Not with us! We prioritize subtle, expressive results. You’ll still look like you – just less tired.

The number of units needed varies significantly from person to person and depends on several factors:
Treatment area: Different facial areas require different amounts
Muscle strength: Stronger muscles may require more units
Gender: Men typically require more units due to stronger facial muscles
Desired results: More natural results may require fewer units
Previous treatments: Those with prior experience may need adjustments
During your consultation at Glowing U Wellness , we'll assess your facial anatomy and goals to determine the optimal number of units for you.
-
Initial softening in 3–5 days; full results at 2 weeks.
-
Men generally have stronger, larger facial muscles than women, which means more neurotoxin units are typically required to achieve similar results. Additionally, male skin is often thicker, and muscle mass is greater, requiring slightly higher doses for effective treatment.
At Glowing U Wellness, we have extensive experience tailoring neurotoxin treatments for both male and female clients to ensure natural, satisfying results.
