“How soon do you see results after neuromodulators?” Our Toronto-based team knows that this is one of the most common wrinkle injection-related questions people search for online when they’re researching treatment options. They may also be wondering about how quickly facial fillers take effect.
- Neuromodulators
Patients will undoubtedly be excited to see the results from botulinum toxin injections but it’s important to keep in mind that they do take a few days to take effect. Don’t be alarmed if you don’t instantly see results as soon as the session is over. Most people will start to notice the desired effects from neuromodulators within three or four days, but you may need to wait ten to fourteen days for results to finalize. The results depend on factors such as the area that is injected and the frequency of injections, along with the dose of the product. When neuromodulators are used on finer lines such as crow’s feet and mild forehead wrinkles, the results usually appear faster. On the other hand, they may take a longer time to set in when used for very deep and etched in wrinkles. The reason for this delay is that it takes some time for the neuromodulator to affect the muscle fibres and stop or weaken the wrinkle-causing muscle contraction.
- Facial Fillers
The time it takes for facial filler results to show depends on the type of filler you have and your metabolism. The results from most hyaluronic acid fillers are usually instant. You are likely to see a visible result right after injection. The best results are typically seen when any swelling or bruising dissipates. It can take a longer time for collagen stimulators or biostimulatory injections such as poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) to work. It may take at least one month for your skin to look plumper and fuller after PLLA injections and even up to several months for optimal results. These types of injections take some extra time to see the effect because collagen stimulators work by encouraging your own fibroblasts to produce more collagen – a gradual process that can take several months.
