When you're considering Botox, it's natural to have a lot of questions. One of the most common topics we discuss with our clients is: Exactly how many units of Botox do you need for forehead wrinkles to see beautiful results?
Understanding how many units of Botox are required is an important question that connects directly to your potential results and the overall cost.
To give you the clear, direct answers you deserve, we've put together this quick Q&A guide.
Think of this as the prelude to your complimentary consultation with Savannah Keith, the founder and board-certified Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner (ARNP) at Savvy Rejuvenation & IV Bar.
A: That's the perfect place to start. A Botox unit is simply a standard measure of the product's strength.
It is not a measurement of liquid volume, like a cubic centimeter (cc).
Think of it as a "dose" of medicine. This standardization is crucial because it allows practitioners to deliver precise, consistent, and repeatable results for every client.
When we talk about Botox units, we are talking about the exact dose needed to relax a specific muscle effectively.
A: This is the big question! While the exact number is different for everyone, a general range for treating the horizontal lines across the forehead is between 10 and 30 units.
The official FDA-approved recommendation for this area is often 20 units. However, this serves as a guideline, not a rule.
Our goal is always to use the precise amount needed to give you a smooth, natural-looking result.
A: For someone trying a Botox treatment for the first time, we often take a more conservative approach. We'll start with a slightly lower number of units to see how your muscles respond.
It's better to add a little more later if needed than to start with too much.
This allows us to achieve a beautiful, subtle result while ensuring you still have a natural expression. It's part of the personalized care we provide at Savvy Rejuvenation & IV Bar.
A: This is another great, practical question. The cost of treatment is calculated on a per-unit basis. At Savvy Rejuvenation & IV Bar, our price for Botox® is $13 per unit.
So, to directly answer the question, a treatment of 20 units would cost $260 ($13 per unit x 20 units).
A: Because you are unique! A personalized treatment plan is essential for getting the best, most natural-looking results.
Here are the main factors we consider during your consultation:
A: We work hard to make your experience comfortable, positive, and empowering. It starts with a conversation where we discuss your goals.
The treatment itself is very quick, involving a series of small injections with a very fine needle. Most people describe it as a tiny, brief pinch.
Afterward, there is no real downtime, and you can get back to your day.
A: The only way to know for sure is through a one-on-one consultation. An expert needs to see your unique facial anatomy and, most importantly, hear about the results you are hoping for.
The first step is a simple conversation.
Let's talk about your goals and create a treatment plan that is perfect for you.
