Botox results after 3 days, will the lines continue to fade? (Photos)

Hello fiona2017 ! Botox takes up to two week to see an optimal result. I recommend waiting the full 2 weeks, and then following up with your physician to make sure the Botox has worked to its full potential. I foresee your lines softening up even more than they have already over the next few days. Make sure to stay consistent with your treatments to avoid those lines coming back.Happy holidays !!!

You are already looking better, just 3 days after your Botox. Most neuromodulators, such as Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin, take at least a few days to a week for maximal effect. Once your   fmuscles are fully relaxed, the skin smooths out little by little. Depending on how deep your wrinkles were, it may be a couple of weeks before your forehead looks less furrowed. Sometimes, we also inject a hyaluronic acid filler to smooth the deep wrinkles as well. Please consult a board-certified dermatologist who is an expert injector whenever you get Botox.

Dear fiona2017,
Thank you for your question. It is difficult to make an accurate assessment and recommendations based on photographs alone. We recommend you wait up to two weeks after your injection to allow the Botox to take full effect and then consider seeking repeat evaluation with your provider should you still have persistent concerns. Sometimes you may need more units of Botox to certain treated areas, especially if this was your first injection. 

Botox is very effective for the glabella area, but it can take 2 weeks to see complete results. Sometimes more units need to be injected.

IT takes 3-7 days and up to 2 weeks to see the full effect of Botox.  Be patient and you should be very happy with the final results

You’re right: You may need the full 14 days before your skin completely smooths out. So far, it looks like your Botox treatment has done a good job of relaxing your 11s. You can expect to see a calmer looking brow as your skin smooths out further. Over time, you may need less Botox to get the same effect.  A board-certified dermatologist will give you the best Botox results and also recommend other therapies you may need to keep your skin at its healthiest and most youthful through the years. 

Since you had your injections only 3 days ago, the Botox hasn't had enough time to take effect.  You'll notice increased improvement over the course of the next week.  If around the two-week mark, you still don't see the improvement you desire, you could return to your Dermatologist for a "touch-up".

You should continue to see further improvement over the next week and a half.  At two weeks the product is in full effect.  If after that time you still have concerns, return to your injector for an evaluation.

Thanks for your question. Botox results will start to show about 3-5 days following a treatment. Generally the results peak about two weeks following a treatment. So you can definitely expect continued improvement at this point. Good luck!

To see the final result of Botox treatment, you will have to be patient. It takes 7-14 days to see the maximum relaxation of the muscles that are causing the lines; After that, there will be continued improvement until the muscle activity returns and starts to re-create the lines. As long as you keep the muscles fully relaxed with the right dose and repeat your Botox every 3-4 months (as soon as the activity starts to return), the lines will continue to improve over time. I hope this helps!Dr. Quenby Erickson, DO, FAAD
