Short excerpt from a YouTube video (Dr. Charles Mok) that answers a common patient question about Botox timing: the toxin attaches to the muscle within minutes, begins to reduce muscle movement over a few days, peaks at about two weeks, and typically lasts three to four months.

Questions this video answers

Within minutes.

A few days.

About two weeks after injection.

About 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.
