Botox is FDA approved for treating forehead lines and fine lines around the eyes (crow’s feet), in addition to glabellar lines. This differs from Dysport, which is only approved for glabellar lines.
The procedure involving Botox is like that of Dysport. The procedure is done at your doctor’s office with minimal recovery time.
The number of units your doctor will use depends on the area being treated and your desired results. The recommended average Botox dosages by treatment area are as follows:
- Glabellar lines: 20 total units, 5 injection sites
- Glabellar and forehead lines: 40 total units, 10 injection sites
- Crow’s feet: 24 total units, 6 injection sites
- All three types of wrinkles combined: 64 units
