It depends on the patient. The average time it takes to see the effects of Botox is 3-5 days, but sometimes it can take up to 14.
Effects Vary
Arnold W. Klein, MD answers: How long after Botox can full effects be seen?
I was told that after receiving Botox, you have to wait at least 2 to 3 days just to start seeing any effects. Is this true?

A: Optimal Results for Botox

In our experience, most people begin to experience noticeable relaxation of treated areas with 48 hours. However, the full effects are generally realized at the 2 week mark. At this point, the key muscles have responded as well as a nice softening of the fine lines/wrinkles in the skin. Whatever wrinkles/deep lines remain after 2 weeks may be addressed with cosmetic dermal fillers such as Juvederm or Restylane.
