Can I have Dysport injections while pregnant? Is it safer than Botox?

The safety of Dysport orBotox injections while pregnant or breast feeding has not been established.  There are not enough studies to prove its safety.  Is recommended to wait till after you stop breastfeeding. Is always better to be safe.

Hello,It is advised NOT to use Botox or Dysport when pregnant. There is not enough evidence to suggest use of these products when pregnant or nursing is safe. All the best.

Hello,DO NOT use dysport or BOTOX during pregnancy or breast-feeding as safety has not been established

Hi,Thank you for your question.As many others have mentioned, the safety of dysport and botox has not been established in pregnant or breastfeeding patients. Most injectors will err on the side of caution and recommend delaying treatment until after completion of breastfeeding. Though the risk is probably small, it's best to avoid non-essential cosmetic procedures while pregnant or breastfeeding.Hope this helps!

We do not perform Botox or Dysport on patients that are pregnant or breastfeeding. There are not enough studies to recommend the treatment during this time period. 

Neither one is recommended while you're pregnant. Dermal fillers are also not an option while pregnant or breastfeeding. You should avoid these until you're no longer pregnant or breastfeeding.Good luck, Dr. ALDO 

Hi RodinaGerges,I always advise my patients NOT to have any injections while pregnant. As with most medications, there is not enough data to be certain that Botox and Dysport are safe during pregnancy, so they should be avoided (since they are not medically necessary). 

Hi there,

No, you should not get Dysport (or Botox) injections while pregnant — neither is considered safe during pregnancy.

There are no well-controlled human studies proving the safety of botulinum toxin type A (the active ingredient in both Dysport and Botox) during pregnancy. While the amount of toxin used cosmetically is very low, it’s still a neurotoxin. There is a theoretical risk of it spreading systemically, which could potentially affect the developing fetus.

It is best to wait until after delivery (and breastfeeding, if applicable) to resume cosmetic neurotoxin treatments.

It is recommended that you avoid all neuromodulator treatments including Botox and Dysport while pregnant. There is simply not enough data to ensure that it is safe so it's better to err on the side of caution.

I would advise against it. It is advised to stop all botulism products during pregnancy as well as during breast feeding.
