How Many Units of Botox® Do I Need?
Botox® can treat lines and wrinkles on different areas of the face. But how many units of Botox® do you need to treat your skin concerns and have a smoother complexion?
What is Botox®?
Botox® is an injectable treatment that relaxes the muscles underneath the skin to prevent fine lines and wrinkles caused by facial expressions. Made from Botulinum toxin type A, Botox® is one of the most commonly used treatments for wrinkles.
How Many Units of Botox® Do I Need?
How many units of Botox® you need depends on where the area of treatment is. Generally, the number of units is between 10-50 per injection. As for the injections themselves, one of our trained medical professionals will inject somewhere between 3-5 injections per treatment site.
How Long Do the Effects of Botox® Last?
How long the effects of Botox® last can depend on how your body absorbs the injections over time, but the results of the injections can last 3-6 months.

Is There Any Downtime with Botox®?
Botox® is often called a “lunch break” procedure because the treatment can take an hour or less. While Botox® does not have downtime, socially you may want to have some downtime due to the redness and sensitivity at the injection site.
Benefits of Botox®
The overarching benefit of Botox® injections is that they are a non-surgical alternative to treating wrinkles. Other benefits can include:
-
- Quickly smoothes lines and wrinkles
- Can treat various facial areas of concern such as crow’s feet and marionette lines
- Safe and highly effective
