Cosmetic injectable units represent a standardized dosing measure used by providers to plan a safe, balanced result. Understanding how units are typically allocated can help you visualize your personalized treatment plan.

• Units are individualized: Your provider tailors the precise dose to your unique facial anatomy, muscle strength, and desired aesthetic.
• "Per side" matters: Some treatment areas, like crow's feet or jawline, are addressed on both sides of the face, contributing to the total unit count.
• Consultation first: Your injector confirms the optimal plan for symmetry, safety, and natural results during your detailed 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. Your exact unit requirements will be confirmed by your provider during your personalized consultation to ensure the best possible outcome.

Botox is designed to temporarily relax facial muscles, helping to smooth the appearance of dynamic lines caused by repeated expressions. This treatment aims to create a refreshed, naturally rested look that enhances your unique features without affecting your natural expression. Results typically begin to appear within a few days and generally last several months, with individual outcomes varying based on various factors. Your provider will discuss anticipated timelines and expectations during your consultation.

To prepare for your appointment, please arrive with a clean face, free of makeup. It is generally recommended to avoid alcohol and smoking for at least 24 hours prior to treatment. To help minimize bruising, consider avoiding blood-thinning medications and certain supplements like Aspirin or Ibuprofen for about one week beforehand, if advised by your doctor.
