How Long Before Botox Results Can Be Seen?

Botox inhibits the communication between nerves and muscles. It does so by blocking the release of certain small chemicals (neurotransmitters) that nerves use to signal a muscle to contract. 
The onset of action of Botox varies from person to person. Botox first has to bind to the nerve before it can enter the cell. Some patients bind Botox faster because they have a greater number of these high affinity "binding sites" on their nerves. After binding to the nerve, Botox enters the cell to prevent the release of the chemical messengers that cause muscles to contract. When the muscle can no longer contract, the wrinkles soften and relax. 
Typical onset of Botox is between 24 and 72 hours, although some patients may require up to 5 days to see a result. The maximal effect of Botox occurs at about 10 days after treatment. 

Botox is an
incredible product as it can give patients a very natural and aesthetically
pleasing result.

With Botox
patients do not see any difference the day of the injection. They may feel some tightness in the forehead
where the Botox was injected. Then over
the next week to two weeks they will see the results of their treatment.

The Botox
relaxes the muscles that cause us to make wrinkles around our eyes and
forehead. With time the muscles will
stop forming these lines. I tell
patients that even though they will see the results of their Botox at two weeks
they will continue to improve over the next couple months. As the skin has time to relax the lines will
continue to fade with time.

Please discuss
your Botox treatment with your board certified plastic surgeon.

Typically it takes seven to ten days to see the full results of the Botox treatrment.  It is possible to see the effects much sooner.  There is no limit to the time you can keep getting Botox.

In general it takes 3-5 days to see the full effect of botox treatments. Dysport takes a few days longer. 
It last 3-4 months and most patients get retreated at around 4 months. 
Some individuals will develop antibodies to the botox and it will become ineffective but that's unusual. The majority of  patients can get treated for decades without issues and actually develop an increased duration of effectiveness!

Thank you for your questions.Botox begins to "kick-in" in approximately 2-3 days. The full benefit won't be seen for a week. As the muscles stay paralyzed, those pesky wrinkles that are still present at rest tend to fade as well over the following months. You can have the treatments for life, usually performed every 3-4 months. No limits.I hope this helps.- Dr. Bryson Richards

The results from Botox injections can typically be seen within a few days, with the full effects usually visible after about 7 to 14 days. As for the frequency of treatments, Botox injections can be repeated every 3 to 4 months. There isn't a specific limit to the number of times you can receive Botox throughout your life, but it's important to have treatments spaced appropriately to avoid building resistance to the toxin. Continuous treatments should be monitored and adjusted by a qualified healthcare provider to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Everyone is different but generally speaking average time for Botox efficiency is four months. After this time, you will start to recognize your old wrinkles reappearing. I wouldn't recommend you to get Botox injections earlier than 12 weeks.
You can expect to see the full benefits 14 days after your treatment. Your skin will look smooth and fine lines and deep wrinkles will diminish. Best wishes.

You can typically begin to see the effect of Botox taking place around day 5-7, however, full results of the treatment will take up to 2 weeks. This may also depend on the type of Botox injected. You will begin to notice that the treated muscles become more relaxed and reduced in movement. Botox can last between 3-5 months on average, but this may vary per person.

Most patients will see onset of Botox effect about 5-7 days after injection and full effect is typically realized by 2 weeks. It is true that it lasts between 3 and 4 months depending on dose and response, but with regular use patients often see longer duration as muscles weaken. There have been reports of developing resistance to toxins, but we haven't seen that too often. Luckily there are 4 effective toxins on the market currently, with others poised to enter the market in the US soon, so there are options to try other treatments if you find that the toxin you are using is not as effective as it used to be.

Botox usually starts working 4 days after injection, with full effect visible in 1-2 weeks. Dysport starts to work a little earlier in most patients (2 days) with full effect at 1-2 weeks also. Jeuveau and Xeomin are the other two FDA approved Botulinum toxin brands; their timing is similar to to Botox. They all have the same active protein (Botulinum toxin). Botulinum toxin injections can be used indefinitely, for a lifetime. Injections are generally performed every 3-4 months for Botox, Xeomin, and Jeuveau and about every 4-5 months for Dysport, which lasts a little longer for most patients. Thanks for your question. 

Thank you for your question. It can take up to two weeks for botox results to fully show. Please be patient during this time.
