Botox typically "wears off" anywhere from 4 to 6 months. The muscle activity will not have been permanently weakened, and this temporary paralysis should improve shortly.
Thank you for sharing your question and I am sorry to hear of your inadvertent injection. For most patients Botox will wear off from 3-4 months after treatment depending on their sensitivity. You should start seeing the effects of the Botox wear off, and your muscle regain its strength in the next few weeks. Hang in there and be strong, Botox does not leave permanent results.
Botox is not permanent. You need to see your injector and review your before and after photos. The muscle should make a full recovery, so look at your photos with your injector to see if you're back to baseline.Best wishes, Dr. ALDO
In the chin area Botox usually lasts 3-4 months. But I have seen patient with results lasting up to 6 months. Botox can not permanently weaken your muscle, so be patient, it will start wearing off soon.
Thanks for your question. Botox or Dysport are temporary. The affects generally last 3-4 months, but may be present up to 6 months in some people. Be patient, it will wear off without any permanent weakness.
All Botox effects will eventually reverse. It should last no longer than 4 months. I have seen patients that have a natural asymmetric smile and sometimes this isn't notice until after Botox. There is nothing permanent about Botox.
Botox can last 4-6 months, although it usually is closer to 4 months than six. Be patient, if the botox caused the issues, it should get better. You are almost there.
Dont worry it will wear off. Some individuals simply take longer. In few, botox can last a year or even longer. Everything is patient related. Good luck from NYC.
Typically it should have worn off by now. I have seen one patient who received botox from a neurologist for torticollis who had a permanent effect.
YES - indirectly by placing Botox in the Depressor anguli oris (DAO) muscle- a depressor of the lower lip-you can raise the commisure of the lower lip, this in turn raises the corner of the upper lip. Small amounts in the upper are can create a 'curl' of the upper lip but does not reduce...
After Botox it is recommended that little pressure be applied to the treated area for 24 hours and that you remain upright for several hours after injection. If you are concerned with your results you should return to your treating physician for assessment. Best, Dr. Green
Painful, yes! Dangerous, it really shouldn't be. Using numbing cream or a cool air blower is really a must for this procedure. It is about 50 needle sticks in a highly innervated (lots and lots of nerve endings) area. As long as the medication is delivered only to the skin and not deep int...
I am a big fan of arnica to help minimize post-injection symptoms. Arnica Forte is affordable and comes as a capsule and a serum. Next time you go in for injections, start the Arnica Forte two or three days prior to the injection and serum over the location you are going to have injected...
Injectors may use different dilution ratios when they reconstitute Botox. The dilution is not as critical as the number of actual units of botox injected at each site. However I think your question may be concerning an injector not giving the units charged for by "overdiluting"....
Assuming that you do not suffer from unusually deep wrinkle lines at your age I would recommend delaying any use of Botox until you are in your early to mid 20s. There have been some studies suggesting early use of Botox delays the appearance of wrinkling but personally I would not start the ...
