How Much Botox Do you Need?

For Botox injections, bruising is not an indication of effectiveness. What is more telling is the number of units that were injected; 14 units is clearly not enough Botox to accomplish your stated goal. 14 units is a bit too conservative , I am afraid. In my practice, I prefer not to sell Botox by the unit for one simple reason: Our goal is satisfy the needs of our patients, not sell Botox. Patients know what their needs are; they don?t (really) know how many units they need. For example, a patient comes to my office to address the frown lines between her eyebrows. Plain and simple, that is her goal. She does not walk in asking for x number of units of Botox. So we address her issue and bill by the area. And two weeks later if she feels there?s still some room for improvement we provide a free touch up.

Wow thats worrying (frown lines)...I will double check tomorrow. Hopefully I misheard him. The units given were not on the invoice. Thank you for your feedback.
