I'm in my early 40's, I've chosen to have Botox injections since I was in my mid 30's. (I attend a board certified Plastic Surgeon/MD, no spa nonsense!) Im healthy, never had any side effects from Botox, EVER if I choose to stop injections, will my face show greater wrinkles because I've paralysed the muscles for a long time. I've been told that I will look horrible, droopy etc if I stop Botox injections. Tired of reading posts here complaining of neg. experiences, they're misleading/scary.

Answer: Is Dysport safe The title of your question is about Dysport, but then your actual posted question is about Botox. So let me answer both:1. Dysport has been used safely around the world for a number of years. It was tested by the FDA and was released to the U.S. market over 5 years ago. Just like Botox, Dysport comes with safety warnings, but in the hands of a professional, with product ordered directly from the manufacturer, and injected in cosmetic doses, it is the same as Botox in efficacy and safety. It's just that Botox has a more well-established name. 2. All neuromodulators inhibit muscle movement. If you stop using them, your facial muscles will function again and move just as they would have. They will NOT suddenly fall and go to the point of aging that they would have if you'd not had treatments all along. This is silly, totally off-base, hogwash. 3. I have not seen any direct relation between Botox and hairloss. There is not "sudden" hairloss for people that never had Botox, and get it, and then have hairloss. There is no direct link. Many people, as they age, experience hair thinning, and this usually hits in the 40s and 50s because the body starts going through different hormonal changes. It doesn't have to do with the Botox.
