How long does it take for wrinkles to fade after first botox injection?

Asked By:ktg13 in Boise, ID

I got my first procedure done today (Botox 26 units) and the RN said it would take an entire year to see any of the wrinkles disappear. After reading about other people's experiences it sounds like they are seeing much faster results, within a few weeks. I get that my muscles won't move and it will take time to see the lines fade but a whole year? I'm 40 and at this point I only have lines on my forehead so it's not like I'm in bad shape. How long before the crease in between your eyes is gone?
