How many units of Botox for my forehead?

Thank you for your
question in regards to Botox. Units can vary depeneding on the goals you want to achieve. Typically 16-20 units are recomened. To be sure what is best for you, see two
or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to
make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have
treatment.I hope this helps.

The dosing for Botox is variable and based on the desired effect, the amount of current animation, and the strength of the muscles. See link below. Some rough guidelines are:Forehead: 16 unitsCrowfeet: 8 units per sideGlabella: 18 unitsA conservative starting dose in a person who responds unusually well to Botox would be to half the normal dose at the initial treatment (8 units). Additional Botox can always be added at a later visit for more effect. Consultation with a surgeon certified by the
American Board of Plastic Surgery would be the next best step.

Thank you for your question. Without and in person examination it is difficult to provide an accurate answer. If you had an injector provide you with a satisfactory treatment to your glabella, your forehead should be no different after explaining what you want. Best, 

Thank you for your question. The standard Botox dose is 20 units per area. Given that you only require 10 units in the glabella, I would start with 8-10 units in the forehead. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon who commonly performs this procedure. Hope this helps and good luck! 

Thank you for your question! Botox Cosmetic is a medication that should be customized to the specific needs of the dynamic wrinkling of your face. A patient really must be seen in office before an exact recommendation of medication can be given. You should also always be able to discuss a treatment pathway with your physician, or medical professional before committing to the procedure. I hope this helps!Be well,Dr. Hobgood
