When does botulinum toxin start working, and for how long?
The effects of botulinum toxin usually develop over several days. The timing of assessment and any follow-up depend on the product, area and individual course. Its effects are temporary and may last for several months; their strength and duration vary.

Data & study design
Personal experience
Personal accounts can offer insight into expectations and recovery. They do not allow firm conclusions about your own outcome. The main considerations are your clinical findings, the chosen method, clear explanations and reliable aftercare. When viewing photographs, consider how they were taken and how much time had passed since treatment.
How safe is Botox treatment today?
How safe botulinum toxin treatment is for you depends on the findings, product, dose and personal risks. Even correctly used medicines can cause side effects. Depending on the area, these may include pain, bruising or unwanted weakening of nearby muscles.
Rarely, more widespread toxin effects can cause serious symptoms. Difficulty swallowing, speaking or breathing requires immediate medical help. Units of different products are not freely interchangeable; dosing and use follow the relevant product information and medical assessment.
