I received dysport in forehead along with juvederm in laugh lines. I had a red bump at one injection site that had swelling the size of a silver dollar around it. My Dr put me on antibiotics for infection. 2 weeks later I still have a red nodule at the injection site. Dr thinks it is a cyst. I am going to see a dermatologist now. The weird part is that this happened years ago after a Botox injection. I've had several injections since with no issue. Dr says he has never seen this before. Anyone?

You need to go back and show your injector what is going on. If you're not comfortable with your new injector then reach out to the person you used before this last experience. Best, Dr. ALDO
Direct sun exposure will not affect either Botox or Dysport. I agree with the other doctors, that long-term sun block is important for a more youthful appearance. Best, Dr. ALDO
