What can I do about involuntary muscle spasms after Dysport? (Photo)

June 24, 2018
Asked By:Mayella in Los Angeles, CA

My rather thick glabella was injected with 75 units of Dysport 2 weeks ago. Already I‘m having muscle spasming in both the muscles injected AND adjacent muscles. It happens when I frown too hard (they get locked into place) or when I touch anywhere around my eyebrows. The muscles swell up for minutes at a time, it’s so ugly. What should I do? Am I just a bad candidate for Botox/Dysport and should I let it wear off? Was it a bad injection technique? Photo is of muscles during a spasm.
