I had 16 ccs injected between my eyebrows 5 days ago. It is now day 5. I see nothing like the results on the BotoxCosmetic pamphlet. In fact, I can still frown just the same...with the same speed and intensity. I've heard of waiting 2-7 days for full effect...well I haven't seen ANY effect yet. I should mention that I'm only 31 and I workout about 5 days/week, but I followed my dr's post-injection instructions to a T. What gives??

Answer: No botox effect yet? (5 days after treatment) Hang in there...some people take up to 7-10 days to show the effect, after Botox injections. If you haven't seen any effect by two weeks post injection, then return to see your injecting physician. All the best,

Answer: No Botox Results After 5 Days?
Hi Teaneck. Although you should see results after 5 days, we do not bring our first time patients back for a checkup until 14 days.
In addition to waiting a bit longer, it sounds like you may not have enough product. Usually at least 20 units (not cc's) are used in the glabella.
Finally, for deep creases, it may be required to use a dermal filler like Restylane. If you have this sort of crease in your forehead it should have been discussed with you before treatment. Call your injector back for a checkup and discuss all these issues with him/her. Good luck.
