Does Botox hurt? Most patients have minimal discomfort; however, we can administer a topical anesthetic if necessary.
When do people get Botox? The ideal time to start having regular treatments is when you see fine lines when your face is at rest. For some people, this might be as early as 20; others may not need to start until they are 35 or older. A typical treatment is 20 to 60 units and lasts 3 to 6 months.
How many units do I need? The severity and quantity of your lines will determine how many units of Botox you need. In general, we advise three injections into the muscle areas that frame the side of each eye for crow’s feet. You may require up to five injections for frown lines. You might also have up to five injections for the forehead lines.
