Why can I see no difference after Botox in my forehead & in-between eyes? (Photo)

Thanks for your question.  It can be frustrating not to see the results you were hoping for with injections. There can be many different reasons for the difference between this time and previous injections.  Rarely do the areas begin to freeze instantly; it typically takes 3-7 days for most patients to achieve the full effect of their injections, but as others have stated, it can take up to two weeks.  There can also be variations in the amount and strength of the Botox that was used.  Some offices dilute their Botox and the result will not be the same.  Do you know if you received the same number of units of Botox each time?  This also makes a difference.  Although unusual, your body can build up some resistance to Botox, and may wish to switch to some other neuromodulator like Dysport or Xeomin.  I actually do see some difference between your photos, so hopefully in a few days to two weeks you'll be seeing improved results.  If not, most doctors will be happy to help make it right for you and touch up your injections.  Good luck. 

Thank
you for your question and photos. The time it takes to see results following
BOTOX injections is typically 7 to 10 days. But that is a general guideline,
and each treatment is unique. So even though you noticed results sooner after
your previous treatments, I would agree with your doctor that you should wait a
couple of weeks to see what occurs. You didn't indicate if you used the same
injector as in your previous BOTOX treatments, and that can play a role in the
timing and effectiveness of the results, as well. The injector's technique is
an important aspect of the procedure. Good luck.

Results from Botox
usually take anywhere from 3-5 days to begin to appear, with full results
apparent after up to two weeks. Your photos do show some improvement, so I
would be patient and wait for full results. If you are still unsatisfied after
two weeks, you can follow up with your injector for a touch-up.

Hello, Thank you for your question. Botox usually takes 2 or 3 days to start to work, and will continue to improve over the first 7 to 10 days. Typically patients will achieve their full results by 7-14 days. Should you not notice any improvements after 14 days, I'd recommend booking a follow-up appointment with your skilled injector to discuss your options. All the best. 

botox/dysport/xeomin take 2 weeks to see the full effect so have patience.  If more dose is needed for increased results this can be done at 2 weeks.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Patients that have had excellent wrinkle reduction with Botox treatments in the past, but now (after a year of no treatment) have a not satisfactory result, very likely have increased requirement in the Botox dosage.Serial treatments with Botox weakens the treated muscles, thus giving  an "instant-like freeze" when Botox given serially every 3  to 4 months.When patients stop treating for Botox for a long time ( e.g. a year) muscles tend to regain their normal strength. Therefore, when treating  Botox again, the initial dose may not work this time. Therefore, patient may need a touch up several days after the initial treatment to determine the new final standard dose of Botox to achieve the desired result.

There does appear to be improvement already. Seeing "instant" results with Botox or significant improvement prior to 3-5 days is unusual. Give this another 3 - 4 days and you should be seeing more significant benefits. Best.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Thank you for your
question in regards to Botox.Most people will start to notice an improvement 3-5 days after injections, although total correction can take up to two weeks. After two weeks I you are still not satisfied with your results, follow up with our injector to discuss our concerns.To be sure, see two
or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to
make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have
treatment.I hope
this helps.

Botox might take up to two weeks to work. From the pictures that you have post it looks like there already some effect. Please wait up to two weeks and reevaluate the results with your physician. 

It usually takes 5-7 days for the Botox to being having its effect but full effect can take 1-2 weeks. I suggest you continue to be patient but after 2 weeks if you've seen no result. I suggest you return to your practitioner. In some cases, they may have diluted the treatment and you may require more units.In other rarer cases, its possible that your body has developed some resistance to Botox and in these cases using another neuromodulator such as Xeomin or Dysport may give you a better result.I hope this was helpful.
