The number of units will vary somewhat based on particular surgeon style, your anatomy (size of your forehead and thickness of your target muscles), but I generally average 14-18 injection sites (4 units/ injection site for Botox or 10 units/injection site for Dysport…. I use both) in treating the typical female glabella, brow and crow’s feet.
So on average, 56-72 units of Botox, or 140-180 units Dysport to treat your areas of concern. Locate an experienced Plastic Surgeon and compare prices. (Jonathan R. Fugo, DO, Newburgh Plastic Surgeon)
Botox is an excellent treatment for forehead wrinkles and crow’s feet (wrinkles on the sides of the eyes). I recommend 10 units per side for the crow’s feet, and with this amount (and with proper placement) a lateral eyebrow lift can be obtained.
How Do You Determine How Much Is Needed
Botox to the forehead requires less Botox than most people think. Too much Botox can create a frozen look and cause heaviness and descent of the eyebrows. Most people will require between 5 to 10 units for the entire forehead.
More than that will certainly smooth the forehead but will often cause issues with the eyebrows that I stated earlier. (Timothy R. Miller, MD, Orange County Facial Plastic Surgeon)
The amount of Botox needed will vary from patient to patient. Some have stronger muscles especially the corrugators and need more paralysis. A good average is about 30 to 50 units to treat the frontalis, corrugators, and the crow’s feet bilaterally.
You may have to adjust for later treatments. (Thomas Guillot, MD, Baton Rouge Plastic Surgeon)
The amount of Botox needed to treat each area is determined by the look you would like to achieve. A consult with an expert injector would be necessary to obtain an idea of how much Botox would be right for you.
It Is Better To Start With Less Verses More Units Of Botox
In my experience 100 units to treat your forehead and crows feet is above and beyond what would be required. (Martin Jugenburg, MD, Toronto Plastic Surgeon)
Botox to forehead and crows feet
100 units of Botox is more than enough to treat the forehead and crows feet.
The dosing is patient specific and varies, but average dosing to each area is 20-25 units. (Sean R. Weiss, MD, FACS, New Orleans Facial Plastic Surgeon)
100 units of Botox for the forehead and Crows feet is too much for most people.
Although an examination would provide more information, 40 units is sufficient for these two areas for the majority of people I see.
Since the dosing system is different for Dysport, 100 units of Dysport is equivalent to 40 units of Botox in these areas. (Stephen Prendiville, MD, Fort Myers Facial Plastic Surgeon)
N Average Amount Used In The Forehead Ranges Between 10- 40 Units
Botox is an amazing medication. However the key to great results is in the skill of the doctor doing the treatment.
You will most certainly need much less than 100 units for your forehead and crowsfeet but that is something that your doctor will help you figure out. (Marc Cohen, MD, Philadelphia Oculoplastic Surgeon)
With most women I would use 75 units for the glabella, forehead and crow’s foot regions with the likelihood of 85 for most men. 100 is a bit high unless you have a very tall forehead, at which point it would be at the discretion of the injector to determine the volume necessary. (Shepherd G. Pryor, MD, Scottsdale Facial Plastic Surgeon)
For most patients, 100 units of Botox would be a lot for the forehead and crows feet.
50 units would probably be enough as you want to leave some normal animation in the forehead area.. (G. Wesley Price, MD, Chevy Chase Plastic Surgeon)
Every Patient Is Different
Botox for forehead and crows feet
Doses for Botox vary depending on the person and their anatomy. That said, dosed for the crows feet range from 15-30 units typically and 5-20 units for the forehead (not including glabella). So, 100 units is A LOT, especially for someone with few major wrinkles. (Mark Hamilton, MD, Indianapolis Facial Plastic Surgeon)
Botox dosing
100 units of Botox is a very good amount to treat nearly everything on the face that has wrinkles due to movement. Chances are you will need much less to treat the forehead and crow’s feet, however.
I approach injecting Botox differently in every patient as no two faces are alike. You don’t want a non-experienced injector who does not appreciate facial anatomy. See a board certified core (dermatology or plastic surgery) physician for best results. (Omar Ibrahimi, MD, PhD, Stamford Dermatologic Surgeon)
The amount of Botox depends on many factors. It is difficult to give you an exact amount without an in person consultation however you will need much less than 100 units for your forehead and glabella.
I would recommend consultation with a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon experienced in aesthetic injectables. (Kristin Baird, MD, Longmont Dermatologic Surgeon)
100 Units for someone who does not have major wrinkles is most likely too much. Usually I use 6-12 Units per crow’s feet and forehead lines may range from 14-28 (more for men with heavy lines).
The trick is not to over-treat, especially if this is your first treatment. You may not want to lose too much expressive quality or aspects of your personality. Speak to an experienced injector who can guide you through your options. (Shobhan Manoharan, MBBS, FACD, Brisbane Dermatologist)
There Is No Set Number For The Amount Of Botox Or Xeomin Units That Need To Be Used In The Forehead
individuals do vary in how many units are required for particular areas. We always like to see our patients two weeks after a treatment to adjust it if needed. Any physician with proper training, experience, and credentials would be able to help you with this. It’s best to rely on their judgement when determining how many units are needed, and where. (Robert S. Schmidt, MD, Richmond Facial Plastic Surgeon)
Without an in-person consultation and at least some photographs it’s impossible to accurately tell you how many units of Botox you will need for your forehead and crow’s feet. What I can tell you though is 100 units is way too much for these areas.
I have never used 100 units to treat both the forehead and crow’s feet. Depending on the depth of your wrinkles you most likely will not require more than 40-60 units to give you a natural result.
Make sure you schedule a consultation with an experienced Botox injector who can give you the best result using the fewest units of Botox. (Michael A. Zadeh, MD, FACS, Sherman Oaks General Surgeon)
