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 & Dysport effectiveness Thank you for your question. Dysport generally starts to work a bit quicker than Botox, day 3-4, but doesn't quite last as long. Botox starts to work around day 4-7 and lasts a bit longer. Most neurotoxins will last about 3 months the first few times you use them. In some people, it's a bit longer and in some people a bit less. You should have a good effect for that time period and then the muscle action will slowly return. It doesn't just quickly return overnight.

Answer: Botox duration varies from patient to patient The effects of botox will vary from patient to patient. Usually the full effect is realized by 2 weeks and then there is a gradual recovery of the muscle action. On average this takes about 3 months. The muscle recovery is very natural over time. I find that patients will frequently have an increasingly longer duration of the effect after repeated treatment sessions.

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.
