Botox is the world’s most popular cosmetic treatment. It is used to treat wrinkles, lines, and other signs of aging. But when it comes to Botox, how much do you need? To help you make an informed decision, let’s dive into the basics of Botox dosage so that you can get the most out of your treatment.

The Amount of Botox Depends on the Area Being Treated
When it comes to figuring out how many units of Botox you need per area, it all depends on the size and location of the area being treated. For instance, if you are looking to soften wrinkles or lines on your forehead, then typically, 20 units are required. If you are looking to reduce crow’s feet around your eyes, then typically, 6 – 12 units per side will do the trick. And for treating deeper wrinkles and lines in your lower face, such as around your mouth or chin, then 20-30 units may be necessary.

The best way to decide how many units of Botox is needed is to follow the guidelines laid out by the manufacturer of the product being used. Allergan, the makers of Botox recommends providers used 64 units of Botox to treat the upper face which includes the forehead, glabella, and crow’s feet. They suggest this amount based on the number of Botox units used during their clinical trials.

It’s All About Balance

When it comes to administering Botox injections for cosmetic purposes, it is all about balance. Too little Botox won’t give you the desired results while too much can lead to a “frozen” look that isn’t attractive. That being said, when choosing a provider for your injectable treatments, make sure they are experienced and knowledgeable so that they know how much product will give you the best results without making you look unnatural or overdone.
