How much Botox is normal for the first time?

How much Botox is normal for a first treatment? For your first anti-wrinkle treatment, a practitioner will usually recommend a lower dose, tailored to your facial expressions and desired outcome.

Average dosage per area:

• Frown lines: 20–25 units

• Forehead: 10–20 units

• Crow’s feet: 5–15 units per side

A gentler approach, often referred to as “baby Botox”, may involve a lower number of units and can help achieve a subtle, natural-looking result while maintaining facial movement.

👉 The exact amount required depends on individual factors such as muscle strength and treatment goals, so a consultation with a qualified and registered medical professional is essential. Results typically last around 3–4 months, although this may vary between individuals.
