How much or how many units of Botox for my crows feet, etc? (Photo)

Thank you for your question pnwlover. I understand your concern. Botox
is a purified protein used to address wrinkles associated with facial
expression such as the crows feet seen around the eyes when one smiles. The pivotal studies demonstrated that when 24 units (12 units per side) are used, patients see maximum results at 2 weeks and enjoy their results for 3-4 months. Some people confuse these wrinkles with nasolabial folds that get deeper when one smiles. Nasolabial folds go from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth and some people have parallel radial folds on the cheeks. These are best addressed with fillers and sometimes laser resurfacing. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!

Botox is a wonderful treatment for the crow's feet! It can really soften the lines without changing your smile. You get beautiful natural results if done properly. The recommended amount is 24 units but, as with all cosmetic procedures, this should be customized to help you achieve your best look: some patients need more units, some people need less. This is best assessed during a consultation.As with all cosmetic procedures, the skill of the injector is paramount. Always seek an expert in facial aesthetics, such as a board-certified dermatologist, to maximize results while minimizing side effects.
