I am 29 years old. I tend to frown a lot so I decided to start Botox. I started w/ 15 units. Def made a difference but I still noticed frown lines. I saw my Doctor & told her about the issue & went to 20 units. I still need more! Also, when I first wake up in the morning, the frown line creases are so intense! How am I frowning so much in my sleep? They are very deep in the morning. Not very narrow, they lean a little toward the left. Should I switch Doctors or increases to 30units?
