The following information has been excerpted from the literature provided by the manufacturer:

Q: How does Botox® work?

A: Low doses of Botox® Cosmetic are administered via a few tiny injections directly into the muscles responsible for frown lines. By blocking the release of a chemical that causes these muscles to contract, Botox Cosmetic enables them to relax.

Q: Will I still be able to make facial expressions?

A: The muscle activity that causes frown lines is reduced so you can still frown and look surprised without the wrinkles and creases.

Q: How long do the effects of Botox® last?

A: The effects of treatment with Botox® typically take up to two weeks to notice results and can last between 3-6 months. Longer lasting effects can be achieved with continuous maintenance treatment.

Q:  I have a big event planned, when should I schedule a Botox® treatment in order to look my best for the event?

A:  Schedule your treatment one month prior to the event.  Botox® takes two weeks to reach its full effect and lasts about four months.  Having it done one month prior to your event allows enough time for any adjustments, if needed, to be made.
