Hello. What's the ratio between glabella complex (GC) and frontalis? I've read that GC needs more unit of botox than Frontalis to prevent eyebrows heaviness? For example: if a man ( 35 y.o) doesn't have GC wrinkles, he gets 15 units of Botox to frontalis, so, how many units does he need to GC? Thank you
Answer: Botox Ratio Hi, thank you for your question! Botox is typically dosed as a 2:1 ratio for the glabellar and frontalis muscles. For males this ratio can be different as most male patients are not looking to have an arch in their brows. Male dosing can be a 1:1 ratio. Allergen the maker of botox suggest 64 units total for the whole upper face including the frontalis (20u), glabellar(20u), and crows feet(24u). Botox dosing is different for every patient based on your muscle movement.

Answer: Botox Dosing Hello, and thank you for your question! You are correct - when the frontalis muscles are relaxed they go down. When the glabellar muscles are relaxed they get lifted. You always want to place a higher number of units in the glabellar muscles. Hope this helps!
