Thank you for your question. I would not worry too much if you had Dysport and found out you were pregnant. Dysport works locally where it was injected and the dosing is very small. The makers of Dysport would never consider sponsoring a study to see the safety of Dysport during pregnancy or breast feeding as it would be too risky for them. Likewise, for physicians. I generally provide reassurance for situations like yours and I do recommend that you stop any future injectable treatments until either the baby is born and after breast feeding. I would also let you OB know that you had a Dysport treatment during pregnancy so they are aware.
Although no adverse effects on the fetus or baby have been reported, neither Dysport nor Botox is recommended while pregnant or while breastfeeding.
It is not recommended that Dysport be used in woment who are pregnant or breastfeeding. I would not inject Botox, Dysport, or any filler until after a women has finished breastfeeding.
There are no studies showing adverse reactions due to botox for pregnant women, especially that it is only meant to affect the muscles directly beneath the skin and dosage is very low. But it is better to err on the side of caution. Please contact a qualified provider or a board-certified physician with extensive experience in these procedures.
Though there isn’t any evidence that Dysportnegatively affects a growing fetus, I would warn against having any suchinjections while pregnant. It is always better to be on the safe side and toexercise caution in situations that are not mandatory, such as cosmetictreatments. If possible, I recommend that you wait until after you have givenbirth and are finished nursing to proceed with your Dysport injections. If youare worried about a Dysport injection that happened prior to knowing you werepregnant, consult your OBGYN for further guidance.
Neither Dysport nor Botox is recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Many women have gotten pregnant subsequent to a treatment, and no report adverse effects on the fetus or baby have been reported. However, since there are no published studies testing Botulinum Toxin A on pregnant nor breast feeding women, we do not have a complete understanding of the effects on the fetus or on the baby is unknown. It is not worth the risk.
Neither Dysport nor Botox is recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Toughing it out for a few months is best in order to provide the safest environment for baby.
I would not recommend any Dysport and/or Botox during pregnancy. There have been many women who have gotten pregnant after their injections and have had no complications but why take any chances.
It is not recommended to inject Botox, or Dysport while you are pregnant.If you get pregnant after the Dysport was injected there is no evidence it can cause any problem.
I would not do Dysport or Botox if you were pregnant. If you are trying to get pregnant you may want to avoid these neuromodulators. If you get pregnant you will probably be fine. Many women have gotten pregnant after injections and have been fine. But why take any chances, if you are trying to get pregnant. After an injection Dysport stays locally where placed and does not go through the body. It should be out of your system in 3-6 months.
Most injectors will consider 2.5 - 3 Dysport units to be equivalent to 3 Botox units. So, 25 units of Botox would be roughly equivalent to 75 units of Dysport. While this is not an exact conversion rate, only 2 times the number of Botox units would typically be an inadequate number of Dysport...

These products are very similar in their mechanism of action and side effects. They can both normally be used in the same patient without any issues. Usually waiting the normal 3-4 months between treatments should be sufficient. Your injector can determine how much of the product you will need...
