Doctor’s answers

Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
How Long Does Botox Take to Work?
Botox versus other treatment
Nov 7, 2017
For most people see maximal benefit at 1-2 weeks, though as you get subsequent treatments the onset tends to be faster, starting as soon as 2-3 days after the injection.
Where are your “frown lines”? Optimal treatment can vary depending on the location of the lines you’re treating. Lines between the brows respond well to Botox, but some deeper lines may also benefit from an injectable filler to treat the deepest ones.
When Will I Notice the Results of the Botox?
Don’t worry, it’s too early to see the effects at 2 days

How Long Before Botox Results Can Be Seen?
Slight variation
Nov 7, 2017
For most people it’s 1-2 weeks, though as you get subsequent treatments the onset tends to be faster, starting as soon as 2-3 days after the injection. You can get Botox as many times as you like. Some people find that they can go as long as 6 months between treatments as the muscles can take 2-3 months to “remember” that they can work after being paralyzed.
How Long Does Botox Last?
3-6 months usually
Nov 7, 2017
While the stated duration of the paralysis of Botox is about 3 months, I’ve found that it takes about 2-3 months for your muscles to “remember” that they can do their function again. My patients who get Botox for tension headaches, for example, find that their headaches don’t return for about 6 months.
What Can I do to drastically improve the under eye wrinkles I have?
Fillers
Nov 7, 2017
Great question, and thank you for posting your photo. I am a big fan of hyaluronic acid fillers for treatment of under eye skin laxity and lines. As we age we lose soft tissue as well as bony volume in the cheek bone area that contributes to the aging appearance of the lower lids. While lower lid surgery can be a good option for some, many people can avoid surgery by doing fillers in this area. They do require some maintenance, but they tend to last 1-2 years…
I am getting wrinkles around my eyes when I smile that I dislike! Any suggestions? Perhaps Botox
Maybe not Botox?
Nov 7, 2017
It looks like the lines in your photo are mostly under the eye rather than at the outside corners (crow’s feet). Botox is wonderful for crow’s feet, though does require maintenance usually every 3-6 months. The lines UNDER the eyes can be due to the character of the lower eyelid skin, something more difficult to treat. I would recommend going to a plastic surgeon and having him or her evaluate your skin there to see if a topical skin care treatment regimen may help…
