BOTOX Calgary - FAQ

HOW LONG DO THE EFFECTS OF A BOTOX COSMETIC TREATMENT LAST?

The effects of a Botox Cosmetic Treatment usually last approx. 3-4 months, at which time another injection is required. After several treatments, the effects may begin to last longer. The injections cause very little discomfort but your health care provider may numb the area beforehand. You should not bend over or lie down for 6 hours after an injection to keep the toxin from spreading to other muscles. It generally takes up to 4 days for Botox to start relaxing the muscles but for some patients it can take up to a week to start to see results. To keep the effects, you will need to repeat treatments every 3-6 months.
