Because injection techniques do vary, consider trying service with another injector and seeing if this makes any difference.

Dysport and Headache Pain
Both Dysport and Botox can be associated with a post-treatment headache. However, in my experience, the incidence is rather small (less than 5%).

Dysport/botox headache
Headaches can occur as a result of these injections but in my experience they are not common and don't last more than a day or two. Some might last only hours. More commomly, these injections relieve headaches.
