Could a Hot Compress Increase/affect Diffusion of Dysport?

nightshaydeSep 7, 2011
I had dysport on my forehead a week ago for the first time. After a few days I had a headache so I used one of those pillows that you put in the microwave and heat up.. I use this a lot usually. A few days had passed so I was hoping it would have no effect on the treatment. Now I'm feeling as though the effects are a bit stronger than I was wanting, although I know the Dr made efforts to be conservative. Im wondering if I possibly increased diffusion more than intended with the heat. thank you:>

It is not very common to bruise after Dysport or Botox. Depending on who or how the injections are administered there is always a possibility. Taking Advil or any blood thinners a few days leading up to the treatment can increase your chances of bruising. If you do bruise, it should be a small...
