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

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,
