Facial Injections: Info, Prices, Photos, Reviews, Q&A

You need to wait one full week before assessing effect of injection. If only the 11 muscles were treated and you keep trying to frown, you can recruit other forehead muscles into “frowning”.

Best to reassess in one week and not overly try to frown once you see that the injections are working. (Susan F. Lin, MD, San Mateo OB-GYN)

Most patients start seeing some effect at 72 hours after their treatment but it can take 7-14 days to see the full results of the Botox injections. Give it some time.

If in 2 weeks, you are not happy with your results, then I would followup with your treating physician. (Shaun Patel, MD, Miami Physician)

Botox does not work immediately

The effect of Botox usually takes a few days to show. Most patients will notice some difference at about 4-5 days. It may take up to 2 weeks to see the results.

11’s still moving 24 hours after Botox

One doesn’t see the full result from Botox until 7-10 days after injection. Although you received “3 shots”, that doesn’t tell me how many units you received. I generally use 10-12 units, with careful targeting of the corrugator muscle bellies.

I perform touch ups at 2 weeks, if necessary, at no charge. (Wendell G. Miles, MD, Chevy Chase Plastic Surgeon)

It takes about 2-5 days to see the Botox kick in. A full 7-10 days for final results. If you still have more movement than you desire, go back to your provider and discuss.

Botox Is Not A Wrinkle Remover

Stop Muscles Contracting

it takes a few days (3-7 on average) before Botox starts to work , then improves daily over the next 2 weeks for full effects . Secondly if it was used to treat your 11s, that is known as your glabellar area.

The Botox should limit your ability to frown and the movement of this muscle group. Your forehead ( frontalis) muscle has not been treated and you will still be able to wrinkle your forehead ( lifting your eyebrows upward and the horizontal forehead creases). (Drew Varano, MD, Washington DC Physician)

It can take 3-7 days to see the onset of the results of Botox injection and up to 2 weeks for the full results. (James Silberzweig, MD, New York Radiologist)

It takes 3-10 days for Botox to work. You need to give Botox a 2 weeks to see the full effect. (Linda Kelley, MD, Roswell Physician)

It takes about 3 to 5 days for Botox to begin to work and about 2 weeks after the injection you will likely see the actual effects. It should be relatively calm in your 11’s by then. (Aldo Guerra, MD, Scottsdale Plastic Surgeon)

Movement after Botox

As with many aesthetic procedures there are a lot of myths that patients hear that simply are not medically feasible. Fast acting Botox is one of them. When you are injected with either Botox or Disport the medication travels to the end of a motor nerve and blocks the motion of a chemical responsible to stimulate another nerve going to a muscle which would normally then contract and move.

Botox and Disport prevent this stimulation and thus your muscle can’t move for about 3-4 months. The effects takes up to 14 days to really set. Most patients sense a change in the ability to move certain muscles in about 3 days ( in your case the muscles between your brows) and that gets even more profound at day 6 and by day 14 completely set.

So you are perfectly normal to not see any effect in a day. I would give it a good week and se the results I’m fairly sure you will be pleased. (Glenn Messina, MD, Commack Physician)

Effects of Botox

Botox works by inducing chemical denervation of the injected muscles, typically within one to two days after injection, increasing in intensity during the first week. You should see further improvement throughout the coming days. (Pedro M. Soler, Jr., MD, Tampa Plastic Surgeon)
