Botox is an FDA-approved drug that can temporarily smooth facial wrinkles, including frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines.
Generally, it takes 24 to 72 hours for the effects to start working, and they usually last up to 4 months. The time between treatments varies with the individual, as some people may experience longer-lasting effects. Results may take up to three days to become visible. This is because it takes time for Botox to relax the facial muscles so your skin is smoother.
People should avoid getting Botox if they are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if they have had an allergic reaction to the drug or any of its ingredients.

Other medical conditions where Botox can be beneficial
Botox can treat a number of other health conditions, including:
What’s it like to get a Botox treatment?
A Botox treatment typically takes less than 20 minutes (although your initial appointment may be longer, as your dermatologist will discuss your goals and whether Botox is right for you).
During a Botox session, you’ll sit on a reclining chair as the clinician asks you to make facial expressions – like smiling or frowning – to determine the best injection sites. The entire process from the moment you arrive to the time you walk out the door typically takes less than half an hour.
Best of all, there’s no down time. After your treatment, you’re ready to go. Your dermatologist may advise against any strenuous activity like exercise for the first 24 hours or touching the skin around the injection sites. Other than that, you are ready to resume normal activity.
Botox results can vary depending on the dose, the desired look, and the area of the face being treated. For instance, you may see results more quickly in areas with finer lines, like the corners of the eyes, than in areas with deeper lines, like between the eyebrows.
Drop by one of our offices at Walk-in Dermatology and we can discuss the right treatment for you. Again, no appointment necessary.
