Acute acne after Dysport every time. Despite what so many doctors say here, it IS directly related. What component causes this?

I am 46, and have had Dysport injections 3x over almost 4 years to try to correct a droopy eyebrow. EVERY TIME I get stubborn acne in the area of the injections starting a week or two after the injections that finally resolves after a few months. I have always had clear skin, never had acne even as a teenager. After a quick search, I see many other ladies complaining of the same thing, yet the doctors all appear to disregard our claims. Maybe it's time to actually investigate the cause?

I sounds like some muscles involved in making the smile have been affected by the Dysport injection. However, you should be examined to confirm the diagnosis. Best wishes, Dr. ALDO

The effect of the neurotoxin can last up to 6 months for few individuals. but as far as majority of patients, this could be more three to four months period. Be patient and even after few weeks, since the masseter is a strong muscle, you may start have your normal smile back.

You should wait two weeks and see your result. If you're still concerned, then consider having a few more units. Always follow up with your injector at 2 weeks.Warmest regards, Dr. ALDO

Matching concentrations is not needed to get good results. Each patient needs to be treated on an individual basis and their goals. I suggest you have a formal consultation with an experienced injector. Best wishes, Dr. ALDO
