How Much Botox do I need?
While it varies depending upon the person, there are averages regarding the amount of Botox that is generally used per area.
Areas Treated with botox
Initially, Botox was only approved for the glabella lines, or furrows between the eyebrows. However, over the years the indications for Botox have grown to include many other cosmetic treatment areas, such as above the lips, the masseters, the neck and more – all of which are practiced at Camas Medspa.
-
Forehead lines or worry lines. The forehead is an area which tends to wrinkle even when we are young and we often appear worried or stressed. Botox smooths out these forehead lines and leaves you looking relaxed and rejuvenated.
-
Glabella AKA Angry 11 AKA Frown lines. The deep furrow which can form between the eyebrows can often make one look angry even when they are not. Botox treats this deep lines and make this area smoother and more relaxed. One of the most popular treatment areas for Botox® Cosmetic is to reduce these frown lines.
-
Crow’s feet or Smile lines. Botox can remove the lines around the eyes which are most obvious when you smile or squint.
-
Neck lines or Platysmal bands. Botox can be used to minimize and smooth the lines around the neck in what’s called the “Nefertiti lift” by injecting the cords or platysmas bands.
-
Lines above the upper lip. Botox can be used to treat the smoker’s lines around the upper lip which is a sure sign of aging.
-
Chin dimples. Botox can be used to remove the texture and dimpling of chin wrinkles.
-
Frown lines around the mouth. Lift the lines around the mouth that hinder the smile.

-
Botox Masseter Reduction for Facial Slimming. Botox can be used to non-surgically slim the face and make the square jaw rounder. The TMJ joint is responsible for patients who grind their teeth at night. Injecting the masseter muscle relieves the pressure of this hypertrophied masseter muscle and relieves the pressure of the TMJ. Masseter injections injections will also make it more difficult for the person to grind or clench their teeth. Slimming results will be noticeable in 30 days – 2 treatments per year (20 units per side average) will be needed to maintain results.
