I Am Going in Tomorrow to Get Dysport. What Should I Avoid After the Procedure?

Antibiotics will not affect the results of your treatment. Vigorous exercise, lying down flat, and facial massages should be avoided the day of treatment. Vitamins and medications will not affect the duration of Dysport activity.

You don't have to worry about any antibiotics taken by mouth. There is some concern over some intravenous antibiotics called Aminoglycosides. There are no special precautions etc. THE ONLY CONCERN YOU SHOULD HAVE IS TO GO TO A QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL WHO KNOWS DYSPORT REALLY WELL AND HAS SAFE AND RELIABLE RECORD OF INJECTING DYSPORT.

For anyone preparing for a non-invasive procedure, there are
steps to be aware of before and after you undergo your facial injection. Before
getting any facial fillers, BOTOX® Cosmetic or Dysport®, you should avoid blood
thinning medications, aspirin products, vitamin E, ginseng, gingko biloba, fish
oil, and garlic supplements. Cutting these out will help to decrease bruising
and swelling and will promote faster healing at the injection site. However,
you should consult with a doctor before going off any prescribed supplements or
medicine.



After an injection of Dysport, you should avoid strenuous
exercise for at least a full day, laying down for more than a few hours, and
pressing or massaging the injection areas. It’s important to take it easy on
that first day. Those activities mentioned can cause the injectable to migrate
into other muscles or areas of the face, resulting in an undesired muscle
drooping or decrease in mobility!



Otherwise, after a non-invasive procedure such as a Dysport
injection, you are free to return to work, run light errands, or any other calm
daily activity!

I wish you the best of luck with your procedure.

Dysport, like Botox, is a botulinum toxin which is very effective and safe when injected by highly trained physicians such as dermatologists or plastic surgeons. The main thing I advise avoiding is rubbing the area and laying down flat for 4 hours after the procedure. Not as important, but if you want to reduce risk of bruising (more an issue with fillers), I advise avoiding jaccuzzi/sauna/hottub, and avoiding NSAIDs, aspirin, and other blood thinners such as green tea, ginseng, and gingko biloba. ~ Dr. Benjamin Barankin, Toronto Dermatology Centre.

I tell my patients to avoid exercise for several hours. I also suggest that my patients do not rub the area for several hours after treatment.

After having a treament of Dysport, or other botulinum toxin, I have my patients activate the muscles injected repeatedly for a dozen times.I tell my patients to keep their head up for four hours, not to lie down for 4 to 6 hours, and avoid exercise for same length of time.Avoid any facial treatments such as peels, or facial, etc for 1 to 2 weeks.
