Units are the standard measurement for wrinkle-reducing cosmetic injectables, allowing providers to precisely tailor your treatment for safe and balanced results. The total units needed will depend on various factors, including muscle strength, desired outcome, and specific treatment areas.

• Units are individualized: Your provider tailors the dose to your unique needs and desired look, ensuring natural movement and expression.
• "Per side" matters: Some facial areas, like crow's feet or the jawline, are treated on both sides, which impacts the total unit count.
• Consultation first: A licensed injector will confirm the best plan for symmetry, safety, and achieving your 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 ranges are educational estimates. Your personalized treatment plan, including the exact number of units and specific areas, will be determined during your consultation with a licensed provider.

Wrinkle-reducing cosmetic injectables are designed to temporarily relax targeted facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines, forehead creases, and crow's feet. This helps to smooth the skin and soften expression lines, resulting in a more refreshed and youthful appearance while preserving natural facial movement. Results typically begin to appear within a few days, with the full effect visible around two weeks, and can last for several months, varying by individual.

To help prepare for your appointment, it's generally recommended to avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications or supplements (such as aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, and certain vitamins) for at least 24–48 hours before your treatment, if medically appropriate. This may help minimize the chance of bruising. Discuss any medications or health concerns with your provider during the consultation.
