Botox injections around the eyes usually last between three and four months. However, the duration can vary depending on several factors, including the client's metabolism, the amount injected, and the practitioner's technique.
You will start to see the effects of your treatment, with the area looking smoother and more refreshed after just 5 to 7 days. The full effect of your BOTOX injections will be seen between 10 and 14 days.
The effects of Botox are temporary and will gradually wear off within 4 months. If you choose not to have further Botox treatments your muscles will eventually return to normal activity and your facial lines will revert to their pre treatment state. Unfortunately, there is no way to make the Botox wear off any faster.
Possible side effects of Botox around the eyes include: Difficulty breathing or swallowing, which can be fatal. The traveling of the poison from the injection site to other parts of the body, causing severe complications. Shortness of breath.
You may need repeat treatments every 3-4 months to maintain your best results. We don't recommend treatments spaced more frequently than three months, or you could develop a resistance to the Botox's effects.

They can inject Botox into the wrong area or use a dose that's too high, which leads to muscle weakness and droop. You could have trouble fully opening your eyes or vision problems.

Under the Eyes
Eyebrows/Glabella: It's important to know that there are certain areas of the face that Botox (botulinum toxin) should not be injected. The glabella is one of these areas.
Technically no. As above, there is no actual evidence that there is a way to make Botox go away faster. There could be an argument that the massage might stimulate blood flow and increased metabolism to the area speeding up it's regeneration.
This is probably the first question an unhappy patient will ask. Unfortunately, there is no reversal treatment for Botox. Unlike dermal fillers that can be reversed by injecting hyaluronidase, there is no procedure to “undo” Botox.
Take a Zinc Supplement
In a study from the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, researchers found that people who received Botox and then took a 50-milligram zinc supplement saw a significantly longer duration in their results.
By the 14th day, the full results of your Botox treatment should be evident, showcasing a smoother and more refreshed appearance. It is an ideal time to attend your follow-up appointment to ensure everything has gone smoothly and to discuss any adjustments that may enhance your results.

Botox injections are usually safe when you're under the care of a licensed and skilled health care provider. The procedure can result in unwanted results or even cause harm if it's given incorrectly. Possible side effects and unwanted results include: Pain, swelling or bruising at the injection site.
When Botox is injected around the eyelid, the formula migrates to the levator muscle and leaves it unable to control the eyelid in raising or lowering. Eyelid drooping then occurs, causing a saggy appearance and obstructing vision in severe cases.

Botox around the eyes usually lasts anywhere between three and four months. You should start to see the effects of Botox three to seven days after treatment. Botox usually wears off a little quicker after the first treatment but lasts for several months following multiple follow-ups.
Common indicators that Botox may have gone bad include drooping eyelids, uneven results, excessive bruising, or prolonged swelling beyond the expected recovery period. Difficulty swallowing or breathing could also signal that the toxin has spread to unintended areas.
