The Importance of Correct Botox Dosing 1456 816 San Diego Neu Look Med Spa & Skin Center

Botox and other neuromodulators—such as Dysport, Xeomin, and Daxxify—are exactly what they sound like: medications. That’s why it’s essential your injector is a licensed RN, NP, PA, MD, or DO. These professionals understand that Botox is not just a beauty enhancer—it’s a precisely dosed treatment that must be administered with medical expertise.

Botox Is a Medication—And Medications Must Be Dosed Properly

Think of it this way: If you were prescribed an antibiotic for an infection, but the dose was too low, it wouldn’t effectively kill the bacteria. Or if you were taking medication for high blood pressure and the dose was incorrect, your blood pressure would remain elevated. Botox is no different.

Botox has received FDA approval for reducing the appearance of wrinkles, and its effectiveness is directly tied to proper dosing. The recommended clinical doses based on years of research are:

  • 20 units for the glabella area (to treat “11’s” between the brows)
  • 20 units for the forehead
  • 12 units to each eye for crow’s feet
  • Up to 36 units for platysma bands in the neck

These guidelines are just the starting point. Factors like muscle strength, age, gender (men typically need more units), and activity level all influence your ideal dose. At Neu Look Med Spa, our providers develop a customized care plan using these guidelines and their clinical experience to ensure safe, effective results.

What If I’m on a Budget or Usually Get Fewer Units?

We completely understand—everyone has different budgets. That said, part of the cost of Botox at Neu Look reflects the quality of care you receive. Our providers are extensively trained in both facial anatomy and aesthetic technique. When you pay for Botox at Neu Look, you’re investing in:

  • A personalized consultation and facial analysis
  • Education and recommendations tailored to you
  • High-quality materials and FDA-approved medication
  • The experience and skill of medical professionals who prioritize your results and safety

We do not base your treatment on what another provider has done. Instead, we assess your face, goals, and musculature to determine what’s truly needed to achieve the best and most natural results. This individualized approach is one of the key reasons Neu Look patients have been coming back for over 20 years.

What If I Need a Touch-Up?

Botox doesn’t work instantly. It usually takes 5–7 days to begin showing effects, and it reaches full efficacy around 14 days after injection. That’s why we schedule a two-week follow-up appointment—especially for new patients—to ensure optimal results and make any necessary adjustments.

At Neu Look, we stand by our work and want you to love your results. Your satisfaction and safety are always our top priorities.
