Botox Results?
Thank you for the question.
It is too early to see the effects of the Botox treatment. The majority of the effect of Botox will take 3 to 7 days to see. It may last for 3 to 5 months.
Keep in mind, that “wrinkles” that are present at rest will not be affected after the treatment with Botox.
Best wishes.

It usually takes 3-4 days to see the effects of the injection of Botox or the other products that relax the muscles. However the full effect may not be seen for 7-10 days.

I Did Botox 2 Days Ago the Same Wrinkles Are There, When Will I See Results?
All the neurotoxins ( Botox, Dysport and Xeomin) take 3-5 days for full effects to become visible. Effects are also dose dependent and related to the knowledge and experience of the injector.

You will not see the effects of Botox treatment for at least 3-5 days
Give your Botox protein some time to inhibit your muscle from contracting. The soonest you will see results is 3-5 days with maximum results being 10-14 days after injection. If you still don't see the results you are looking for after 14 days contact your physician to get a touch up.

Botox can take 10-14 days for full effects
I know that many people think Botox works instantly; however, it can take up to 10-14 days for full effects to take place. The muscles can take time to relax fully and absorb the neurotoxin. Having additional Botox put in before at least 10 days have passed can result in problems because muscles will continue to absorb the Botox during this time, and it can result in overinjection. Wait at least 10 days and then see your injector if you're still not satisfied with the wrinkles relaxing....

Botox may take up to two weeks or even more to see the muscles relax
In order to see improvement after Botox, the muscles need to stop contracting so that the overlying skin does not crease. Even wthen the muscles do relax, which can easily take two weeks after the Botox it is not unusual for the skin to take time to relax the crease. If the crease is very noticable and the muscles are not moving, then a fine superficial filler can be injected if you can't afford to wait weeks to months for the line(s) to look better.

Great question about how long it takes Botox or Dysport to make wrinkles go away.
There could be three reasons you still see the same wrinkles present two days after your first Botox injection. First, Botox does take several days to achieve maximal muscle-weakening effect, as the other answers state. But more importantly, many patients have unrealistic expectations about what Botox can do right away, or at all. It's very important to understand that Botox only weakens muscles under the skin. It does not have any immediate direct smoothing effect on the top of the skin...

These agents take time to work.
You will see something at 1-2 days but the maximal effect takes 2-3 weeks. Your injector should have taken before photos. Plan on going back a 2 weeks to have an after photo and have the injector show you the effect. If before photos were not taken, you are going to the wrong office. Please find an injector who takes treatment seriously.

How long does it take for Botox to work
No need to worry. The effects generally take 3-4 days to be visible and generally peak after 1 to 2 weeks. I recommend that my patients return in 1 week to assess the effects and to determine if any tweaking is necessary.

How long to see botox effect?
Botox results typically take at least 3-5 days to occur. Many patients may not see full result even for 7-10 days. Be patient, it will happen.

Time for Botox results
Botox takes about 2-3 years to begin to work. The results begin subtlety and then become more obvious over the following 2 weeks so you need to give it a little time. Some patients see results more rapidly than others and this depends, in part, on the amount which has been injected.

Botox takes several days to begin working
Neurotoxin injections such as Botox, Dysport and Xeomin typically take two to three days to begin working and one to two weeks to achieve their maximal effect. Dysport is believed to have a slightly quicker onset than Botox if you are in a hurry. I always advise my patients to wait at least two weeks before assessing their results to decide if more is better. I also tell each patient that if their wrinkle lines are deeply etched into the skin, they will be improved but still will be visible...

Botox full effect
Botox will take 10 to 14 days to have the full effects. It is two early for you to try and evaluate if it is doing what it is supposed to do. Give it some time .
Good luck

How Long It Takes To See The Effects of Botox
It usually takes about a week or two to see the full results. As a side note, keep in mind that Botox will relax the muscles to keep them from reinforcing the development of the creases. However, sometimes the lines are still visible depending on the elasticity of your skin.
