I had 40 units of Botox injected for my 11s. 6 Days later its not working at all. I still have full movement. I'm a man in my 40s with a large build and I exercise a fair amount and eat healthy. Is this common? Did I receive enough Botox? What can I do now? What is recommended?

Answer: Botox for 11s Botox is used to reduce movement in overactive muscles which are causing lines and wrinkles. If there is a deep "11"in the glabellar region at rest (when you are not frowning), it will likely take multiple treatments with botox to make the line go away. This process usually requires injections every 3-4 months for about a year. After each successful botox treatment, you will temporarily weaken the overactive muscles, which over time will cause these muscles to atrophy and improve the 11s.If the area between your eyebrows is still moving significantly after your treatment, you should see your doctor again. 40 units is a large dose, but in the rare male patient with very strong glabellar muscles an even higher dose is sometimes needed. I would wait until at least 2 full weeks after your treatment to make sure the botox is having its full effect.

Answer: 40 Units of Botox didn't work? Botox usually takes a full 7-10 days to fully kick in before seeing your end result, Its best you return to your medical provider if youre still not seeing a difference
