Would 30 units of Dysport help reduce forehead lines?

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.

Clinical Context

Brow position before treatment matters as much as the dose. During your visit, the injector checks resting brow height, forehead muscle strength, and how you use your eyebrows expressively before deciding on placement and amount. People with naturally low or heavy brows may need a different injection pattern to avoid a heavy, hooded look. Let your injector know how you respond so future sessions can be fine-tuned to your anatomy.
