Botox: Wrinkles in 1 Week, Jaw in 1 Month?
Botox effects: wrinkles in 1 week, square jaw in 1 month? A comprehensive summary of effects by timeline.
Why do the effects of wrinkle Botox and muscle Botox differ? An explanation of the mechanism of action of Botox.
There is so much to talk about Botox
that I am going to proceed by dividing it into several sections.
[Table of Contents - Contents may change continuously!] https://beautystone1.com Botox Summary of Botox effects 2.1 Botox for muscles 2.2 Botox for the dermis Today, I am going to talk about the effects of Botox which can be broadly divided into two categories.
Muscle paralysis Botox that does not move the muscles Muscle reduction Botox that causes the muscles to shrink
These two are not inherently different even if the same Botox is used because the effects we obtain are different.
(*Occasionally there are overlaps, e.g., glabellar Botox—I'll explain more later!)
First,
Botox was initially used for diseases that present symptoms of spasticity in muscles, such as cerebral palsy !!
It is important to note that it ultimately prevents muscle contraction.
In the end, preventing muscle contraction is the most important aspect.
The fact that this contraction does not occur brings two effects. 1. Muscle paralysis Botox that does not move the muscles Temporary muscle paralysis through Botox does not show immediately
but begins to take effect from the 3rd day, with almost all effects visible by the 7th day!
The reason for facial wrinkles is to put it simply it is because the muscles move!
The more strongly this moves, the deeper the wrinkles become.
This is why men's wrinkles are deeper. By simply blocking the movement of this muscle, the wrinkles that hold strongly become held more lightly.. Thus, the effects appear quickly! The most important concept here is when you are lying down or have a cast due to injury
have you ever noticed that your calf shrinks when you don't use it?
It is a very important concept that it does not shrink if not used.
Using Botox in this context involves
Representative jaw Botox Temporalis Botox Jawline Botox Trapezius Muscle Calf Arm Biceps
It exists like this
and as you can see from the photos, after 2 weeks to a month
you can see that the size decreases. you perceive any part of your body and face as large, try touching it,,,? If it's muscle, it's easy to reduce, and if it's fat, it can be reduced, but bones are difficult to reduce. Thank you~!

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. How long does it take to see Botox results for wrinkles versus muscle reduction like a square jaw?
Muscle-paralysis Botox for wrinkles typically starts showing effects around day 3, with most of the visible change by day 7. Muscle-reduction effects, such as for a square jaw, tend to build more gradually and become noticeable after about 2 weeks to a month. The exact timeline can vary from person to person.
Q2. Why do wrinkle Botox and square jaw Botox work at different speeds if it's the same substance?
Both rely on the same mechanism — blocking muscle contraction — but the visible outcome differs by area. For wrinkles, blocking the muscle movement that creates the fold shows up quickly once the muscle relaxes. For jaw muscles, the change comes from the muscle gradually shrinking from disuse, similar to how a limb in a cast loses size over time, which naturally takes longer to appear.
Q3. Does Botox hurt, and is there downtime?
The article doesn't detail pain levels or downtime specifics, but Botox injections are generally described as quick in the broader treatment landscape. Sensitivity can vary by individual and by the area being treated. It's best to ask your provider directly about what to expect for your specific case.
Q4. Who is a good candidate for muscle-reduction Botox versus wrinkle Botox?
Wrinkle Botox is generally aimed at expression lines caused by strong, repeated muscle movement, which is why deeper wrinkles are often more common in people with more forceful muscle activity. Muscle-reduction Botox, used for areas like the jaw, temporalis, or calves, targets muscles that are more developed than needed. A consultation can help determine which category applies to your concern, since areas and goals can overlap.
