It also creates severe to moderate forehead lines, frown lines and crow’s feet. It is rather regarded to be a straightforward and safe procedure.

How long does it take for botox to work? You can expect its full effects in about 10-14 days of completion of the procedure.

How long does it take for botox to work?

Botox effects can be noticed in about 3-4 days after taking the injection. Most patients tend to witness the results in approximately 10-14 days. However, to derive maximum results, you should wait for 14 days.

However, the results are likely to vary depending on different factors like injection frequency and area treated. The results generally tend to last for around three months.

Beside injection frequency and area treated, timeline efficacy is affected by Botox dosage. Higher the dosage provided in an area, longer is likely to be the effect experienced on the muscles.

‘Natural’ looking lighter dosing is likely to last for just 6-8 weeks. On the other hand, heavier dosing including more units is likely to last for 6+ months. However, you are likely to experience ‘paralyze’ appearing on the muscles like frown lines.

Due to the difference noticed in results, there is a delicate balance between duration, desired look and dose. It is essential to discuss these aspects with the healthcare provider before getting treatment. Doing so will help set proper expectations.

If you plan to take Botox injections, you should not take it lightly. Although it is a safe and simple procedure, this elective procedure comes with its own risks.

You should be well aware of the risks involved, timeline and proper dosage required to meet your specific needs.
