How Many Units of Botox is Needed for Entire Eye Area?

The dosing for Botox is variable and based on the desired effect, the amount of current animation, and the strength of the muscles. For new patients, however, the exact dosing is often discovered through a trial and error process. See link below. Some rough guidelines are:Forehead: 16 unitsCrowfeet (around eyes): 8 units per sideGlabella (between eyes): 18 unitsA detailed examination will help delineate your treatment options. Consultation with a surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery would be the next best step.

AS you can see there is great variation and each person's dose needs to be adjusted with time. I intiially start with 6-12 units per side (12-24 units total) at the first session and go up or down from there depending on patient feedback.

In our practice, we usually use about 15-25 units for the crow's feet.  The dosing depends on the patient including the number of lines and strength of facial musculature.
