What is a Botox zone? The forehead wrinkles, frown lines, or crow’s feet are each considered a single Botox zone. What is a half zone?

What is 1 zone botox

1 Botox Zone

Most clinics price Botox per “zone” or “area.” But what exactly is one Botox zone? And how many units of botulinum toxin are used in a wrinkle treatment? Only botulinum toxin treatments in the upper half of the face are referred to as zones or areas. So, only Botox treatments for frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles are designated as a Botox zone or area. This blog explains it for you!

Half Zone

A half Botox zone is ideal for treating early wrinkles and provides a subtle, natural result. This means a smaller dose of Botox is administered in a specific area, such as the crow’s feet or a light frown. It can be effective for people who are just starting wrinkle treatments or for those who need only minimal correction. However, for deeper wrinkles or a stronger frown muscle, a full zone is recommended. This ensures the muscle stays properly relaxed without the effect looking unnatural, keeping the result subtle and in harmony with your natural appearance.

Frown Lines Are One Zone

When you consider treating only your frown lines with botulinum toxin, most clinics refer to this as one zone or one area. The price for this ranges between £70 and £190 in the UK. Injectablesbooking.co.uk explains in this article why Botox prices can vary so much. If you want a Botox treatment for, for example, your horizontal forehead lines and your frown lines or crow’s feet, most clinics refer to this as two zones or two areas of botulinum toxin.

However, it gets a bit tricky. Not every clinic uses the same “zone” division. Some clinics consider a “brow lift” as a half zone, also called mini or baby Botox. This isn’t included in the frown line zone price at every clinic. Some doctors and clinics price this treatment separately, while others use the “baby/mini Botox” rate. The majority of doctors and clinics do include the brow lift within the frown line zone.

Wrinkle Treatment in 3 Zones

Botox is a brand name for botulinum toxin. In the UK, the three well-known A-brands in use are Botox (by Allergan), Azzalure/Dysport, and Bocouture. When used by a qualified professional, all three brands have a high safety profile, but more on that later. Most clinics use the well-known 3-zone division. This distinguishes between horizontal forehead lines, frown lines (including brow lift), and crow’s feet. There is then a fixed price for one zone, a fixed price for two zones, and a fixed price for three zones.

Botulinum Toxin Units

Some doctors and clinics use a completely different pricing method. They charge based on the number of botulinum toxin units used. Each person requires a different number of units. For example, men often need more units than women. Additionally, someone with strong facial expressions (powerful muscles) will require more botulinum toxin than someone with less pronounced muscles or expressions, making frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet more visible. This method is less clear for consumers, as it is up to the cosmetic practitioner to decide how many units to use at that moment. This makes it harder to compare the cost of a botulinum toxin wrinkle treatment across different clinics.

What is the price of 1 Botox zone?

The average price for a treatment of one botulinum toxin zone is £119. Prices vary widely, so it’s worth comparing regularly.

Low prices are no guarantee

A clinic may offer low prices but inject too small a dose of botulinum toxin. This can result in the treatment being less effective, incomplete, or wearing off faster than the standard 12–16 weeks. However, if a treatment is less effective, it doesn’t necessarily mean the practitioner used too little. Some people simply require a slightly higher dose. It could also be that the practitioner didn’t inject precisely in the right spots, which requires skill. This is usually not harmful, at most slightly less effective, but it can indicate the practitioner’s experience if it happens frequently.

If clinics communicated their rates per botulinum toxin zone and specified which brand they use, it would improve market transparency. Make sure you are well informed about prices, zones, and the brand of botulinum toxin at the clinic you choose. Compare and book your next injectables treatment at injectablesbooking.co.uk!

Botulinum Toxin and the FDA

Three botulinum toxin manufacturers have received FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approval for one or more medical indications. These are Botox/Vistabel from Allergan, Bocouture/Xeomin from Merz, and Azzalure/Dysport from Galderma. The FDA is regarded worldwide as a strict yet fair regulatory authority for the medical field. Receiving FDA approval is therefore a significant achievement.

Number of Botulinum Toxin Units per Treatment

Many people like to know how much botulinum toxin they actually need. The number of units required depends on several factors. First, the severity of the wrinkles is important. Do you have deep frown lines? Then more botulinum toxin is usually needed. Men also typically require more units than women.

Additionally, it depends on the brand of botulinum toxin used. Bocouture and Botox follow roughly the same unit calculation method. Azzalure uses a different method to determine the recommended dosage and communicates units in Speywoods, whereas Bocouture and Botox use Units. The number of units does not indicate quality—only the recommended dosage per brand.

The recommended number of units per brand can vary due to many factors. This information should not be considered medical advice, a guideline, or a substitute for package insert information. Injectablesbooking.co.uk is not responsible for any consequences.

If you have been receiving botulinum toxin treatments for several years, your facial muscles may become “de-conditioned,” meaning your frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet may require fewer or less frequent injections. On average, a botulinum toxin treatment wears off after 12–16 weeks.
