Botox is a purified protein that temporarily relaxes muscles, smoothing out wrinkles and lines. It’s FDA-approved for various cosmetic and therapeutic uses, and at AIVI Aesthetics, we’re experts in harnessing its power for natural-looking results. We’re here to guide you through the world of Botox, specifically focusing on the popular 20-units treatment and how it can enhance your natural beauty.

What are Botox units?
Think of Botox units like tiny drops of magic potion (okay, not quite, but you get the picture!). Each unit targets specific muscle groups, temporarily relaxing them and smoothing out wrinkles. The number of units needed depends on several factors, including:
- Area being treated: Forehead lines? Crow’s feet? Frown lines? Each area requires a different amount of Botox firepower.
- Severity of wrinkles: Deeper wrinkles often call for more units than fine lines.
- Muscle strength: Some people naturally have stronger muscles, requiring more Botox to achieve desired results.
Comparing 20 Units of Botox to Other Options:
- Less than 20 units: Ideal for subtle tweaks and maintenance, like touching up existing areas or targeting smaller concerns.
- More than 20 units: This can be used for more dramatic results, like addressing deeper wrinkles or treating larger areas. However, it’s important to consult with a qualified injector to ensure a natural-looking outcome.
