One of the most common questions we hear is: “How many units will I need?” In 2026, we have shifted the conversation from “How many units?” to “What is the dose-duration?”
Dosage vs. Frozen

In the past, “more units” meant a “frozen” look. Today, we use higher concentrations in smaller areas to ensure the results last longer without losing your ability to express emotion.
- The Forehead:Typically 10–20 units.
- The Glabella (11 lines):Typically 20–30 units.
- Crow’s Feet:Typically 12–24 units.
Why “Under-Dosing” Costs You More

Many patients request “just a few units” to save money. However, under-dosing the muscle means the results will only last 4–6 weeks instead of 12–16. At Ziva Wellness, we believe in Full Therapeutic Dosing—giving you the right amount to ensure you aren’t back in the chair every month.
