Our facial wrinkles landed layer by layer, after many years of expressing. Some might say we should wear them like a badge of honor. They’re evidence of our life experiences, both good and bad. All the smiles and all the scowls that have made us who we are today…. . Yeah, no. We have Facebook and Instagram for that. Bring on the Botox!
If you ‘re just starting to consider treating wrinkles with neurotoxin, you’ve probably got a lot of questions. The most common being, HOW MUCH OF IT GOES WHERE?
Of course different practitioners will have slightly different approaches depending on the features and wish lists of each individual. The general breakdown of units per area is as follows:
There are many different factors that determine how much neurotoxin is required to achieve the desired result. Some of these factors include:
Now let’s talk DURATION. Unfortunately, neurotoxins don’t last forever. Eventually the paralysis wears off and the nerves are again able to signal the muscles to start contracting. Generally, treatments last 3-4 months. Some lucky patients enjoy 4-6 months of wrinkle-free skin, while others may only get 2 months out of an injection. Men tend to require more frequent treatments. It’s also common for first-time patients to notice their movement returning sooner than subsequent treatments.
