Dysport
We always discourage patients from engaging in strenuous activity and/or massaging the treated area whether it is Botox or Dysport that they were treated with. We do not want to encourage the ability for the Dysport to disperse into areas that were not intended for treatment.

Sleeping face down
The one thing that we tell every patient following injections of Botox, Dysport, etc. is that you need to be careful bending over for the first four hours. This is due to not wanting the substance to disperse into areas that may be detrimental. Once the liquid is absorbed into the muscle, there is not much you can do to alter the results. If you really sleep face down into the pillow, I would certainly get the injection in the morning, to maximize the time for the toxin to be absorbed. I...

Sleeping on Dysport injected area
In my experience, Sleeping face down should not effect the results of dysport. However I recommend all of my patients to refrain from rubbing or messaging the dysport injected areas for the first 24 hours, along with refraining from strenuous activity, or any heavy lifting. The reason for this is to make sure that the dysport does not move to unwanted areas. If dysport moves to an unwanted muscle it has the potential to cause ptosis, which can cause the eyelid to droop.

Sleeping Position after Dysport?
Hi Frankie. Your sleeping position will not affect your Dysport results. The only recommendation we would make about Dyport and sleeping is not to lie down for about 4 hours after your injections. This could lead to a higher dispersion (spread) than intended and lead to ptosis (eye lid or brow sagging). Good luck.

Sleeping positions after Dysport
Within 20 to 90 minutes after it is injected, botulinum neurotoxin type A can be detected inside the motor nerve endings. Therefore the muscles and nerve endings take up the Botox or Dysport very quickly before they can spread far from the injection site. I tell my patients they are free to do anything they choose 1 1/2 hours after their injections. The position in which you sleep will similarly have no adverse effects.

Sleep after Dysport
Going to sleep face down several hours after injection should not affect your dysport. Sleep as you like but some do recommend( do) not lying down for four hours after injection.

Sleep in whatever position you'd like
You can sleep in whatever position you are comfortable. I don't recommend people push or manipulate their faces after Dysport, but other than that you can sleep, exercise, travel, etc.

Sleeping and Dysport
Greetings~
Sleeping face down will not change or ruin the results from Dysport, but over time, sleeping on your face can cause lines and wrinkles that can't be addressed with Dysport since they are not caused by muscle contraction but rather your skin perhaps folding and being pressed into a position repeatedly.
Be well and sleep well~

Dysport and sleeping
Sleeping face down several hours after dysport inejction should have no effect on the dysport injection result.

It is highly improbable that how you sleep will have any bearing on the treatment.
Hours after treatment the dysport has been absorbed by the muscle. You pillow is not going to push the products anywhere. It is safe to sleep as you like.
