Short YouTube excerpt (single-speaker) by Dr. Charles Mok explaining how quickly Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA) activates and how long its effects last: the toxin binds to the muscle within minutes, effects begin after a few days, peak at about two weeks, and typically last three to four months.

Questions this video answers

It attaches to the muscle within minutes.

They start working after a few days.

About two weeks.

Typically three to four months.

How long does it take for Botox to kick in and how long does it last? Great question. So it actually attaches the muscle in a few minutes, but doesn't start working for a few days. So it takes a few days for you to not have the movement of the muscle. And it actually peaks at about two weeks. So somebody has some wrinkles. The muscle might be softer before the wrinkle. Muscle may weaken before the wrinkles are softened, but it peaks at about two weeks and then last typically three to four months. Few days to set in two weeks of peak, stay steady for three to four months.
