Depending on how many different areas of the face a patient is interested in treating, the amount of Botox required can vary drastically. This, coupled with the following characteristics, will help determine exactly how many units of Botox you need in order to achieve the end-result you want.
The picture above can provide you with a general idea of how much Botox is required per facial area.
- Aesthetic Goals: Some people prefer a completely “frozen” result, while others like to maintain movement in a minimized capacity.
- Muscle Strengths: Someone with stronger forehead muscles requires more Botox to quiet the muscle movements than a person with weaker forehead muscles.
- Pre-Existing Situations: The more prevalent and deep-set a patient’s current wrinkles are, the more product will be required to erase them.
- Different Face Shapes and Sizes: A patient a larger forehead will require more units of Botox to halt motion than a person with a smaller forehead.
- Metabolism: The length of time Botox results last are dependent on how quickly each patient metabolizes the product. The faster a person’s metabolism, the more frequently patients will require treatment.
