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.

Answer: Botox needs to be CUSTOMIZED The term "baby Botox" was coined due to the overly "frozen" appearance many actresses had from too much Botox. "Baby Botox" means to use smaller amounts so facial expressions are still present yet the wrinkles are improved.The total amount of Botox needed to treat an area can vary widely from just two units all the up to thirty units.We always highly customize our Botox treatments, so I can't say what you would personally require.

Answer: How many units for "baby Botox"? I am not familiar with the term "baby Botox". The amount of Botox used can vary with each patient and the areas that are being treated. I would say a fairly normal dose to treat the horizontal lines on the forehead would be around 20-25 units. If the frown lines between the brows are also being treated, this may also require another 20-25 units. You mentioned the possibility of 30 units being used for your forehead, and this would be a little above average for only the forehead but if the frown area was treated as well, then 30 units would be a little below average for both areas.
