How long typically can headaches last after Dysport injections?

If a headache occurs after Dysport, it usually resolves in a few days. It takes 1-2 weeks for final results with Dysport. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question. I believe that headaches will usually last a few days after Dysport injections. Give it a few days and if the headaches persist you may need to see a physician to discuss your symptoms. 

Occasionally patients complain of a headache after a Dysport treatment. These are typically mild and last no more than a day or two. Taking an over the counter pain reliever such as Tylenol can usually manage the symptoms.

A small percent of patients receive headaches following the treatment on the first day. It may last for a few hours to a few days. This is very rare and should be very temporary.

Headaches after treatment with a neuromodulator such as Botox or Dysport typically last a few hours to a few days. You may treat your headache with a pain reliever like Tylenol or Advil; take the medication as directed for relief until it resolves. The result of the neuromodulator itself may take up to 2 weeks for full effect.

headaches after neuromodulators (botox/dysport) though rare do happen at times. I have found that most are with new patients experiencing the procedure for the first time. Others can be from injecting too deep and irritating the bone or just the stress of the procedure. in general they are very short lived and respond to tylenol or advil type medications.

Headaches can occasionally occur after Botox or Dysport treatment and can last anywhere from a few hours to a few days. 

Thank you for your question. Sometimes headaches can occur after Dysport or Botox treatment. However this is a temporary side effect and should resolve within a few days. However, if your headaches do persist please follow up with your injector. Best of Luck!

Headaches can last for a few days after injections. It is okay to use Advil during this time. 

Headaches can occur after a Dysport/Botox treatment. The good news is that it is a temporary side effect and should resolve within a few days.  You may want to try Botox for your next treatment. Sometimes a patient who has headaches after Dysport will not after Botox and vice versa.
