However, as tempting the procedure may be, the big question is if it safe for pregnant women and the baby inside her womb. Keep reading the article to know more about dysport in Singapore and if it is allowed for pregnant women.

What is Dysport? 

Dysport was originally invented by Dr. Lee Young Seob, a renowned plastic surgeon in the plastic surgery capital of the world, Seoul, South Korea. He noticed that a traditional intra-muscular Botox injection causes a stiff and expressionless face that is why he came up with a special method using dysport and the result was amazing. 

Dysport is a brand name of botulinum toxin A. Microdroplets of Dysport is injected into the superficial skin layer to lift the skin, reduce pore size and relax wrinkles. 

Dysport is a treatment that gives a natural look without affecting the facial expression. It increases collagen production and tightens skin. It is also known for its instant effect. In 5 minutes or so, you can see the result already!

Who is a good candidate for Dysport?

Is Dysport safe for pregnant women?

Still, it is better to be safe and avoid any cosmetic injections if you are pregnant or planning to get pregnant anytime soon. It is also important that cosmetic clinics should screen their patient’s overall health properly before each injection to avoid any complications in the future.
