Dysport risks
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...

Safety of Dysport for Wrinkles
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...

Botox, Dysport and Xeomin safety
Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are all botulinum type A molecules. Botox and Dysport have different proteins associated with them. Xeomin has no proteins associated with it.

The most common side effects can include headache and bruising. There is a very low risk of ptosis, or eyelid droop...

Dysport for the Forehead
Greetings~
The risks/side effects for the forehead are for the most part similar to other areas of the face--bruising, swelling, redness, headache, soreness. The forehead is actually the area that less experienced injectors may find problematic. Too much Dysport or placing the injections too close to the brow can cause a flattened brow arch or droopy eyelid. These reactions are not seen (or extremely rarely) when injecting the glabella (between the brows) or...

Dysport for forehead wrinkles
Dysport is quite similar to Botox and both are safe and effective in treating dynamic wrinkles such as those on the forehead. If injected properly by a highly trained specialist such as a dermatologist or plastic surgeon, at the right depth and location, you should have no problems.

Safety Dysport
I
think that Dysport is safe enough to have it in my own forehead. There are some side effects that one can have but they are relatively minor. You can have little bruises(not common), headache(more common for it to relieve a headache), heaviness of brow(if too much, too low, or very sensitive). I think that if you have an experienced doctor do this you will most likely be very pleased.

Dysport Use in the Forehead
Dysport works very well, is very safe, and produces very good results in both the central lower forehead (glabella) and horizontal forehead lines (frontalis muscle activity). Safety concerns are similar to use of Botox

Any of the botulinum toxin products have concerns if not performed precisely.
These products are very safe when used according to preferred practice methods and FDA approved treatment guidelines. Treatments that deviate from these methods create the risk of unwanted side effects. For Dysport, Xeomin, and BOTOX, treatment placed too close the eyebrow can cause diffusion into the eyelid with the potential for creating a heavy eyelid. Microdroplet methods substantially reduce this risk.
