Removal from office needs to be confirmed by a vote in the senate. This likely won't happen in the time before Jan 20th.
Last go around he was impeached in the house, but the senate wouldn't confirm his removal, so he was impeached but still continued as president.
If the senate confirms this time, although it won't happen in time to remove him from office it will make him ineligible to run for presidency in future.

Only being convicted in the senate wouldn’t make him ineligible to run again, I believe that would require a second separate vote to bar him from holding public office again.
