Units are the standardized measurement used by providers to determine the precise dose of wrinkle-reducing cosmetic injectables. This allows for a tailored approach to smooth specific areas.

Units are individualized: Your provider tailors the dose to your unique needs and desired look for a balanced result. "Per side" matters: Some facial areas are treated on both sides, so the total unit count may be distributed across these areas. Consultation first: Your injector confirms the best plan for symmetry, safety, and natural-looking results. 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 unit ranges are educational estimates. The exact number of units required will be determined during your personalized consultation, based on your muscle strength, desired outcome, and facial anatomy.

A wrinkle-reducing cosmetic injectable works by temporarily relaxing specific facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines, forehead creases, and crow's feet. The treatment is designed to soften the appearance of these lines, creating a smoother, more refreshed look while preserving your natural facial expressions. Results typically begin to appear within 24–48 hours and fully develop over about two weeks, lasting approximately 3–4 months. Individual results may vary.

To prepare for your appointment, it's generally advised to avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications or supplements for at least 24–48 hours prior, if medically appropriate and approved by your doctor. This can help minimize the risk of bruising at the injection site. Arrive with clean skin, free of makeup. Any specific pre-treatment instructions will be provided by your provider during booking or consultation.
