When it comes to BOTOX®, understanding the concept of units and how they relate to treatment areas is vital to achieving your desired results. Under the guidance of Dr. Feinstein, a Board-Certified Mohs Surgeon, dermatologist, and Diamond-Level Allergan Partner, our team leverages the latest technology and a personalized approach to ensure your Botox treatment is precisely tailored to your unique needs and goals.
Botox Units: The Building Blocks of Your Treatment
Botox is measured in units, representing the amount of botulinum toxin used in a treatment. The number of units required varies depending on several factors, including the size and strength of the muscles being treated, the desired outcome, and individual patient characteristics.

Typical Unit Ranges for Common Treatment Areas
While the exact number of units needed will be determined during your consultation with Dr. Feinstein, here’s a general guideline for common treatment areas:
- Forehead Lines: 10-20 units
- Eyebrow Lift: 2-10 units per side
- Frown Lines (Glabella): 12-20 units
- Lower Eyelids: 2-4 units per side
- Crow’s Feet: 10-15 units per side
- Bunny Lines (Nose): 5-10 units
- Lip Flip: 4-6 units
- Chin Dimpling: 2-6 units
- Jawline Slimming (Masseter): 15-30 units per side
- Neck Bands (Platysmal Bands): 8-20 units per band
It’s important to remember that these are just estimates. Dr. Feinstein will determine the precise number of units you’ll need during your consultation, ensuring the most effective treatment for your specific needs.
How Many Units for Hyperhidrosis?
Did you know that Botox also treats hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)? Depending on the area being treated and the severity of your sweating, the exact unit count will require an in-person consultation. Here are some general ranges to give you an idea:
- Underarms (Axillary Hyperhidrosis): Typically, 50-100 units per underarm are used.
- Hands (Palmar Hyperhidrosis): Typically, this amount ranges from 50-100 units per hand.
- Feet (Plantar Hyperhidrosis): The number of units required for feet can vary depending on the severity of sweating, but it’s generally higher than for the underarms or hands.
Factors That Influence Your Botox Dosage
- Muscle Strength: Stronger muscles may require more units to achieve the desired relaxation and wrinkle reduction.
- Desired Outcome: If you prefer a more subtle or dramatic result, the number of units may be adjusted accordingly.
- Individual Variations: Each person’s facial anatomy and muscle activity are unique, which can influence the optimal dosage.
- Previous Botox Treatments: If you’ve had Botox before, Dr. Feinstein may adjust the dosage based on your response to prior treatments.
