Doctors advise patients to wait 2 weeks for optimal results for BOTOX/DYSPORT to take effect. After 2 wks when it sets into a person's frown lines and wrinkles, does the Botox/Dysport stay in place freezing the muscle for a period of the stated 3~6 months with optimal strength from the 2-week mark, or does the 2 week period signify the time-frame when the Botox/Dysport actually begin to slowly lose potency? Can I expect my skin to look wrinkle-free for 3~6 months as it does in the 2-week mark?
