Is botox/ dysport 'flu' real?

Question

I got dysport and two days later my back, more speficially my whole spine, was oddly sore. I felt fine otherwise. Lasted only about two days then went away. Is additional neurotoxin in the future a bad idea/ was this a reaction?

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

Where was the Dyport injected? This is not a common reaction from a neurotoxin treatment of the face.  I encourage you to speak to your injector about your concerns.

Hello! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Aesthetic Skin. This is a great question. Patients may experience mild side effects following treatment with neurotoxins. These side effects are temporary and should not raise any concern for future treatments. If you have any other questions, I highly recommend scheduling an in-person consultation in order to better assess your areas of concern and discuss an appropriate treatment plan to help achieve your aesthetic goals. Our office phone number is: (312) 944-0117, just call and ask for Jess :) I hope this helps and best of luck!
