Botox can take from two days to up to two weeks before a line-softening or muscle-relaxing effect occurs. Remember the aim of Botox treatment at Cerulean Medical Institute is not to stop all expression, but to reduce the intensity of the muscle activity that causes the lines in the areas treated. This gives the skin a chance to rest from the repeated furrowing and creasing that can occur hundreds of times a day, enabling the wrinkles or folds to gradually soften over time.
