Dysport should not be used during pregnancy
When it comes to pregnancy we do not have enough information to answer most questions. To be safe you should wait for about 4 months after your last injection of dysport before you try to conceive.

Pregnancy & Neuromodulators Not Studies
The question of the safety of neuromodulators and pregnancy has never been fully answered and you cannot get a definitive answer. It would be unethical to perform such a study...so it will never be done. Having said that, there is some data from the manufacturers that shows that patients who received neuromodulators while unknowingly pregnant have gone on to deliver without problems for either the mother or baby. This data was compiled as a result of concerned...

Dysport & Pregnancy
Hi Keren. You do not need to wait to begin trying to get pregnant. Although there are no studies on pregnancy and Dysport, most physicians will tell you that there is little or no risk of the product affecting your baby.
With that said, no responsible physician would treat you at a time they knew you were pregnant because it is an unnecessary risk. If you want the product to be completely gone from the body, then 4 months is enough time to wait. Good luck.

I would not recommend having Dysport if you are considering getting pregnant. I would also discuss with both your gynecologist and your cosmetic surgeon as to how long they prefer you wait after a treatment to get pregnant.

Dysport and pregnancy
Dear kernhib,
I would wait until after pregnancy before going for your next rejuvenation
There have not been any studies in pregnant humans, but I would not take that risk
If you decide to breastfeed, then you should wait until you are no longer breastfeeding as well
With that said, I hope your wishes are fulfilled

Dysport and Pregnancy
Thank you for your question. I would recommend getting the advise from your Ob/Gyn. Dysport lasts an average of 3-4 months. After the effects have completely worn off, I would not receive any further injections and this may be an appropriate time to start trying. I hope this helps.

Is It Ok To Get Pregnant Shortly After Dysport Treatment?
Neurotoxins such as Dysport (Botox, Xeomin) tend to remain in the areas where injected. They do not typically migrate or spread through the body. While there are no official studies demonstrating that there is no harm getting pregnant shortly after a neurotoxin treatment, it most likely does not cause any harm or risk. That being said, you may want to wait until you feel the effects have worn off (typically 4 to 5 months) just to play it safe and not worry about it.

Pregnancy following Dysport
In general, the Dysport will be localized to the area it was injected and will not migrate throughout the body. In general, it should pose no risk to a pregnancy. However, there is no documented research that proves there is no risk. With that being said, you may want to wait until the effects of Dysport wear off. This is 3 months on average, and may last longer. I would recommend speaking with your physician for any further advice. Thank you and I hope this helps!

Pregnancy and Dysport
I agree with my colleagues. Generally speaking, all of the data we have on any kind pregnancy complication caused by medicinal intervention accumulates over years and is not part of a planned study. In short, we don't do studies on pregnant women. So we often err on the side of caution. Dysport injection is a good example--we don't know if there's an effect, so we suggest not getting it during pregnancy (or becoming pregnant while it is still in effect--3-4 months.) That's to be on...

Are Botox or Dysport safe in pregnancy? How long to wait?
Kerenhib,
No one has studied the real safety issues with Dysport or Botox in pregnancy or breastfeeding, so most doctors err on the side of caution and will not treat a woman who is considering pregnancy, pregnant, or breast feeding with these injectable neuromodulators. Though technically they stay attached to the muscle in the local area where they are injected, everyone wants to be safe. Each lasts an average amount of time, but that can vary between people. Dysport can last 3 to 6...

Pregnancy after Dysport
There is no testing done on pregnant women or breast feeding women with any types of injectables including Botox, Dysport, or fillers. There is no proof it harms the developing fetus, but no information that it doesn't either. While physicians would tell you that if you did a treatment and then found out you were pregnant, it should not be alarming or disconcerting, but we don't recommend doing these types of treatments when you are pregnant or trying to become pregnant. Thus, Dysport is...

Pregnancy after Dysport
There is no definitive answer as to how long one should wait to get pregnant after Dysport (or Botox) because it's not something that has been medically studied. Normally, the effects of Dysport would be gone by 6 months. So, if you wanted to be very safe, I would say you should wait 6 months. In reality, there is most likely no harm in getting pregnant at the current time because the Dysport is not circulating throughout your body, but just staying in the areas were it was...
