BOTOX is one of the most tried-and-true anti-aging treatments available. In fact, over the past decade, 4-7 million BOTOX injections have been administered every year — and with the pandemic over, that number is expected to be even higher in 2022.
For some, BOTOX is a powerful aging preventative. People in their late 20s are flocking to BOTOX to prevent aging. For others, BOTOX is one of the best anti-aging tools able to smooth existing wrinkles and take years off your appearance. For those who fall into the latter category, one of the most common questions we get asked is, “How many units of BOTOX should I get to eliminate my wrinkles?” If you’re curious to know the answer, keep reading!
BOTOX is one of the most time-tested wrinkle relaxer injectables to treat the effects of aging. One of the best parts about BOTOX treatments is how many parts of the face it can treat. This includes:
While BOTOX can treat all these areas, William J. Vinyard, MD, FACS, has found certain areas of the face where BOTOX truly shines. In his art, BOTOX is ideal for treating the upper half of the face (i.e., forehead, frown lines, and crow’s feet), as those wrinkles are more dynamic and can most benefit from wrinkle relaxers.
While BOTOX can target each of the aforementioned individual parts of the face, it’s more common to treat groups of the face. For anti-aging, Dr. Vinyard treats three main areas for a full-face makeover:
These can be treated by group, or all together. Dr. Vinyard uses approximately 20 units per area depending on a patient’s anatomy and aesthetic preferences.
If you’re looking for a full-face makeover, then Dr. Vinyard can treat all three areas of the face, which is often termed “full correction.” In Dr. Vinyard’s decades of education and experience, he’s discovered that treating these three areas produces the most natural anti-aging results. As you can probably figure, treating all three areas typically requires around 60 units of BOTOX. This provides full facial correction and full-face wrinkle elimination.
If you have other facial areas you’d like addressed, such as the lower part of the face, Dr. Vinyard often uses other injectables (like Juvéderm) to produce the most natural-looking results. While BOTOX can be used on the lower part of the face as well, other injectables are generally better equipped and specifically engineered to address the bottom half of the face and may include areas such as cheeks, jawline, chin, and lips.
Dr. Vinyard would love to create a personalized “liquid” facial makeover just for you. This can include using other injectables to tone, contour, plump and rejuvenate the face. Some of the other most popular cosmetic treatments paired with BOTOX are:
BOTOX results generally last three to four months before they need a refresher. Most patients book per season, but others find that their results can last even longer than four months. Depending on your BOTOX goals and the way in which your body responds to it, Dr. Vinyard can estimate how often you need to come into the office for maintenance.
