Botox Didn’t Work On Frown Lines
If you haven’t seen a big difference after 2 Botox treatments its time to think outside the box.
You have lost some volume in the area, both in the skin and under the skin. So injecting dermal fillers to replenish the volume and ‘plump’ up the skin will help. Skin care + sun block is another avenue that you should consider. (Naveen Somia, MBBS, PhD, FRACS, Sydney Plastic Surgeon)
Botox Not Working
In the event that botox does not provide sufficient correction to the frownlines, you may need to combine botox with juvederm or consider laser. Consult in person with 3 – 4 experienced and expert physician injectors/board certified plastic surgeons to review your options. (Kris M. Reddy, MD, FACS, West Palm Beach Plastic Surgeon)
Botox Has Been FDA-approved For Frown Lines Since
Persistent frown lines
The ultimate result from a single treatment with Botox is generally seen 7 days after treatment. That said, there can be a cumulative benefit that is seen in more stubborn or persistent lines after subsequent treatment sessions.
I advocate using pre- and post-treatment photos as an objective measure by which we can evaluate treatment success. If you are seeing any improvement, I encourage you to continue with your Botox treatments. On the other hand, if truly no improvement is noted, than using a combination of fractional resurfacing lasers (ablative and non-ablative) and well placed filler (off-label) can be very satisfying.

Wrinkle Line Treatment Options
When you start Botox Cosmetic treatments after already developing wrinkle lines, there are two options to get rid of the etched in lines. First option is the slower option. Continue with your Botox treatments every 3 months.
Botox Is Very Effective When Used For Dynamic Wrinkles
Within a year, your own skin collagen will start to fill the wrinkle, because you have removed the continuous trauma of the overlying muscle contraction with Botox. Second option is the selfie ready yesterday option.
Treat the etched in wrinkle with a hyaluronic acid filler from the Juvederm family of fillers. Even though fillers have a finite duration, I find that most of the time I don’t have to repeat this treatment if preventative Botox treatments are kept up every three months.

How Long Does It Take For Botox/ Dysport To Work?
Most Dysport patients start to see results within 2-3 days after their injection, Botox 3-5 days. Typically, full effects are seen by 2 weeks with Botox and Dysport. In my practice, for first time patients, a 2-3 week follow up is scheduled so I can evaluate the effects and plan for your future treatments.
Botox Results On Frown Lines Vary
Botox and Dysport should be maintained about every 3-4 months. (Thomas E. Kaniff, MD, FACS, Sacramento Facial Plastic Surgeon)
Up to two weeks
It can take up to 2 weeks before the effects of a Botox treatment are apparent. I would wait to see what happens before having another treatment. (Gary Lawton, MD, FACS, San Antonio Plastic Surgeon)
How long his Botox take to work?
Botox tends to take effect starting on day 2 after the injection. The Maximum effect after the injection is at day 7.
The Botox effect tends to last 3-8 months, depending upon where was injected, how much was injected, the concentration of the Botox and underlying muscle anatomy. (William Portuese, MD, Seattle Facial Plastic Surgeon)

Be sure the MD, you choose, understands and follows the proper aesthetics of facial beauty and has experience with Botox treatments. (Francis R. Palmer, III, MD, Beverly Hills Facial Plastic Surgeon)
How long does it take for the results of Botox to be seen?
The effects of Botox usually takes 3-7 days to be seen and may take up to 2 weeks to see the full effects. However, I have had some patients whose Botox has kicked in much quicker. (Steven E. Rasmussen, MD, FAAD, Austin Dermatologist)
Botox typically takes affect within 3-4 days. If not, the patient should wait approx.10 days to see the full effect. If the patient still does not see a difference after the 10 days the patient should followup with the injector who did the treatment. (Cory Torgerson, MD, PhD, FRCSC, Toronto Facial Plastic Surgeon)
