Introduction
Under normal circumstances, the term "unit" refers to the dosage unit of botulinum toxin. When performing wrinkle removal around the eyes, the required dose of botulinum toxin mainly depends on the severity of the individual's eye wrinkles. If there are only mild fine lines around the eyes, typically 20-30 units of botulinum toxin are needed; for deeper and more severe wrinkles, 30-50 units may be required.
Generally, the unit refers to the dosage unit of botulinum toxin. When performing wrinkle removal around the eyes, the required dosage of botulinum toxin mainly depends on the severity of the individual's eye wrinkles. If the eye area has only minor fine lines, typically 20-30 units of botulinum toxin are needed. If the wrinkles are deeper and more severe, 30-50 units might be required. The general reference price for eye wrinkle treatment is 2000-4000 yuan per session, and visible improvement is usually observed within 7-14 days. A detailed explanation is as follows:
When eye wrinkles are relatively mild, primarily presenting as small, superficial lines, injecting 20-30 units of botulinum toxin typically achieves satisfactory results. This dosage of botulinum toxin is sufficient to inhibit excessive contraction of the eye muscles, thereby smoothing out fine lines and making the skin around the eyes appear smoother and tighter. At the same time, this dosage is relatively safe and unlikely to cause significant side effects or excessive relaxation.
For more severe eye wrinkles with deeper lines, a higher dosage of botulinum toxin may be necessary to achieve the desired wrinkle-reducing effect. Generally, a dosage of 30-50 units is a common choice. It is recommended to visit a reputable hospital for the treatment to ensure safety.
The injection site should be kept clean to avoid infection. It can be gently washed with warm water, but avoid using harsh facial cleansers or cosmetics.
