Botox typically begins to show effects within 2 to 3 days after treatment, with many people noticing smoother skin and reduced wrinkles by day 3–5. Full effect often appears by about 1–2 weeks, and maximum results can take up to 14 days in some cases. Individual factors such as the treated area, injection amount, muscle activity, age, and skin type can influence onset and intensity. Key timeline
- Early signs: 2–3 days after injection
- Noticeable improvement: about 3–5 days
- Full effect: about 1–2 weeks
- Maximum results: up to 14 days for some patients
- Duration: typically 3–4 months, depending on individual factors
If you’re not seeing effects by day 14, consider contacting the clinician who did the treatment to assess whether anything needs adjustment.
