There are some thoughts that excess Vitamin E may be associated with bleeding which could interfered with Botulinum Toxin (Dysport or Botox) injections. otherwise I am not aware of any other Vitamin interactions.
Stopping vitamins prior to Botox injections, especially those that include blood thinning properties (Vit E, etc) is beneficial to reduce the risk of bruising. There is some evidence, although less than scientific as of today, that Zinc supplements can decrease the gap between injection and effective results as well as improving total effectiveness of the drug....but the real scientific verdict is out.

There has been no evidence of which I am aware that the effectiveness of Botox or Dysport is affected by vitamins. You might avoid separate vitamin E supplements prior to the injections to minimize bruising but that is not related to the Botox specifically.
You do not have to stop taking vitamins before Botox treatments. Some vitamins can increase chances of bruising, but bruises are not usually a significant problem with Botox injections. Only stop taking all your vitamins before the injections (2 weeks) if you are concerned about bruising.
Vitamins will not affect the longevity of the result after botox injections. Just keep in mind that large doses of vitamin E may increase the risk of bruising. Normal doses (daily requirements) will not alter anything.
