Can Heat Help Metabolize Dysport Faster?

I am extremely unhappy with Dysport injections I had done for crows feet. I now have big bags under my eyes that are very pronounced especially when I smile. My provider said that heat can help speed up the metabolizing of the Dysport and to apply warm compresses to the areas once a day for 15 - 20 minutes. I have been doing this much more than that for the last week hoping to see some change. I can't find any information to support this claim so I am hoping a Dr. out there can respond.

The nerves have to actually regnerate new signalling molecules to start working again, and there is no way to speed that... more

Dysport and under eye bags

Dysport does not usually cause under eye bags.  However, if you are a person whose eyes swell easily, Dysport or Botox could make that problem worse.  The reason is that the muscles under yours eyes pump away fluid in the tissue when you blink.  If the Dysport was given to the lower part of your crowsfeet and very close to the area under your eye, it may make your swelling worse by temporarily weakening the muscles that pump away the fluid. If you are swelling a lot... more
