Docs say to wait 2 wks for optimal results for Botox/Dysport. What happens next?

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.

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!
