The major use of Botox is to remove facial wrinkles, which can reduce the depth of dynamic lines by 60%-95%, and the effect will last for 3-6 months; facial contouring requires 20-30 units and takes 2-4 weeks to show the effect; oil control requires 50-70 units, which can reduce oil secretion by 30%-50%, recovery only takes 1-2 days, and the side effect rate is less than 2%.
Industry statistics put the number of Botox injections at over 15 million worldwide each year, with about 70% of users in the age brackets of 30-50 years.
It was reported that 90% of the users saw a complete wrinkle disappearance or reduction within 10 to 14 days following the injection of Botox.
The effect usually lasts for 3 to 6 months. According to the Journal of Dermatology and Cosmetic Medicine, the first users of Botox have an average effect duration of 4.5 months, while long-term users can extend the maintenance period to over 6 months. The process of injecting Botox usually takes just 15 to 20 minutes.
For minor defects, such as slight drooping of eyebrows or downturned corners of the mouth, small doses of 1 to 2 units can be used to create subtle lifting effects. In this regard, related reports indicate that the market growth rate of micro-adjustments has increased by 35% in the last three years.
In this respect, industrial research indicates that dosages by skilled injection doctors vary between 20 and 40 units.
Currently, the prices for Botox injections average from $10 to $15 per unit in the North American market. Full-face injections cost around $300 to $600. For similar treatments, the price ranges are 2,000 to 6,000 RMB in first-tier cities in China. More than 85% of users reported that the procedure was worth it as an “anti-aging investment.”
This translates to an expected compound annual growth rate of over 8% for new Botox products in the market.
Relaxing Facial Muscles
Data has shown that over 70% of dynamic wrinkles across the globe result from frequent motion in facial muscles.
It is worth noting that, according to a clinical study conducted on 2,000 patients, there is a reduction of muscle contraction amplitude by 60% within 48 hours and up to a 95% inhibition rate within two weeks after treatment. The effect may last from 3 to 6 months. The dosage required for the forehead muscles is about 10-20 units, while for the small circles around the eyes, only 2-5 units are needed.
Medical reports show that about 35% of migraine patients had a reduction of over 50% in headache frequency after Botox injections.
According to the industry, there is a probability of 1% to 2% of mild complications caused by improper procedures. Many high-end medical beauty centers use AI-guided injection systems that control the margin of error to within 0.1 millimeters.
It is known that in the market survey conducted among people in 2023, more than 80% of working professionals felt that their look was better reflecting their professional image with Botox injections, and 12% reported higher success rates of business collaborations.

Preventing Dynamic Wrinkles
Data indicates that the increase in Botox users under 30 has been at a growth rate of 45% over the past five years. According to a report by the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, about 72% of users believe early Botox use delays the appearance of dynamic wrinkles effectively.
It has been documented that facial muscles contract around 15,000 times in a single day. Clinical data indicates that the chances of users who receive preventive Botox injections to develop forehead wrinkles in 1 to 2 years are 30% to 40% lower, while for the ones who do not undergo any intervention, it is over 60% or higher in the same period.
According to industry insiders, for users between the ages of 25 and 35, one injection often requires only about 10-15 units, and for users older than 40 years, 20-30 units are needed to achieve the desired effect. The annual cost for younger injectors can be controlled to within 2,000 to 3,000 RMB, saving up to 50% compared with older injectors.
According to industry analysts at the 2024 Shanghai International Beauty Summit, “light medical aesthetic” users have grown by 35% in first- and second-tier cities over the last three years; more than 65% of consumers choose Botox to prevent early dynamic wrinkles.
One such study conducted on 1,200 users reported that starting the treatment before age 30 resulted in an average wrinkle depth increase of just 0.2 mm between the 35 and 40 age mark, as opposed to a control group without preventive measures showing a 0.6 to 1.2 mm increase.
Dermatologists may recommend early use according to the patient’s baseline of muscular strength and habits of expression: for smaller muscle tensions without exaggerated expressions, dermatologists can even advise delaying its usage until after the age of 35.
The best medical aesthetic centers make use of 3D analyzers for muscles so the margin of error could be brought to as small as 0.2 millimeters.
Preventive treatment can decrease annual total expenses by 20% to 30%. After 3 to 5 injections, the interval between treatments can be extended to more than 8 months.
Contouring the Face
Data indicates that the market demand for facial contouring has increased by 25% in the last three years. According to the Global Medical Aesthetic Market Report, users receiving Botox injections for masseter muscle reduction account for 45% of all Botox users.
