FAQs About injectables

Botox typically starts to show results within 3–5 days after treatment, with full effects visible by 7–10 days. The timing can vary depending on individual factors, like muscle strength and metabolism. At LIV Dermatology & Aesthetics, our skilled injectors ensure precise placement for optimal, natural-looking results. For the best experience, we recommend allowing a week before any important event for Botox to fully take effect.
