Units are a standardized dosing measure used by providers to plan a safe, balanced result. Understanding how units are typically allocated can help you think about your aesthetic goals. Units are individualized: Your provider tailors the dose to your specific needs and desired look, not a one-size-fits-all approach. "Per side" matters: Some areas, like crow's feet or jawline, are treated on both sides of the face, so the total units may be split across two sections. Consultation first: Your injector confirms the best plan for symmetry, safety, and natural results based on your unique facial anatomy. 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; your personalized treatment plan will be confirmed by your provider during a detailed consultation.

A wrinkle-reducing cosmetic injectable treatment works by temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles that contribute to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This helps to soften common expression lines, such as crow's feet, frown lines, and forehead creases, while aiming to preserve your natural facial movement. Results typically begin to appear within a few days, with the full effect visible around two weeks after treatment. Individual outcomes may vary, and your provider will discuss what to expect during your consultation.

To prepare for your appointment, it is often recommended to avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications or supplements for at least 24–48 hours prior, if approved by your doctor. Arriving with a clean face, free of makeup, can also be beneficial. Always discuss any medications or health concerns with your provider during your consultation for personalized guidance.
