Dysport Post-Care Instructions
- Movement: For the first two hours after your treatment, make sure to gently move the muscles in the treated areas to help the product settle properly.
- Aftercare: Do not touch, massage, or apply pressure to the treated areas for at least 8 hours. This helps prevent the Dysport from spreading to unintended areas.
- Clothing and Resting: Avoid wearing hats or lying down for several hours post-injection. Lying down too soon could cause the product to migrate.
- Exercise: Hold off on any vigorous activities, including exercise and yoga, for at least 8 hours. You can resume other normal daily activities right after treatment.
- Alcohol and Medications: Avoid alcohol for the first 24 hours to reduce the risk of bruising and swelling. Try to avoid taking aspirin, NSAIDs like Aleve, Motrin, Ibuprofen or high doses of Vitamin E for 2-3 days before and after your treatment to decrease bruising.
- Pain Management: If you experience a headache, Tylenol is recommended. Avoid NSAIDs as they can increase bruising.
- Immediate Side Effects: Any bumps or swelling should subside within an hour. If bruising occurs, it usually resolves within a week. Mild pain, swelling, itching, or redness at the injection site can occur; applying cold compresses or taking Tylenol can help.
- Makeup: You may gently apply makeup after the treatment.
