How much wrinkle relaxer will I need?

One of the common questions we get at FitLab is how many units of neurotoxin is needed to achieve the results you want. Our expert injectors are here to help and an in person consultation is necessary, however here is a quick guide to understand approximately how much neurotoxin is used in each area.

Neurotoxins work by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that cause muscles to contract, resulting in a relaxed and smoother appearance of the skin. The most common neurotoxin used in cosmetic procedures is botulinum toxin type A. The amount of units needed per area of the face varies depending on several factors such as the strength of the patient's muscles, desired results, and the area being treated. Typically, a practitioner will assess the patient's muscle strength and facial anatomy to determine the appropriate dosage required to achieve the desired effect while ensuring natural-looking results. It is essential for the practitioner to have a deep understanding of facial anatomy and experience in administering neurotoxin injections to achieve optimal outcomes for each individual patient.
