The term "baby botox" gets tossed around, I am wondering how many units that would be?

early 30s, no real lines unless concentrating (reading/computer/etc) . After years of tanning in my teens and some mild acne on my forehead, will botox help smooth out and prevent the frown wrinkle from creating make up lines? I still want to have movement in my forehead. I mentioned this to a dermatologist and he said 30 units is what he injects for botox. I thought that seemed rather high, especially after he said I really don't have any lines and only a frown line when I am frowning.
