Botox in the elevens. I can still see the wrinkles. Do you think it's the way she injected or the Botox she used?

It takes 2 weeks to see the final results of Botox/Dysport. Sometimes elevens can be too deep to completely go away after botox, but if you are still having movement at that time, please follow up with your injector for additional units. It would also be helpful to have a "before" photo of you frowning for comparison. Hope that helps!

Clinical Context

Lines that remain visible after Botox can come from a few things: not enough units for the muscle strength, injections that didn't fully cover the muscle, not enough time since treatment, or deep lines etched into the skin from years of movement, which soften gradually over time rather than disappearing after one treatment. Comparing a photo taken while frowning before treatment to one now, at full follow-up, helps your injector tell which cause applies and whether more units would help.
