This is one of the most common questions we get — and it’s a great one.
Here’s the honest answer:
There’s no single “right” number of units for everyone.
While manufacturers provide general starting guidelines for each area, Botox dosing is not one-size-fits-all. The number of units used depends on:
✨ Your unique facial anatomy
✨ Muscle strength and movement patterns
✨ Whether you prefer fully relaxed muscles or a more natural, preventative look
✨ Your personal aesthetic goals
In our practice, we don’t inject based on a preset number. We assess how your muscles move and recommend units accordingly — always with transparency and intention.
Some patients want maximum smoothing.
Others want subtle softening while still expressing emotion.
Both are valid — and both require different dosing.
✨ Thoughtful dosing = natural results ✨
And that’s always the goal.
