Usually, it takes around 20 units between the eyes and from 8-30 units in the forehead. For the crowsfeet the average is 8 units on each side. Bunny lines around the nose usually take around 2-8 units. For the lip lines, 2-6 units. For downturned mouths injections in the lower lip / chin area usually requires 4-8 units. Basically, you just have to multiply the number of units by the cost per unit to get what approximately you’ll be expecting to pay. Botox typically costs around 10-16 dollars per unit. When you use more botox the cost is usually less and doctors usually have a sliding scale and the price goes down with more units used per client.

How much does botox cost?
Wednesday, June 24th, 2009Extra skin between the eyes and solutions to it
Wednesday, June 24th, 2009This extra skin is a consequence of reductive type of surgeries. When you age, you lose volume and this contributes to the extra skin. Upper eyelifts / blepharoplasties take away skin and that usually leaves skin elsewhere. It won’t end. A better way to rejuvenate the upper eyelids is to volumize the whole area. This will require fat grafting and on occassion facial implants.
The extra skin between your eyebrows is a normal part of aging that can be accentuated with reductive type of procedures. This area may need to be filled in to plump up the deflated state. This will fill in some of the wrinkles and excess. There are doctors out there that can think outside of the box to give people a more younger and natural appearance.
Fat injections are another fantastic way to fill in loss volume. The YoungVitalizer is my technique of volumizing the face using a persons own tissues to volumize the face. This amazing technique can be used between the brows as well. I incorporate my internationally acclaimed theory on facial beauty with the YoungVitalizer to get the best and more natural results.
Botox and shaping the Jawline through injecting the Masseter Muscle
Wednesday, June 24th, 2009I usually use 20 to 30 units of botox in the masseter muscle to decrease the prominence of it. The results can be that the muscle becomes less prominent and jaw area become less pronounced and the lower third of your face become more slimmer. Botox in the masseter muscle has been shown to last longer when used in this area.
Instead of 3-6 months, people have benefits for up to 6-9 months in some studies. The charge for botox ranges from 9-16 dollars per unit. The other way to shape the lower third is to take out bone through the mouth which is a much more involved procedure.
