Normally, your brain sends electrochemical messages to your muscles to make them contract and move. These messages are transmitted from a nerve to the muscle by a substance called acetylcholine. When too much acetylcholine is released, muscles become overly active and spasm or tense up.

BOTOX® blocks the nerve from releasing acetylcholine. As a result, the muscle spasms stop or are greatly reduced, providing relief from symptoms. Dr. Fam will know how much BOTOX® is needed to treat you effectively.
Results are noticeable three to fourteen days after injection. The paralysis is temporary, with some claiming that the effect lasts from two to five months, and others saying three to eight months. The procedure is safe enough though that it can be repeated after the effect wears off.

Each treatment typically lasts up to 3-6 months and can be repeated as long as your condition responds to BOTOX® and you do not have any serious allergic reactions or other significant side effects. BOTOX® has been used for more than 15 years to help patients worldwide, and although formal, long-term clinical evaluations have not been conducted, its safety in long-term use has been well established.
Although most people continue to respond to BOTOX® injections, some people have experienced a diminished response over time. There may be several explanations for this:

Changes in your condition - If the pattern of your muscle activity changes, your healthcare provider may need to inject new muscles and/or change your dose. Identifying and injecting the affected muscle can be difficult, complicated by the changing pattern of muscle involvement and progression of the disorder.
Setting appropriate expectations - You may believe your first BOTOX® injection was more helpful than subsequent injections. That's because your condition was perhaps quite severe when you had your first injection. Subsequent injections are usually given before your condition becomes that severe again. Therefore, the relief you experienced with subsequent injections may not have been as dramatic as the first time.
Antibody formation - When foreign proteins, like botulinum toxins, enter your body, antibodies may form. If antibodies to botulinum toxin develop, you may no longer respond to treatment.
