How Do I Know How Much Botox I Need?

How much Botox/ Dysport do you need? Both products come in “units”. You need a certain number of “units” injected into an area to get the best result.

Typically, men need more units in an area than women- they have stronger and larger facial muscles.

Any individual needs more units injected into stronger muscles, such as the glabella/ the area between the eyebrows. The average patient needs fewer “units” in the forehead and crow’s feet areas.

If you want to look slightly more natural, you need fewer units. If you want the area not to move at all, then you will need more units.

Also, knowing how many units you need is important in case you want to switch injectors. The person who is injecting you should be able to tell you how many “units” you received. If you move, you can tell your new injector how many “units” you’ve had in the past, so you will get the same results.

FYI, 1 vial of Botox has 100 units. Perhaps a great Trivial Pursuit question?
