Is it safe for an Addison’s disease patient to get Dysport?

Question

I have Addison’s disease & hashimotos. I am taking 20mg of hydrocortisol0.2 fludrocortisol, and levothyroxine 50 mg. Is it safe for me to get Dysport in my forehead?

Hi and thank you very much for your question. Yes, it is safe for you to get neurotoxin treatments with Dysport, Botox, Xeomin if you have Addison’s disease. The dysport will not have any negative effect on the disease or the medications you are taking. I recommend you consult with an experienced injector to discuss further. I hope this helped! Best wishes

Yes, you should be able to have Dysport. Keep in mind, it will take 1-2 weeks for final results. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Yes, it should be perfectly safe for you to receive a Dysport injection in your forehead with Addison's disease.  Just let your provider know beforehand and you should have nothing to worry about.

Absolutely yes!  Dysport, like Xeomin and Botox, is a neurotoxin.  Neuromuscular disorders like Eaton-Lambert and Myasthenia Gravis are the type of disorders in which we are supposed to avoid injecting neurotoxins.
Happy holidays to you!

Hi,Neuromodulators such as dysport and botox act locally meaning they do not travel beyond where they are injected. This makes them safe to use in patients with various medical conditions. I would still discuss this with your endocrinologist prior to treatment.Best,

It is perfectly safe for you to have Dysport to your forehead. There is no interaction with the drugs you are taking. It is a great choice for forehead lines provided you don't have low eyebrows to start with.
