The result of Botox® can usually be seen after 48 hours, and its maximum effect, in 15 days. It is not necessary to rest after application, however, it is recommended that in the following hours do not practice physical exercises and do not massage or rub the place.
The duration of application varies between 3 to 4 months, but there are cases where the result can last up to 6 months. There must be a minimum interval of 3 months between each application, and if this time is not followed, there is a risk of the organism developing resistance to the product, causing the botulinum toxin to lose its effect.
After the procedure, small bruises may appear due to the introduction of the needle into the skin, which can puncture blood vessels but will soon be absorbed by the body. The procedure is generally well tolerated by patients, for those who are more sensitive, an anesthetic ointment or local ice can be used to minimize local discomfort.
