I am allergic to cow's milk and have a mild intolerance to eggs. Is Botox/Dysport an option?

Question

David C. Yao, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for asking. Some patients with milk protein allergies have issues with Dysport product. Botox can be helpful for many patients. Hope this helps! Best wishes!

You should not have any issues getting Botox even though you are allergic to dairy products and also eggs.

You can have Botox or Xeomin with lactose intolerance. While I've never seen someone with lactose intolerance become ill with Dysport, it may be recommended to avoid it. Botox results take 1-2 weeks. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Botox would be safe for you but would avoid dysport . Both are equally effective so you would do fine.
