Dysport Headache - How Long Will It Last?

It is common to experience a headache after or Dysport injections. This occurs in about 25% of people and lasts a few hours. What you are describing sounds like something slightly different. It is likely that your muscles are paralyzed, yet you are subconsiously trying to contract those muscles....and because they do not work, you are feeling pain like a tension headache. This is not uncommon and goes away in about a week after your body adjusts to this.  Your nerves are like an electrical wire, and the elctricity (nerve impulse) still works after Botox or Dysport, but the light does not goe on (the muscle does not move).

Thank you for your question. This is a rare side effect of Dysport. Dysport can cause vision changes when it spreads to the muscles that control the movement of the eye. This is very rare and is often due to poor injection placement. Unfortunately, there is no way to reverse Dysport and will take time to resolve. I recommend following up with your ophthalmologist. Best of Luck!
