How much Botox is normal for the first time?

How much Botox is normal for a first treatment? For your first Botox treatment, the practitioner will usually use a lower dose, tailored to your facial expressions and personal wishes.

Average dosage per area:

• Frown lines: 20–25 units

• Forehead: 10–20 units

• Crow’s feet: 5–15 units per side

“Baby Botox” is a gentler option for beginners (around 10 units). It delivers a subtle, natural result while keeping your facial expressions intact.

👉 The exact amount depends on your muscle activity and the result you’re aiming for, so it’s always best to discuss this during your consultation. The effects typically last for around 3–4 months.
