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.
