No, anti-wrinkle injections do not provide instant results. The effects start to become noticeable after 2-3 days, with final results appearing after 1-2 weeks. It takes a few days for existing fine lines and wrinkles to fade or disappear, and for the treatment to prevent further skin creasing, thus improving the long-term appearance of the skin.

Anti-wrinkle injections are a non-surgical treatment, and thus, they are largely painless. Patients who are uncomfortable with needles may feel mild discomfort during the injection. This discomfort is typically brief, often described as a slight pinching sensation that lasts only a few seconds. If needed, a topical numbing agent can be used to ensure a completely painless experience.

No, stopping anti-wrinkle injections will not make your wrinkles appear worse. These injections work by gradually reducing the movement of hyperactive muscles. When their effects wear off, the treated skin returns to its natural state. If you stop the injections, wrinkles will gradually return, but they will do so at a slower rate compared to if you had never used the injections in the first place.
