Units are a standardized dosing measure used by providers to plan a safe, balanced result for wrinkle-reducing cosmetic injectables. Your provider will determine the precise number of units required during your personalized consultation.

• Units are individualized: Your provider tailors the dose to your specific needs, muscle strength, and desired look.
• "Per side" matters: Some areas are treated on both sides of the face, so total units may be split across multiple injection points.
• Consultation first: Your injector confirms the best plan for symmetry, safety, and natural results before treatment.

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; the actual number of units needed for your treatment will be confirmed during your consultation.

Xeomin is a wrinkle-reducing cosmetic injectable designed to temporarily relax targeted facial muscles, which helps soften the appearance of dynamic lines and wrinkles. The treatment aims for a subtle refinement, allowing for natural facial expression while promoting a refreshed look. While individual results vary, the effects typically begin to appear within a few days and reach their peak over two weeks, lasting for several months. Your provider will discuss expected timelines during your consultation.

To help prepare for your appointment, consider avoiding alcohol and blood-thinning medications or supplements for at least 24-48 hours before your visit, if approved by your doctor. Arrive with clean skin, free of makeup or heavy lotions. If you have any concerns or specific questions about preparation, please discuss them with your provider during your consultation.
