We normally recommend you wait four hours before you lie down. This is to ensure the Botox doesn't migrate or encourage bruising.
However, overtreatment can cause damage that is difficult to correct. Injecting too much Botox can create an unnatural look with asymmetrical features that might be impossible to reverse immediately.
Number of units – As is the case with Botox treatment between the eyebrows, the average is five units per injection or 25 total, but dermatologists may provide between 20 and 50 total units, depending on the individual's needs and their response to treatment.
Only BOTOX® Cosmetic is FDA approved to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines, crow's feet, forehead lines, and vertical bands connecting the neck and jaw (platysma bands) in adults.
For best results, the forehead lines should never be treated alone—they should always be paired with treatment of the frown lines (in the glabella area).
It is effective at smoothing out wrinkles and facial fine lines. Treatment is minimally invasive so no need for surgery or anaesthetic. Non-permanent solution so once it wears off you can try other additional treatments if you want. It is bespoke based on your individual needs.
It can weaken your muscles
“Botulinum toxin actually blocks neuro-communication between the nerve and the muscle, causing weakening or paralysis of that muscle,” Dr. Zins explains. If you continue to get injections over time, your muscles start to weaken from lack of use.
BTX Jelly Roll is a cosmetic treatment in which small amounts of BTX are injected into the muscle around the eyes. BTX works by blocking the nerve signals that tighten and contract the muscles around the eyes, causing the muscles to relax and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
The Role of Botox in Smile Enhancement
By targeting the facial muscles responsible for lifting the upper lip, Botox reduces the elevation of the lip during smiling. This subtle yet significant change can drastically reduce the gummy appearance of a smile.
The Guide to Botox
The frown lines are right above the eyebrows and between the eyes. According to the recommendations, this requires 20 units. And finally, for the lines further up the forehead, which we refer to as forehead lines, it takes 20 units of Botox. That's a total of 64 units to treat all three areas.
For instance, in states like California and New York, Botox price per unit can range from $14 to $20.
How long is the treatment? Around 30 minutes including consultation. Anti-Wrinkle Treatments typically takes 14 days to take full effect, we offer a free review 14 days after treatment.
In many cases, insurance companies require pre-authorization before covering Botox treatments. Your healthcare provider will need to submit a pre-authorization request that includes details about your medical condition, any previous treatments, and the recommended Botox dosage.
The cost of 50 units of Botox varies by location and the provider. It usually falls between $500 and $1,000. This range depends on the treatment areas and the practitioner's skills. Combining treatments like forehead and frown lines might use about 40 units of Botox.
You can also consider treatments such as retinoids, chemical peels, and microneedling. Dermal fillers are another alternative. This injectable treatment typically works immediately and lasts longer than Botox. But it's still a temporary solution.
