What is the recovery like after Botox? Will I need to take time off from work after the Botox injection?
Recovery may be an inappropriate word for the time after receiving Botox, because patients are immediately able to return to their usual activities. Patients can have injections performed on their lunch hour and return to work afterwards. Some minor pain, inflammation, swelling, redness or bruising may occur at the injection site, and is temporary. Botox typically takes three to five days for treatment to show its effect.
