How Long Does Botox Take To Kick In: What To Know Before, During, and After Your Treatment
At Pins and Needles Aesthetics in Camas, Washington, we believe in helping you look as youthful as you feel. Our skilled providers use BOTOX® to create natural-looking results, minimizing forehead wrinkles, frown lines, and crow's feet. Let's walk you through the BOTOX® experience, from consultation to results.
Your Consultation: Setting Expectations
During your initial visit, we'll discuss your goals and recommend the best treatment plan. This is your time to ask questions and prepare for the procedure. To minimize bruising, avoid aspirin, NSAIDs, vitamin E, and omega fatty acids a week before treatment.
Your Appointment: Quick and Comfortable
Your first appointment may be longer, but the injections typically take only 15 minutes. Most patients find the process relatively painless.
Immediately After: Simple Aftercare
You may experience minor redness or bruising. For the first few hours:
Avoid makeup application
Don't rub or massage your face
Skip moderate-intensity activities
Keep your head elevated
The First 24 Hours: Take It Easy
Avoid high-intensity exercise to keep your blood pressure stable. While you might not see immediate results, refrain from touching the treated area or making exaggerated facial expressions.
One Week Later: Results Begin to Show
Any bruising should clear up, and you'll start noticing smoother, more refreshed skin within 5-7 days. Full effects typically appear in 10-14 days.
One Month Later: Enjoying Your Refreshed Look
You'll be experiencing the full benefits of your BOTOX® treatment. Some patients may notice a slight return of movement, depending on the treated area.
Three Months and Beyond: Maintaining Your Results
BOTOX® effects generally last 3-6 months. This is an ideal time to schedule a follow-up. Most patients book maintenance appointments every 3-4 months, though long-term users may need less frequent touch-ups.
