Units are a standardized dosing measure used by providers to plan a safe, balanced, and effective result. The total number of units needed is unique to each individual and their aesthetic goals:

• Units are individualized: Your provider tailors the dose to your specific needs, muscle strength, and desired natural look.
• "Per side" matters: Some areas, like crow's feet or jawline, are treated on both sides of the face, meaning the total units may be split across two areas.
• Consultation first: Your injector confirms the best plan for symmetry, safety, and natural results during your personalized consultation.

Common treatment areas (typical ranges may include):

• Eyebrow lift: 2–5 units (per side)
• Forehead lines: 4–16 units
• "11s" frown lines: 10–30 units
• Crow's feet: 8–12 units (per side)
• Nasalis lines: 6–10 units
• Upper lip (lip flip): 4–8 units
• Smile lift: 3–6 units
• Jawline: 10–30 units (per side)

These ranges are educational estimates to help you understand common dosing. Your exact treatment plan will be determined and confirmed by a licensed provider during your consultation to achieve your desired outcome safely.

Wrinkle-reducing cosmetic injectable treatments are designed to temporarily relax targeted facial muscles, which helps to soften the appearance of fine lines and expression wrinkles. This approach aims for a subtle refinement, ensuring natural facial movements are preserved and you still look like yourself, just refreshed. The effects typically begin to appear within a few days, with full results often visible in about two weeks, and can last for several months.

To help prepare for your appointment, it is often recommended to avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications or supplements for 24-48 hours prior to your visit, if approved by your doctor. Arrive with clean skin, free of makeup, on the day of your treatment. If you have any specific concerns or questions about preparation, please discuss them with your provider during your consultation.
