Botox calculator FAQ
How many units of Botox do I need?+
It depends on the area and your muscle strength. Common general ranges are about 20 units for frown lines, 10–20 for the forehead, and 12–24 for crow’s feet. This calculator adds up typical ranges for the areas you pick, but the exact dose is decided by a licensed injector at a consultation.
How much does Botox cost?+
Botox is usually priced per unit. Per-unit prices in the US typically run about $12–$17, and higher in major metros (roughly $16–$25 in New York). Multiply the units by the per-unit price for an estimate, then confirm the quote at a consultation.
Is this Botox calculator accurate?+
It gives a ballpark estimate from published typical ranges, not a medical recommendation. Your actual units and cost vary by anatomy, goals, provider and brand (Botox vs Dysport). Always confirm with a licensed provider.
How long does Botox last?+
Results from a cosmetic Botox treatment commonly last around 3–4 months, after which the effect gradually fades. Your provider can advise on maintenance timing for your goals.
How many units of Botox for the forehead?+
Forehead lines typically take about 10–20 units. Many providers treat the forehead together with the frown lines between the brows for a balanced result, so the combined number is often higher. Your injector confirms the dose at a consultation.
How many units of Botox for frown lines (the "11s")?+
The frown lines between the brows (glabella) commonly take around 15–30 units, with about 20 units a frequent starting point. The exact number depends on how strong the muscles are.
How many units of Botox for crow's feet?+
Crow's feet usually take about 12–24 units total for both sides (roughly 6–12 per side). A lighter or stronger result shifts that range.
How many units of Botox for masseter (jaw slimming)?+
Masseter treatment for jaw slimming or TMJ commonly uses about 30–60 units total across both sides. It is one of the higher-dose areas, so it changes the estimate noticeably.
How many units are in a vial of Botox?+
Botox vials commonly contain 50, 100 or 200 units. Clinics dilute and dose per area, and you are charged for the units actually used, not the whole vial.
Is Botox or Dysport cheaper?+
Dysport often has a lower price per unit, but it is dosed differently — roughly 2.5–3 Dysport units per 1 Botox unit — so the total treatment cost can be similar. Compare the full price, not just the per-unit rate.
