How Many Dysport Units Do You Need for Your Forehead?

Dysport is a popular, fast-acting injectable for softening forehead lines, but how many units do you actually need?

This is one of the most common questions we hear at Savvy Rejuvenation & IV Bar, especially from first-time clients or those comparing Dysport to Botox.

The answer? It depends on factors like your muscle strength, wrinkle depth, and desired look.

Whether you want subtle smoothing or more dramatic rejuvenation, knowing what influences your dosage can help you feel informed and confident.

In this guide, we break down how Dysport works, how many units are typically needed for forehead treatment, and what to expect at your appointment.

How Dysport Works for Forehead Wrinkles

Dysport is a botulinum toxin type A formulation that relaxes the underlying muscles, causing forehead furrows.

Because Dysport is more diluted than Botox, it spreads over a wider area, making it a popular choice for smoothing expansive regions like the forehead.

How Many Units of Dysport Are Recommended for the Forehead?

Typical ranges for forehead treatment are:

• 20–30 units of Dysport in many cases.
• 30–60 units for deeper, more expressive wrinkles.

Our approach is always personalized. Through a tailored consultation, we assess your specific anatomy to determine the optimal dosage for natural-looking results.

Dysport vs. Botox: Understanding Unit Conversion

It's essential to know that Dysport and Botox units are not the same:

• Roughly 3 units of Dysport equal 1 unit of Botox
• The onset of effects is faster with Dysport (2–3 days) compared to Botox (around a week), though both last approximately 3–4 months

Factors That Affect the Number of Dysport Units Needed

Several key factors influence ideal dosage:

• Muscle strength: Stronger forehead muscles may require higher units.
• Wrinkle depth and extent: Deeper lines and larger areas often need more product.
• Desired look: Some clients prefer softer movement rather than full paralysis.
• Previous response: Adjustments are made based on past outcomes.

Our skilled practitioners listen to your goals and evaluate movement patterns to recommend precisely how much Dysport is right for you.

FAQs: Everything You Need to Know About Dysport Units and Dosage

• Does 30 units sound like a lot? Not necessarily. It's common for many forehead treatments and is significantly less than the ~100 units required for full-face coverage.
• Will I look frozen? Safety and finesse are a priority—we aim for a natural, refreshed outcome, not stiffness.
• How do I know if I need more units later? A follow-up allows us to assess and adjust dosage as needed.
