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

Botox takes anywhere from 10-14 days to take effect. Since your injections were only 4 days ago, I recommend waiting a couple of weeks, and if you are not happy with your results, make a follow up appointment with your injecting physician. Sometimes patients do require a touch up, but in your case it’s too soon to tell. Good luck!

Thank you for sharing your question and posting your photos. Botox has maximal results by about 7-10 days. You should continue to see improvements over the following days. Repost your photos after another week if you don't mind. Good luck,

It can take a week or so for the full effects from a Botox treatment to be seen, so you most likely are not seeing the full effect 4 days after your treatment.  Additionally, as the longer the period that the muscle stays relaxed, the lines will continue to improve.  If there is still somewhat of a depression under the lines after the muscle is relaxed, sometimes a filler can be added for further improvement.  

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.
