Am I high risk for allergic reaction to Dysport or Botox?

Allergies to Dysport are very rare.  However, communicate your concerns to your provider.  You may initially want to do a spot test before getting a full treatment.  If you are allergic to Dysport or any of its ingredients, cow’s milk protein, or if you have had an allergic reaction to any other botulinum toxin product, such as Botox®, or Xeomin®, or have a skin infection at the planned injection site, you should NOT get Dysport Injections.  Best wishes, Dr. Aldo :-)

True allergies to Botox and Dysport have not been reported.  There is potential to react to the preservative in the saline or the cow milk protein in Dysport.  However, this would be very rare.  Speak with a Board-Certified specialist about all of your medical history and concerns prior to injections.  Best of luck.

Thank you for your question. There has been no reports of true allergies to Dysport. There is the potential to react to the preservative in the saline or the cow milk protein in Dysport. However, this is very rare. I recommend voicing your concerns with your injector and having a spot test prior to treatment. Best of Luck!
