How long will it take for Botox to start wearing off?

Botox will last on average 2-3 months. That has been my experience in my practice. A patient needs to have realistic expectations in terms of how long the product will last. There is no 6 month Botox. By and large, I have not seen Botox lasting six months. How long it will last depends more on the patient than the product. Meaning, how old is the patient, does the patient have any medical conditions, are they taking medicine, sun exposure, sugar intake; all these variables can have an effect. How Botox will react in a patient depends more on the patient than the product.

First, I suggest going back to your injector/physician or seeing another injector who specializes in Botox and Dysport injections. It takes 1-2 weeks for final results with Botox. 
Botox results resolve in 3-4 months so be sure you see your injector to address this concern. 
Good luck. Dr. ALDO 

BOTOX/XEOMIN are 100% identical in dosage and duration in our recent study of ten patients using Botox on one side of the forehead and xeomin on the other.  All patients were equally paralysed at three days though two responded at 24 hours and 2 at 48 hrs.  All equally lasted between three and four months except one that lasted 7 !/2 months!  8 units of neurotoxin was used on each side of the forehead.  Injecting around the mouth is tricky business and risky, even in the best of hands because guarenteeing that the neurotoxin is delivered selectively to specific target in not possible.

That should be plenty of time to find an injector who makes sense.  Don't let the person who did this service do any more treatment on you, period.  The emotions from these bad services can be rough.  If it is bad, I recommend working with a mental health professional to help you deal with your feelings during this time until the botox wears off.

Botox usually lasts 3 to 4 months but can fade in 2 or can linger up to 6 months. Unfortunately you will have to wait for a few more months before you see your condition improve.

Thank you rrmaisha66 for your question.  Botox can last anywhere from 3-4 months and typically takes somewhere between 10-14 days to reach it's full potential.  The smile can start to improve a few weeks after the injection approximately around the 4-8 week mark. Contact your provider to have a follow up appointment. 

I'm sorry that you are so upset with the results of your Botox treatment. Good news is that Botox is temporary and you will start to notice it wearing off in 3-4 months. Because it is such a dynamic area that was treated you may see it wear off before that.

Hi,
Thank you for your question. Having Botox around the mouth is very tricky because you have nerves around the corners of your mouth that can be effected. This could effect your smile. You should only go to a Doctor that has experience with these types of injections. This will eventually wear off but Botox can take up to 2 weeks to kick in so you may not have your final results in 9 days. 

It can take up to three to four months for the full effect of Botox to wear off after use.  I am sorry for your discomfort but the effect is not permanent.  For the best cosmetic results please consult a board certified dermatologist who is an expert in these procedures.  Best, Dr. Green

Sorry to hear about you experience. 3 - 4 months should suffice for your results to start losing their effect.
