized botox strategies could involve full or half shots, in order to have different effects. The density of shots per area injected, as well as the underlying bulk of the muscle that is targeted ultimately determines how many units are needed in order to see a clinical effect (wrinkle reduction). I find units to be entirely useless as a point of measuring treatments. I suggest treatment points or # of shots as a better strategy for evaluating 'how much.'

Answer: Botox dosing I would recommend leaving decisions on correct dosage of neuromodulators such as Botox, dysport or Xeomin to the physician who will be performing your injections.There is no absolute right or wrong answer but deciding how much medication to give requires significant expertise and judgment

Answer: Botox Dilution. Thank you for your question. The injector typically evaluates the dosage per patient. Therefore, the dosage per patient is individual. The injector will dilute the vial of Botox with saline, allowing for 0.1 ml to equal a varying number of units depending on the ratio.Best,
