Achieving natural, long-lasting Botox results depends on precise dosing—too little may not be effective, while too much can lead to an unnatural look. At Dr. Lanna Aesthetics in New York City, NY, Dr. Lanna customizes Botox treatments to ensure each patient receives the optimal number of units for their unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.
How We Determine the Right Botox Dosage
1. Muscle Strength & Activity – Stronger facial muscles, like those in the forehead or jawline, require more units to relax effectively. We assess how your muscles move naturally before determining dosage.
2. Treatment Area-Specific Guidelines – Common areas have general dosing recommendations:
- Forehead lines: 10–20 units
- Frown lines (11s): 15–25 units
- Crow’s feet: 5–15 units per side
- Jawline slimming (masseter muscle): 25–50 units per side
3. Desired Outcome – Some patients prefer a more subtle, natural movement, while others want a stronger, longer-lasting result. We adjust units accordingly.
4. Previous Botox Use – If you've had Botox before, we evaluate how your body metabolized it to fine-tune your treatment.
At Dr. Lanna Aesthetics, Dr. Lanna ensures every Botox treatment is perfectly tailored—delivering smooth, refreshed results that enhance your natural beauty.
