Do not rub or massage treated areas
Rubbing or pressing the injection sites can irritate the skin and is not a substitute for a follow-up. Keep skincare gentle and ask the injector when facial treatments, facials, or massage can resume.
Do not add treatments too quickly
Avoid scheduling another neuromodulator, filler, laser, peel, or aggressive facial treatment until the treating clinician says it is appropriate. Combining treatments without coordination can make side effects harder to interpret.
Do not panic about early asymmetry
Dysport effects develop gradually. Early asymmetry or unchanged movement may settle as the product takes effect; contact the clinic if you are concerned rather than trying to correct it yourself.
Warning signs that need urgent help
Trouble breathing, swallowing, speaking, vision changes, widespread weakness, severe swelling, or signs of a serious allergic reaction require urgent medical attention. These are not routine aftercare symptoms.
