How long does it take for wrinkle removal injections to take effect

Wrinkles are the biggest killer of youthful beauty. Once wrinkles appear on the face, it means that the body has begun to age. Of course, for some people who are under great work pressure and work long-term, wrinkles may begin to appear at a younger age. In order to regain smooth and delicate skin, many people choose to go to the hospital for anti-wrinkle injections. So, how long does it take for anti-wrinkle injections to take effect? The details will be introduced below!

1. The effect of Botox wrinkle injection will be seen two days later

Botulinum toxin is a commonly used material for anti-wrinkle injections. It usually takes effect within 24-48 hours after the injection. The patient can feel the previous wrinkles gradually disappear after two days. The reason why Botox wrinkle-removing injections take effect two days later is because the action of Botox is to temporarily paralyze the muscles and stop their contraction, thereby tightening the facial skin and eliminating facial wrinkles. This process takes a certain amount of time.

Some foreign doctors have stated that the wrinkle removal effect is not very obvious in the first two days after injecting botulinum toxin, and most people will observe a more obvious wrinkle removal effect within 5 days.

2. Injection of hyaluronic acid wrinkle-removing injection has immediate effect

Hyaluronic acid is also used as a material for injectable wrinkle-removing injections. It usually takes effect quickly after injection. This is because hyaluronic acid can quickly fuse with the hyaluronic acid under the epidermis after injection. Therefore, after the doctor's injection is completed, the patient can see the effect within a relatively short time.

3. How long can the effect of anti-wrinkle injection last?

1. Botox wrinkle injections can be continued for 3-6 months

The effect of using botulinum toxin injections to remove wrinkles can generally last for 3-6 months. This is because botulinum toxin is a neurotoxin, and its muscle paralyzing effect will gradually disappear due to the body's metabolism. Therefore, the patient needs to undergo multiple treatments within a year so that the treatment effect can last longer.

2. Hyaluronic acid wrinkle injection can be continued for 6-9 months

The effect of wrinkle removal using hyaluronic acid generally lasts for 6-9 months. This is because the human body will gradually absorb the injected hyaluronic acid, and each person metabolizes and absorbs hyaluronic acid at different rates. If the hospital for wrinkle removal injections is well chosen and the patient cooperates with postoperative care, the hyaluronic acid effect can be maintained for a longer period of time, with the longest maintenance time being about two years. Some institutions and social media circles claim that hyaluronic acid injections for wrinkle removal can last for 10 years or more. This is not credible. Those seeking beauty should keep their eyes open and choose carefully.
