Dysport
Dysport and exercise. What sort of migration risks are there?
The 24 hour recommendation to wait to exercise is somewhat of an arbitrary number to be on the "safe side." Most of these neuromodulators will be absorbed into the muscle within a few hours based on literature but we advised patients to stay upright for 4 hours and not to massage the area for 24 hours to minimize risk for product migration. Hope that helps!
Clinical Context
Dysport works by traveling into nearby nerve endings, where it blocks the signal that tells muscles to contract. This process starts within hours of injection, which is why staying upright and avoiding massage early on can help keep the product where it's placed. Once it has taken hold in the muscle, movement or exercise doesn't pull it elsewhere — the main goal of early precautions is simply to avoid pressing or rubbing the treated area.
