Would 30 units of Dysport help reduce forehead lines?

Hello,

It would first be important to schedule a in person consult with your provider. A in person consult with your provider will further allow them to evaluate how many units are needed in a certain area or for your forehead lines. Some people have stronger forehead lines than others and require more units in that area.

Hi,Thank you for your question.It's difficult to give a clear answer without evaluating you in person.Depending on the strength of the frontalis muscle, 30U may be sufficient or it may be too much. Generally speaking, 30U for the forehead is a moderate amount of units. The forehead muscle is the only brow elevator in your face so it's always best to be conservative when treating this muscle as over-treatment may cause heaviness or brow ptosis.Hope this helps!

Thank you for your question. Without photos or a face to face consult, it is difficult to assess the amount of Dysport units needed to reduce your forehead lines. The dose depends on factors such as your age, severity of wrinkles, muscle strength, facial symmetry and your personal goals. If placed appropriately, 30 units of Dysport in the forehead (clinically known as the frontalis) will generally improve existing wrinkles. However, in some cases up to 60 units are needed for one treatment. It is very common to also treat the muscles (corrugators and glabella) that create lines between the eyebrows when treating the frontalis. This area is usually injected with 36-48 units. It is important to consult with an experienced injector to create a unique plan for your desired results, and to provide you with a safe and effective treatment.
Best of luck,

It will depend on the severity of the wrinkles, but this may provide improvement for horizontal forehead lines. It will take 1-2 weeks for final results. Hope this helps.

This is difficult to answer without pictures. This dosage may improve horizontal forehead lines. It will take 1-2 weeks for final results. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

The proper number of units of Dysport to use will depend on the injector's evaluation of the area of concern. Thirty units of Dysport can reduce forehead lines, but an assessment would be needed to determine if that number is adequate for the desired result. It is important to always see an expert injector for treatment.

The administration of botox/dysport is a highly technical procedure. There are so many factors to consider to determine if you are a good candidate for it, best neurotoxin to use, the right amount, injection technique, etc. Please contact a qualified provider or a board-certified physician with extensive experience in these procedures.

While it is difficult to say without an in-person consultation, 30 units of Dysport in the forehead would be enough to have some effect.  There is a chance you may need more depending on the results you hope to achieve.  That being said, you can always receive more Dysport, but you cannot remove it once injected.  I would recommend waiting 2 weeks until the full-effects come in and then scheduling a follow-up visit with your provider to go over your results.

On average, I inject about 22.5 units to the forehead.  Appropriate dose can vary from 7.5 units to 75 units depending on the size of forehead, degree of wrinkling, and desired effects.

It is hard to say without seeing a photo, however our recommended dose for that portion of the face is anywhere from 45-60 units. I would say that 30 would likely not be enough, unless you have a very small forehead. You could always try it and if you don't notice much of a difference you would know that you need more next time.
