Does sun exposure after getting Botox or dysport affect the effects?

Direct sun exposure will not affect either Botox or Dysport. I agree with the other doctors, that long-term sun block is important for a more youthful appearance. Best, Dr. ALDO

Sun exposure should not directly affect the results from Botox or Dysport injections. One should continue, however, using routine sun block and sun protection methods for skin health.Best,Dr. Chaboki

Thank you for your question about Dysport.Sun exposure should not affect the results of Dysport or Botox Cosmetic
To be sure what is right for you, see two or more experienced,
licensed and board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation
to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have
treatment.
I hope this helps.

Sun exposure would have no effect on your results from Botox or Dysport.  However, it is always good to protect yourself from the sun with an SPF for general skin maintenance.  Good Luck.

Having said that, no sun does not interact with the injected botulinum toxin.  Not to worry.  However, what are you doing out in the sun that you feel compelled to contact us with this question?  Please use sun screen, please protect yourself from the harmful effects of the sun.  But no, it has no effect on your recent treatment.

Thank you for sharing your question. Sun exposure will not effect the results of your treatment with Dysport or Botox. Obviously, use sun protection to minimize further damage to your skin.Good luck,

No, sun exposure will not affect the effects after receiving Botox. I advocate daily use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen—particularly after receiving cosmetic wrinkle treatments as the results of these wrinkle treatments won’t last if you continue to get unprotected sun exposure.The reason: Exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays (which can even penetrate through car and office windows) breaks down collagen and elastin in the skin, damaging the DNA of skin cells (the genetic coding that determines how your skin ages). This process triggers premature aging of the skin (e.g. fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, dryness, and loss of elasticity), as well as skin cancer.

This is a very common question i get from my patients and the answer is no; sun exposure does not affect the results you get from botox/dysport injection. That said, using a sunscreen cream(30SPF) will definitely delay skin aging and protect you from various skin lesions.

Sun exposure will not directly affect your Dysport or Botox treatment but it is important to wear sunscreen and protect your skin from sun damage and prevent future signs of aging.

There are no adverse effects if an individual is exposed to the sun after injections with Botox or Dysport.  Avoid certain medications that can increase your risk before bruising for at least one week prior to injections.  Examples are Ibuprofen and Aspirin.  I would recommend always applying sunscreen prior to sun exposure to help preserve the skin quality.
