If Botox hasn't worked after 10 days would you repeat at same dosage or reduced?
Answer: Botox sometimes takes 2-4 weeks to peak Sometimes it takes two to four weeks to have Botox peak in its effect. Don’t rush in to retreatment too soon. When your doctor does want to do more, there are times that a little more is needed to add to the prior treatment, and other times where the whole treatment is redone at a greater dose than previously. Occasionally, it is only a small area within a larger one treated, that needs an extra amount of Botox.

Answer: Repeat Botox with higher amount if it doesn't work after 10 days Botox works good almost everytime but once in a while it may work better than usual and once in awhile it may not work as well as usual. It is up to your muscles to absorb the medication so to help the absorption process you should move the muscles by smiling and frowning etc. for the first half hour. Botox takes effect within 7 days in most cases and rarely 10 days but if you see no effect at all then get a repeat botox session at a greater amount put in this time and expect to pay for it. Sometimes doctors give a discount on touch up botox treatments. We do. We charge $350 for 1 area, $600 for 2 and $800 for all 3 areas (crows feet, glabellar frown lines, forehead creases). We charge only $150 total for a touch up if done within 2 weeks of the original injections.

Answer: Botox not working for 10 days If it has not worked then I would repeat the same dosage but give it 14 days not 10. You could have a delayed response, although it is unusual.

Answer: You should see the effect of BOTOX within ten days following treatment. If you have no visible improvement, you may have had a bad vial of BOTOX. Since my fellowship, I've seen 2 vials that had no potency. It's not harmful, but you just don't get the desired result. We can usually figure out which was the bad vial since usually 2 or more people have been injected.

Answer: Dosage, experience and technique are all important Results from Botox treatment for dynamic lines depends on all of the three above criteria. Botox can be used very effectively in lower doses in many patients if the treating physician has years of experience and isn't just following a set "grid" that is often taught in one to two day crash courses. Also, Botox is made in "batches" so sometimes one bottle is weaker than the rest. Botox is placed into specific muscles based on teaching, anatomy and experience, but isn't always in the "belly" of the muscle, so re-treatment may be necessary.
