How safe are Dysport injections? Is DYSPORT poisoning real? Any correlation Botox & HAIR LOSS?

Thank you for sharing your Botox experience. The vast majority of patients are extremely happy with her treatments. The same goes for Dysport.  Neither product is associated with hair loss. If you stop treating altogether, then you will have only delayed the onset of the dynamic lines from coming back and leading to some static lines over time.

Dysport has the absolute same safety profile as Xeomin and Botox.  It is important to understand that these products represent a huge drug market.  These folks are not exactly in friendly competition.  I am not accusing a particular company of having a whisper campaign against a competitor.  However representatives of these various manufactures, when they visit the doctors office do not always say things that are well supported by the medical literature.  This I think has lead to a situation where a tiny but vocal few souls are convinced that they have been permanently wrecked by a product that when injected in 12 million others produces a mild improvement in facial expression that lasts about 4 months and then completely wears off.  I think we should keep an open mind.  Perhaps there is some sort of idiosyncratic ( meaning unusual, and rarely occurring) reaction that occurs in 1 in 2 or 3 million individuals which causes the type of reaction described by these individuals posting on Realself.  The science is out on this.  Whatever it might be it is so very rare, that I think it would be very reasonable to ignore this.  The track record of these products really do place them among the safest and best studies drug products available.  If you are nervous about it, don't do cosmetic botulinum toxin.  I read about plane crashes and I don't like it one bit.  On the other had we all know that flying a commercial airline is very safe with a rate of death that is a tiny fraction of the risk of driving in a car.  So given the choice of staying home or flying on a plane, most of use are able to put aside concerns about very rare events and hop on a plane.I think if you choose to stop doing cosmetic botulinum toxin, yes, I think you will miss this wonderful service but no you are not going suddenly look horrible.  The treatment is very safe, and stopping treatment is very safe.   I personally wish I had a way to reach out to the person who posts here on Realself with reports that they have been wrecked by Dysport and help them get better.  I recognize that just because this person is convince of the truth of their beliefs, what they are describing is not very likely.  Something else may be going on and I hope they get the medical care they may need.

Botox or Dysport injections are overwhelming safe if injected by a highly trained a skilled injector.  It will have no long term deleterious effects and the muscles will eventually return to normal after stopping Botox injections.  You will not have excess wrinkles from long term Botox use.  In fact, the opposite would be true.  You will have less wrinkles from long term Botox use.I am unaware of any connections between Botox and hair loss.I hope this helps.  

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.
