I paid 750 for botox between my eyes (11's) and for my crow's feet. I see some improvement but my brow still appears furrowed. I'm only 34. I don't know how many units my doctor used. Any thoughts?

Still Noticing Brow Furrow 11 Days After Botox

Botox usually takes around a week before results are apparent. In some cases it can take up to two weeks. There are multiple possibilities that can account for why you are not seeing results. Botox does not work the same way on everyone. If you are not seeing the results that you want with Botox, then you may want to consider Dysport as an alternative. Dysport is a botulinum toxin like Botox. However it has fewer proteins surrounding the main molecule. For some... more

No Botullinum Toxin (Dysport and Botox) after 11 days

I would definitely contact your surgeon and discuss your findings as well as return for a follow up visit and possible "top-off"

Persistent Glabella Movement 11 days after Botox

You should have seen a major improvement 11 days after injection.  There are several reasons why you have gotten an unsatisfactory response.  They include too little botox injected and injection into the wrong areas.  I would revisit your prior injector for a reevaluation and possible touch up.   Best Wishes,   Neil Zemmel, MD

Still a furrow in brow after 11 days?

Question: I had BOTOX® 11 days ago, I can still furrow my brow, Is this normal? Answer: At 11 days I would expect a substantial improvement from the BOTOX®. There are several possibilities for the furrowing of your brows. You may have very deep or very superficial furrow lines involving the superficial area of the skin that is only partially treated with BOTOX®. The addition of a judicious filler might be of help. Secondly, the BOTOX® may not have been placed in a... more

Glabellar Botox injection results

Although it takes up to two full weeks to see the end result of a Botox injection, there should be some muscle relaxation seen as soon as a few days post injection. Results of Botox injections depend on multiple factors, including: - a thorough knowledge of facial anatomy - evaluation of the activity/hyperactivity of the musculature.  Enlarged, overactive muscles require more units of Botox to relax. - the concentration of Botox in the solution.  If the solution... more

Botox for the frown lines

If you can animate the frown lines then you may not have gotten enough or in the right place.  If you can not animate that area then you just need to be patient to allow the lines to soften.  This will happen over time and will likely require several rounds of botox until the lines are drastically improved.  It just depends on the depth of the lines that you have. Good luck.

Persistant Glabellar Furrows Post Botox Injections

Go back to your injector for a recheck and possible touch up.   Everyone is a bit different but good injection technique is usually the difference between OK Botox and outstanding Botox.  While you are there, educate yourself on placement of injections and the number of units used.  If less than 20 units were used, you probably need more.  If you used more than 20 than it was probably not placed correctly or you have an outstandingly strong muscle.  Either... more

Unsatisfactory Botox Treatment

Although Botox is simple to inject, "Bad Botox" results can be seen everywhere. The reason? to get a great Botox result your injector needs to fully understand and know facial anatomy, have an artistic sense (and not just stamp Botox in the same pattern on every patient), used genuine (not fake (Chinese or North Korean source) or gray market ("Canadian pharmacy") Botox, which is fresh (not older than a week), which was mixed properly and is not overly diluted. You do... more