In one study involving 1,500 Asians on facial structure, more than 30% were found to have different degrees of masseter hypertrophy, and more than 60% of these were attributed to long-term chewing of hard foods or nighttime teeth grinding. By injecting 20 to 30 units on each side, noticeable softening of facial lines can typically be seen within 2 to 4 weeks.
Clinical trial data indicate that the “segmented injection method” lifts the face height by an average of 1.5 millimeters higher and the effect lasts for 4 to 6 months.
Statistics by the market indicate that the average price for jawline contouring is between 3,000 to 5,000 RMB. On the other hand, reduction of facial bones by surgery can be up to 30,000 RMB. According to big data, after the first try, 85% of users would have injections 2 to 3 times a year.
Research indicates that users who have received injections for more than two years experience only a 60% return to their original masseter volume within 12 months after stopping injections.
At several international medical conferences, the “Nefertiti lift” technique has been applied in over 30 countries and was highly praised in the 2022 Global Medical Aesthetic Innovation Rankings.

Surveys on consumer behavior indicate that over 70% of clients are satisfied with the overall proportion of the face after receiving facial contouring treatment.
Reducing Facial Oiliness
A study reported in the Journal of Skin Research and Therapy documented that more than 65% of people with oily skin had suffered from imperfect oil control in daily life and 40% of them had used all kinds of skincare products, yet to little avail. Clinical trials reveal that the injection of 50 to 70 units of low-dose Botox is able to reduce the activity of sebaceous glands by an average of 30% to 50%.
In a study of 300 subjects, two weeks after injection, facial oil secretion was reduced by an average of 42%, effects lasted 4 to 6 months, and skin radiance scores improved by 25%.
In the U.S. market, a single oil-control injection costs an average of US$200 to US$400, while in the Asian market, the price is generally between 1,000 and 3,000 RMB. It reduced the monthly expenditure on skincare products by around 20% to 30%.
According to consumer behavior data, over 70% of clients reported that makeup was better and could last longer by 2 to 3 hours after receiving Botox for oil control.
Oil-control Botox is typically administered through pinpoint micro-injections, with each injection point receiving only 0.1 to 0.3 milliliters and the entire procedure completed within 10 minutes.
New Botox formulations have improved sebaceous gland suppression effects by 15%. Some medical aesthetic institutions have also introduced sebaceous gland infrared detectors to precisely evaluate patients’ oily skin areas.
The data of a 2023 global beauty market survey shows that the annual growth rate in the oily skin care sector reached 12%. It is expected that the market size will be more than $8 billion by 2025.
According to the research data, among standard-dose injection recipients, only 5% of users reported mild dryness at the beginning of the postoperation period, while the rest returned to normal in two weeks.
Enhancing Skin Smoothness
In the clinical trial involving 2,000 users, 88% reported smoother skin texture and increased radiance of more than 25%, within two weeks after Botox injections.
Up to 60% of clients have reportedly preferred Botox injections for the forehead, glabella, and around the eyes for the purpose of removing dynamic wrinkles and slight irregularities. Some high-end beauty clinics have what they call a “full-face skin rejuvenation plan,” which involves small-dose Botox, using up to 20 to 30 micro-injection points to distribute it evenly over different areas of the face. According to research, this kind of dispersed injection can improve skin fineness by an average of 30%, with overall skin texture improvements lasting 4 to 6 months.
It offers services starting from an average of 3,000 to 5,000 RMB for full-face Botox injections, while the laser skin resurfacing treatments cost around 6,000 to 12,000 RMB. The Botox injections take just about 10 to 15 minutes in total.
According to market research, over 75% of professionals said their skin became much smoother and finer after Botox injections.
With modern techniques of injections, the mantra has been “superficial micro-injections.” Each injection point may have a controlled depth typically within 1 to 2 millimeters and a margin of error not greater than 0.1 millimeters. Superficial fine lines and pore density notably reduced within 4 to 6 weeks, while mean skin smoothness increased on average by 22% in cases treated this way.
Dermatologists report that for those with weak skin barriers and chronic inflammatory conditions of the skin, repair of the skin must be done prior to injections. Younger ones from 25 to 35 years require only 10 to 20 units and noticeably improve smoothness, while over 40 require 30 to 40 units.
Some new Botox products incorporate sustained-release technology, extending the efficacy to 6 to 8 months. High-end medical beauty institutions use 3D facial scanning systems, reducing injection error rates by 15%.
Consumer surveys indicated that more than 80% of users reported feeling their skin had been “completely revitalized” after Botox smooth-skin treatments. The project concerned is likely to increase in market size every year by about 18% for the coming three years
