How Many Botox Units Do I Need?
There’s no one-size-fits-all number. The amount recommended depends on the area being treated, the strength of your facial muscles, how your face naturally moves, and the result you’re hoping to achieve. Here are some general unit ranges to give you an idea of what may be recommended.
| Area | Treats | Typical Units Needed |
|---|---|---|
| Glabellar Lines (“11s”) | Frown lines between eyebrows | 20–30 Units |
| Crow’s Feet | Smile lines around eyes | 10–30 Units |
| Forehead Lines | Horizontal brow lines | 10–30 Units |
| Lip Flip | Thin upper lip / gummy smile | 4–6 Units |
| Masseter (TMJ / Jaw Slimming) | Teeth grinding, square jaw | 20–60 Units |
| Hyperhidrosis (Underarms) | Excessive sweating | 50–100 Units |
Botox vs. Dysport vs. Nuceiva: What’s the Difference?
Botox, Dysport, and Nuceiva are all neuromodulators. They temporarily reduce targeted muscle activity that contributes to expression lines, including forehead lines, frown lines and crow’s feet. While they work on the same basic principle, they are different formulations and are dosed differently. How they are selected and used can depend on the treatment area, muscle movement, facial anatomy, previous treatments and the desired outcome.
That’s why there isn’t one product that is automatically “better” for everyone. Some patients have tried both and simply prefer how they respond to one over the other. At Westrick Clinic, we use Botox and Nuceiva. Nurse Sue assesses how your face naturally moves, listens to what you want and what you don’t want and recommends the product and treatment approach best suited to you.
The goal isn’t more units of neuromodulators. It’s the right treatment for your face.
| Botox | Dysport | Nuceiva | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it is | OnabotulinumtoxinA | AbobotulinumtoxinA | PrabotulinumtoxinA |
| Onset | 3 to 7 days | 2 to 5 days | Usually 2 to 3 days |
| Best for | Smaller, targeted areas (lip flip, crow's feet) | Larger areas (forehead, broad muscle groups) | Frown lines between the brows |
| Typical longevity | 3 to 4 months | 3 to 4 months | 3 to 4 months |
| Dosing | Units are not interchangeable between brands. Your clinician doses each product on its own scale. | ||

Platelet Rich Fibrin ( PRF)
Your Face. Your Biology. A More Regenerative Approach.
As skin ages, it can become thinner, less elastic and less able to maintain the fresh, healthy quality it once had. But rejuvenation doesn’t always have to mean adding something artificial. PRF facial injections use concentrated components from your own blood to support collagen production, skin quality and natural regeneration.
At Westrick Clinic, we use the Arthrex ACP® system to prepare 100% autologous fluid PRF in a closed system without synthetic separation materials or anticoagulants. The goal isn’t to change the face. It’s to help the skin look healthier, fresher and more like itself.
Platelet-Rich Fibrin or PRF
Start with a Free Consultation with Registered Nurse Sue West
PRF works differently from traditional cosmetic injectables. A small amount of blood is drawn and processed to concentrate your own platelets and growth factors, then strategically injected to support collagen and natural skin rejuvenation.
Rather than relaxing a muscle like neuromodulators or adding structure like dermal filler, PRF uses platelet-rich components from the patient’s own blood to support the skin’s natural regenerative processes and collagen production.
✔ Fine lines + crepey skin
Support smoother, healthier-looking skin.
✔ Skin texture + elasticity
Encourage collagen production and improved skin quality.
✔ Delicate areas
A regenerative option that can be considered for areas where skin quality, not simply added volume is the concern.
✔ Overall facial rejuvenation
Support gradual, natural-looking improvement without trying to make the face look different.
Clinical research on injectable PRF for facial rejuvenation has reported improvements in areas including skin texture, elasticity and the appearance of wrinkles, although the evidence base is still developing and individual outcomes vary.
