After a Botox injection, a reduction in the appearance of wrinkles may be noticed in approximately 3 days, with the maximum effect in 2 weeks. The effect from Botox slowly wears off over a period of 3-6 months.
Follow-Up Care
Your medical professional should give you instructions for how to care for the treated area in the coming days. As a general rule, following Botox therapy, do not touch or rub the injection areas for 4 hours. Rubbing these areas may cause the Botox to spread to unintended areas. Your medical professional may also recommend sitting up (not lying down) for approximately 4 hours following Botox injection and avoiding exercise for 24 hours following Botox injection.
