A typical Botox treatment only takes a few minutes. Your doctor may have already prepared the dilutions before you get to the clinic for your appointment. All that remains is locating the right muscles and administering the injections. You can always get right back to work or resume your daily activities on the day you receive your Botox shot. You have to remember that the first few hours after your injection is crucial if you are to avoid unwanted effects. Refrain from rubbing the injection site or lying down within that period to prevent Botox migration.

Botox injections typically wear off in about three to six months. Your wrinkles may start re-appearing within the said period and you may need to start thinking about getting another shot. The appearance of wrinkles may be permanently prevented with long term use of Botox.
