I’m a 43-year-old woman interested in facial injections

Posted by Dr. Schoenfeld

Question:
I’m a 43-year-old woman interested in facial injections to reduce the wrinkling on my face. I’ve been considering either Botox or Dysport. I was leaning toward Dysport, but then I found out that it’s made from cow-derived substances. Unfortunately, I’m lactose intolerant. Will I have a reaction to Dysport because of this?

Answer:
Your research is correct, Dysport does have proteins derived from cow milk that is contraindicated in those individuals with cow milk allergies. Lactose intolerance is a very different type of sensitivity and not really an allergy. I do not believe that individuals who are lactose intolerant are at risk for problems following Dysport injections. If you are concerned then Botox does not contain these proteins and I am certain you will be safe with this product.
