Hello! Thank you for your question! Typically, one will begin to see effects within 2-3 days. Usually, full effects are seen within a week. If after that time noe effect is seen, consideration for touch-up is reasonable. As a neuromodulator that inhibits reuptake of acetylcholine and the nerve junction, BoTox will continue to work until it wears off at the site. There is no limit to how long one can receive it, but it generally lasts for about 3-4 months on average. Best wishes! Hope that this helps!
Thank you for your question. You are early in your post procedure course. Usually the patient sees the start of the neuromodulators, (Botox Dysport, Xeomin), working at day 4. The fillers usually see some result early, but some modulation continues. In our office we have patients come back at 2 weeks for their check on their neuromodulator or filler. At that point, most of the swelling is usually down, and we have an idea of the result. This may be delayed if the patient has a bruise. Often, asymmetry can be improved. If you desire more volume, most practices would charge you, as they have to pay for the product, etc. Please make sure your well trained, experienced injector knows your current status.Jeffrey J.

In order to see improvement after Botox, the muscles need to stop contracting so that the overlying skin does not crease. Even wthen the muscles do relax, which can easily take two weeks after the Botox it is not unusual for the skin to take time to relax the crease. If the crease is very noticable and the muscles are not moving, then a fine superficial filler can be injected if you can't afford to wait weeks to months for the line(s) to look better.
You will see something at 1-2 days but the maximal effect takes 2-3 weeks. Your injector should have taken before photos. Plan on going back a 2 weeks to have an after photo and have the injector show you the effect. If before photos were not taken, you are going to the wrong office. Please find an injector who takes treatment seriously.
It usually takes about a week or two to see the full results. As a side note, keep in mind that Botox will relax the muscles to keep them from reinforcing the development of the creases. However, sometimes the lines are still visible depending on the elasticity of your skin.
It usually takes about 3 days to start to notice the effects of Botox and up to 12 days to see the full effect, so please be patient. If the winkles are still there at rest, you may also require filler.
Thank you for the question. It is too early to see the effects of the Botox treatment. The majority of the effect of Botox will take 3 to 7 days to see. It may last for 3 to 5 months. Keep in mind, that “wrinkles” that are present at rest will not be affected after the treatment with Botox. Best wishes.
Botox treatment usually takes about 5-7 days to take full effect. Be patient since youa reonly two days out.
Give your Botox protein some time to inhibit your muscle from contracting. The soonest you will see results is 3-5 days with maximum results being 10-14 days after injection. If you still don't see the results you are looking for after 14 days contact your physician to get a touch up.
There could be three reasons you still see the same wrinkles present two days after your first Botox injection. First, Botox does take several days to achieve maximal muscle-weakening effect, as the other answers state. But more importantly, many patients have unrealistic expectations about what Botox can do right away, or at all. It's very important to understand that Botox only weakens muscles under the skin. It does not have any immediate direct smoothing effect on the top of the skin. This means that if your lines are very deep, from many years of making the same expressions, at first the Botox or Dysport may only stop you from making the expression, and folding the skin there, as deeply. You can imagine that it would take a long time, weeks to months, to maybe even years, for deep creases to smooth on their own after the muscles don't fold the skin anymore. This is why it's important to make a bit of a commitment to trying these treatments repeatedy (every three months or so) for at least a few cycles, so you can eventually see the cumulative effect of the long term relaxation. Bear in mind that the popular online myth about anything ending up worse off if you start and then one day stop is just that, a total myth. Finally, a third reason your wrinkles are still there, is that sometimes doctors try to use Botox to do more than it can really do. If you have a lot of excess skin and deep folds, not just lines, it may be that you do need surgery to lift or tighten the area, and that Botox weakening the muscles under there just can't do enough to make a difference. This is why it's so important to go to a legitimate, honest, trained physician who can properly identify this situation, so you don't waste months and money when Botox or Dysport can't really do the full trick, and they can guide you in a more useful direction.
Contrary to what panel members are suggesting, we have had personal experience with a staff member that developed an allergy to both Dysport and Botox that was not an immediate response but progressed to this because she was unaware of the link to the Botox injections. We have also met two ...
The wrinkle in the glabella is like a crease in a sheet of paper. It can take some time for that crease to flatten out. If there is still a depression after Botox you can get a filler like Restylane in that area. Don't worry. Just keep up with the Botox and eventually it will be smooth. T...
Treatment for chin dimpling ("pebble chin" or "orange peel") is Botox injected into the mentalis muscle. This typically gives great improvement to the appearance of the chin. Results take about 1 to 2 weeks. I suggest getting a formal evaluation with a board-certified cosmetic der...
