Start with the label doses
Most people call any wrinkle-relaxing injection “Botox.” At Dream, Araceli uses Jeuveau, an FDA-approved neurotoxin for frown lines that works the same way. Here’s what the labels say:
- Frown lines (11s): 20 units. This is Jeuveau’s FDA-approved use and dose (the Botox brand uses the same 20 units).
- Crow’s feet and forehead: the Botox brand’s label lists 24 units for crow’s feet and 20 for the forehead. For Jeuveau these areas are off-label, and the dose is set by your provider.
Label doses are averages from clinical studies, not rules. In practice, injectors adjust for muscle strength, face shape and how much movement you want to keep. (Source: Jeuveau prescribing information.)
What 20, 30 or 50 units usually cover
- 20 units: typically frown lines alone, or a light “baby Botox” spread across the forehead and 11s for someone with mild lines.
- 30 to 40 units: often frown lines plus forehead, or frown lines plus crow’s feet.
- 50 to 65 units: roughly a full upper face (forehead, 11s and crow’s feet).
Masseter (jaw) treatment and other off-label areas follow different math, usually more units per side for the jaw and just a few for a lip flip.
Why your injector may suggest more or less
- Muscle strength: stronger muscles (often, but not always, men) may need more to relax.
- Your goal: a natural, moving result may use fewer units than a very smooth one.
- Experience with tox: first-timers often start conservatively and add at the two-week check.
- Brow position: too much in the forehead can lower the brows, so less is sometimes more.
How units translate to cost
Total cost is units multiplied by the price per unit. Published Fresno-area regular prices were roughly $12 to $15 per unit when we checked in October 2026. So, for example, 20 units at $12 would be $240, and 50 units at $12 would be $600. Our current Jeuveau price and special are on the pricing guide and specials page.
Is $400 enough for Botox? Often, for one or two areas: at $10 to $15 per unit, $400 covers about 25 to 40 units. Your exact dose and total are set at your free consultation.
