Headaches following treatment with neuromodulators like Botox or Dysport typically last for a few hours to a few days. You can alleviate the headache by taking a pain reliever such as Tylenol or Advil, following the recommended dosage until the headache subsides. Keep in mind that it may take up to two weeks to see the full effect of the neuromodulator treatment.

Thank you for your question. It is uncommon, but a small percentage of patients may experience headaches following the treatment on the first day. These headaches typically last for a few hours to a few days and are considered very rare and temporary.

Headaches after neuromodulator injections (such as Botox or Dysport) can occur, although they are rare. They are often experienced by new patients or may result from injecting too deeply or causing irritation. These headaches are usually short-lived and can be managed with over-the-counter pain medications.

Headaches can occur as a side effect of Botox or Dysport treatment and may last for a few hours to a few days.
