There are different techniques to inject the forehead which depend on how big a forehead you have, how active the muscles are, how much extension laterally and vertically you have. The units will also depend on whether you are looking for total resolution or subtle improvement. Everything is customized to the patient. The number of units can range anywhere from 4 to 2o units. The more units, the longer the result and more likely to get rid of more of the lines. Cost per unit ranges anywhere from 10-20 per unit. We charge $15 per unit. You can also check the website at www.allergen.com for the docs that do alot of injections. Good luck

Botox, when used properly, is extremely safe. Pregnant women and people with neurological conditions should not be treated. There is a learning curve in using it, so the key is to pick an experienced practioner.

Thanks for the input. I went to the most well-known dermatologist in the area. His practice is quite large and he does Botox regularly. He gave me 100 units which treated a large area of my scalp and forehead. He had never done or heard of Botox for hair loss, but was willing to give it a shot.
