Side effects after Perlane and Dysport

Some people report that they have sinus issues and/or acne after various treatments.

Additionally, it's flu and cold season, so it's hard to say if your sinus issue is from Dysport or simply timing. If you've had Dysport before and this is always the case, then maybe, but if it's a one-off thing, it's probably mere... more

Acne not likely.

SInus issue depends on the sinus issue. The sensation of congestion could be a mild systemic side effect of botulinum toxin treatment. If this is something that consistently happens to you after a BT treatment, then you have to weight how bothersome the symptoms are against the aesthetic benefits of the treatment.

Hello gentlemen, I just came back from my doctors. I sadly have a staph infection. THIS is a side effect from any kind of surgery. So the boils and acne and sinus is due to infection. I am happy I have found my answers. There are side effects and the chances we woman take. Thanks for your time.
