I got botox yesterday. 3 shots in my 11s. I can still move my forehead and wrinkle my skin. Is this normal?

If you
had Botox in your frown lines, the frowning expression is what will be
prohibited, not the entire forehead. You will still be able to raise your
eyebrows up and down and the skin may wrinkle with it. That said, you should
still wait up to 2 weeks for the results to take full effect. 

Thank you for sharing your question. Your experience is completely normal. Botox can take up to 10 days to completely take effect. I recommend waiting for 2 weeks after your initial injections before evaluating your results. If you still do not see improvement in lines or reduction in movement, please follow up with your injector.  

Great question! Within days you will see a noticeable improvement or complete disappearance of lines in about 10-14 days. The effects of Botox treatment typically last three to four months.

Thank you for your question.  Botox is a great treatment used to relax the muscles of the glabella that create the “11” lines.  Botox takes approximately 2-3 days to start to take effect, and the lines improve for 10-14 days post-treatment.  I would recommend waiting a bit longer to see the full effect of the treatment.

Best of luck!

Thank you for your question.  Botox cosmetic takes a full week before seeing a final result.  That being said, patient's often see changes and improvement in 3 to 5 days post injection.  Best of luck.

It takes 3-5 days for the Botox to begin working and up to 2 weeks to reach full effect.  Be patient.

Great question! Botox generally starts working about 3-5 days after the injections. Its full results are not visible until around 7-10 days post injection. The timing differs from person to person.  It is very normal not to have results yet only one day out from your injection. Give it a week and you should start to see your results!

I hope this helps,

Thank you for sharing your question.  Botox takes between 3 and 5 days to start having an effect, with full results at 10-14 days.  Hang in there and allow your results a few more days to mature.  

This is normal and to be expected as it does take about 10 days to see results from Botox. The final results should be visible after two weeks. 

It generally takes between 3 days to a week to see the full effect of your botox treatment. I recommend to wait a little longer. All patients are different and some require more botox than others. I wish you the best.
