How Safe is Dysport Application on the Forehead for Deep Wrinkles?

The risks for Dysport are the same as for Botox namely bruising, headache, soreness, malaise and flu-like feeling. More than these though are the undesirable effects of Botulinum Toxin if it spreads to areas not intended, like the upper eyelid muscles, which causes drooping, also known as ptosis. This is fortunately very uncommon among  experienced injectors. The main issue about injecting the forehead is determining the effect the treatment will have on the position and thus the appearance of the eyebrows. Patients think that if you inject the forehead it will cause a browlift. It actually is almost the opposite. Treating the forehead can cause the brows to drop since this is the main muscle that actually lifts the brow. it is important to have your injector examine you well for signs that might show that your brows will drop more than you want, or give you an odd "Spockish" appearance. Hope this helps.

Dysport injections at the forehead carry the same risks and side effects as injections to other areas of the face, most of which are mild and temporary. Pain, bleeding, bruising at the injection site, and headache are some of the common side effects. Rarely, you may experience drooping/heaviness at the eyebrows. This can last for 4-8 weeks and will improve, but unfortunately there is not much you can do except wait. Some patients experience "spock eyebrows" which can easily be corrected by adding a small amount of Dysport. 

Thank you for your question. Dysport on the forehead works to relax muscles of facial expression. Side effects can include headache, bruising, mild discomfort, and drooping of the brows if injected too low. This is very similar to other areas injected with Dysport. Be certain to be under the supervision of a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon with expertise in injectables who can evaluate if you are a good candidate and for the safest and most effective treatments. I hope this helps.
