I'm 33 and got my first ever Botox injection for glabellar lines 13 days ago. The doctor I went to said he usually uses 25 units so I presume that's what he actually gave! He told me top-ups were free if I wasn't happy with the effect 5 days later. It definitely made it harder to frown but there's a tiny twitch of movement left. Difficult to even see if lighting is poor. I suspect there might be a bit more when I frown unconsciously. Should I go back for more or is this an acceptable result?

Answer: Botox Results
Your result with Botox, and any cosmetic procedure for that matter, is a personal preference. I assume you discussed your individual goals with your doctor before he or she recommended 25 units? This is a pretty typical dose in this area. Some patients do not want to be frozen completely, others do...personal preference. If you feel you need additional dosing, go for it. I individualize dosing for each patient and do not offer "areas" for a certain price....dosing patients in my office depends on your goals, the amount of movement I see and the goals we discuss. Talk to your doctor.
Good Luck!

Answer: Wait two weeks to three for full Botox effect
I would not suggest having any more Botox now unless the muscle movement is easily seen and two to three weeks have passed for maximal effect of the onset of action of Botox injections.

Answer: Your final result from Botox will be evident around 10 days after your treatment.
25u Botox is a good dose for glabella wrinkles. You should wait another 5 days to judge your result. Make a follow-up with your doctor in 5 days and you'll both decide whether a dose adjustment is necessary.
All the best from NJ.
