Are there any other side effects that one should expect?
The most common side effects of Dysport are: nose and throat irritation, headache, injection site pain, injection site skin reaction, upper respiratory tract infection, eyelid swelling, eyelid drooping, sinus inflammation, and nausea.
Greetings~ We have had very few patients ever complain of headache following Dysport or Botox treatments. If headache does occur, it generally follows the course of a regular tension headache for most patients and is alleviated with Tylenol or ibuprofen. I have found most patients that do get a mild headache are new to Dysport or Botox treatments and it may be induced more from nervousness and anxiety about injections rather than the product itself. (Patients will often hold their breath or become tense prior to injection which can contribute) Even patients that have gotten headaches following injections wouldn't say it's a deterrent from future treatment. Most patients that suffer from headaches generally find their headaches overall improve or lessen in frequency after injections with Botox or Dysport. Good luck~ Dr. Grant Stevens
