The effects of botulinum toxin are not immediate. The typical timeline is:

3-4 days: You begin to notice subtle muscle relaxation.
7-10 days: Results more evident
14 days: Full effect achieved

The average duration is 4-6 months, although this varies depending on your individual metabolism, the dose applied and the area treated. Many patients who receive regular treatments find that the effects last progressively longer as the muscles are “trained” to remain more relaxed. We schedule a follow-up appointment after two weeks to evaluate results and make minor adjustments if necessary.
