Forehead and Frown Line Botox: Placement, Dose and Results
Smooth lines without heavy brows
Forehead and frown lines are among the most common reasons people try Botox. Relaxing the muscles that crease the skin smooths these lines. Placement matters: too much in the forehead can make brows feel heavy. Here is what a well-planned treatment looks like.
Key takeaways
- Frown lines: usually treated first; they respond very well.
- Forehead lines: need careful, lighter dosing.
- Avoid heaviness: brow position guides placement.
- Onset: 3–7 days; full effect at about 2 weeks.
- Duration: about 3–4 months.
Typical units
| Area | Common unit range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Frown lines (glabella) | 15–25 units | Most predictable result |
| Forehead | 6–20 units | Lighter to protect brow position |
| Crow's feet | 8–12 units per side | Often added together |
Unit ranges vary by brand and individual muscle strength.
How to avoid heavy brows
- Treat the frown muscles together with the forehead.
- Keep forehead doses higher up and lighter.
