Doctors advise patients to wait 2 weeks for optimal results for BOTOX/DYSPORT to take effect. After 2 wks when it sets into a person's frown lines and wrinkles, does the Botox/Dysport stay in place freezing the muscle for a period of the stated 3~6 months with optimal strength from the 2-week mark, or does the 2 week period signify the time-frame when the Botox/Dysport actually begin to slowly lose potency? Can I expect my skin to look wrinkle-free for 3~6 months as it does in the 2-week mark?

Answer: Botox Thank you for your question.Every person is different on how fast the botox will take effect. Botox can take effect on a patient 3-5 days after the injection, but seeing full correction could take two weeks. After those two weeks, you typically go in for a follow up appointment (especially if you are new to Botox) to see if you need any additional injections and to make sure you have achieved the results you initially desired. From then on, you can expect the results to last until that 3-4 month mark when your Botox will subside.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.

Answer: Results Maintained After 2 Weeks This is an excellent question and one I hear often in my practice. Both BOTOX Cosmetic and Dysport do take a couple of weeks to reach peak effectiveness, although some people start to notice results after a few days. The results you see at 2 weeks are typically the ones you'll see for the next few months. After about 3 or 4 months, results gradually start to diminish. That's when most people chose to come in for their maintenance injections. I hope this clears up your confusion!
