Answer: Botox onsert of effect Depending on what study you read, the maximum effect of botox could take two to even more weeks after injection. If you have significant activity after ten days I doubt you will suddenly get improvement beyond what you have. You might have needed more units than what you received, but it's betteer to be conservative and add more later than to put in too much initially.

Answer: I assume that you went to a reputable office?
Generally an experienced injector will advise you that the 11 line may or may not improve to your satisfaction with the BOTOX treatment. They may prepare you for the possible need for additional treatment like filler to help these lines. They will also recommend a dose of BOTOX they think is likely to improve the line. However, less reputable offices my not give you this type of preparation or not use a dose of BOTOX necessary. Assume the office is good, follow up with your doctor and see what they have to recommend at this point.

Answer: A dose adjustment may be required 10 days after your Botox treatment.
Your ability to frown and make vertical lines between your eyebrows should be markedly reduced at this stage of the game. You should re-visit your physician and show your result.
I will routinely check my patients 10-14 days after a Botox treatment to ensure an adequate response.
I hope this is helpful for you.

Answer: It depends on what area was treated
It depends on what area was treated. If you are treating the glabella to eliminate the frown completely, you may need more botox if you are still able to frown after 10 days.
