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.

As for the dose, it depends on what area(s) were treated. If only your forehead was treated, then 14 units may be OK. If other areas were treated also, then 14 units is a small dose. You didn't address the most important question - do you like the result? Good luck!
