How Long Does It Take to See Results from Aesthetic Treatments?
At Clínica CIME, one of the most common questions we get from patients is:
“When will I start to see the results of my treatment?”
Modern aesthetic medicine offers a wide range of options to rejuvenate the face and body — but each treatment has its own timeline, benefits, and duration.
Here’s a clear explanation of how long it takes for the most popular treatments to take effect, and what you can expect after undergoing them.
Expression Wrinkle Treatment with Botulinum Toxin
Botulinum toxin (commonly known as Botox) relaxes the facial muscles responsible for expression lines in the upper third of the face: forehead, glabella, and crow’s feet.
When are results visible?
You’ll start noticing improvement within 3 to 5 days, with full results at 14 days.
How long do results last?
Between 3 to 4 months, depending on individual muscle activity, metabolism, and lifestyle.
Hyaluronic Acid: Hydration, Volume & Rejuvenation
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is one of the most versatile treatments available. It is used to:
- Fill wrinkles and folds.
- Restore or enhance volume.
- Deeply hydrate the skin.
- Sculpt features like lips, cheeks, or chin.
When are results visible?
Immediately after treatment, although the final effect is best appreciated after 2 weeks, once swelling has gone down and the product has settled.
How long do results last?
Between 6 to 18 months, depending on the treated area, product density, and skin type.
Radiesse: Instant Lift + Long-Term Collagen Stimulation
Radiesse is a collagen stimulator made from calcium hydroxyapatite. It’s ideal for firming sagging skin, contouring the jawline, tightening the neck, and rejuvenating the hands.
When are results visible?
It has a dual action: an immediate lifting effect and a delayed regenerative effect that becomes visible between 3 to 6 weeks after treatment.
How long do results last?
Between 12 and 18 months.
Where can it be used?
Face (mid and lower third), neck, and hands.
Sculptra: Natural, Long-Lasting Rejuvenation
Sculptra is composed of poly-L-lactic acid, a powerful biostimulator that promotes natural collagen production over time. It doesn’t provide instant volume but gradually improves skin firmness and elasticity.
When are results visible?
Initial results appear around 3 to 6 weeks post-treatment, with the full effect visible at 2 to 3 months.
How long do results last?
Over 2 years.
Where can it be used?
Face, abdomen, arms, knees, and other areas with volume loss or skin laxity.
