I can still frown after Botox. Is that a good sign? (Photo)

Thank you for your question lins1976. Botox is a purified protein used to address wrinkles associated with facial expression such as the vertical lines between the brows seen when one frowns. The pivotal studies demonstrated that the maximum effect of Botox is seen 14 days after a treatment. Patience is important. Some people have deep wrinkles at rest. In these cases Botox often does not provide results that patients are happy with. Laser resurfacing with fractional CO2 may help. Please follow up with your doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!

Thank you for your photos. At only four days since your treatment, the full results from BOTOX® may not be visible. It can take a week or more for the final results to appear as the product works to weaken the contractions of your glabellar muscles. After 2 weeks, you may want to return to your injector for a touch-up if you can still create substantial frown lines voluntarily. If the muscle control has weakened at that point but you still have static lines on the skin between your eyebrows, talk with your practitioner about the possibility of using a small amount of dermal filler to smooth the appearance of the skin’s surface.
