What is BOTOX?

BOTOX, scientifically known as Botulinum toxin, is among the world’s most popular non-surgical solutions for addressing various signs of facial aging. By temporarily relaxing the underlying muscles that cause wrinkles, BOTOX smooths away lines and rejuvenates your appearance. Beyond its cosmetic benefits, BOTOX is also used to treat several medical conditions, such as chronic migraines, excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), and muscle disorders.

What Can BOTOX Correct?

BOTOX is a versatile treatment that effectively addresses a range of cosmetic and medical concerns:

  • Frown Lines: Smooth the vertical lines between the eyebrows, often called “11” lines.
  • Forehead Lines and Eyebrow Lifting: Reduces horizontal lines on the forehead and subtly lifts the brows for a more open, refreshed look.
  • Crow’s Feet: Diminishes fine lines around the eyes caused by smiling or squinting.
  • Chin Dimples: Softens the appearance of a dimpled or “orange peel” chin.
  • Jaw Tension: This relieves tension in the jaw muscles, which can also help with TMJ disorders.
  • Asymmetrical Face Structure: Helps balance facial asymmetry by relaxing specific muscles.
  • Jawline Slimming: A square-looking jaw can be slimmed with customized BOTOX injections, creating a more feminine V-shaped chin structure.

In addition to these aesthetic enhancements, BOTOX is also used to treat various medical conditions, including chronic migraines, hyperhidrosis, muscle spasms, and TMJ.

How Does BOTOX Work?

BOTOX is a purified protein that temporarily blocks nerve signals to the targeted muscles. This relaxation of the muscles leads to a noticeable reduction in wrinkles and fine lines. As one of the most extensively studied treatments worldwide, BOTOX is approved in most countries and has a long-standing safety record when administered by a qualified professional like Dr. Singh.

Am I a Candidate for BOTOX injections?

Dr. Singh typically administers BOTOX in areas prone to dynamic wrinkles—those caused by facial movements such as frowning, smiling, or squinting:

  • Forehead: Smooths away the horizontal forehead creases formed by raising the eyebrows.
  • Glabella (Between the Brows): Treats deep furrows that can create an angry or tired appearance.
  • Around the Eyes: Reduces crow’s feet and other wrinkles caused by smiling and squinting.
  • Mouth Area: Softens lines around the mouth and can even help with a gummy smile.

What to Expect with BOTOX Injections by Dr. Singh in NYC

Your BOTOX treatment begins with a thorough consultation with Dr. Singh, who will discuss your specific goals, assess the areas of concern, and advise you on what he recommends. His personalized approach ensures that each treatment is tailored to meet your needs and aesthetic desires. With almost 500 positive patient reviews on RealSelf—an unprecedented number—he is among the most accomplished and trusted plastic surgeons in NYC.

You can trust Dr. Singh to use BOTOX most effectively without overdoing it, so the lines are less visible without creating a frozen look. Dr. Singh uses a fine needle during the session to precisely inject BOTOX into the targeted muscles. The number of injections depends on the treated areas and the extent of correction needed. The procedure typically takes 15 to 20 minutes, allowing you to immediately return to your usual activities, whether work or play. 

Who is a Good Candidate for BOTOX?

Good candidates for BOTOX are typically individuals who have begun to notice the appearance of dynamic wrinkles—those formed by facial expressions such as frowning, smiling, or squinting. Patients who use BOTOX preventatively to delay the formation of new wrinkles and lines find it highly effective. While BOTOX can significantly reduce signs of aging, the effect is temporary and will require periodic sessions.

How Long Does BOTOX Last?

BOTOX results typically last between three to six months, depending on individual factors such as metabolism, the specific areas treated, and the frequency of muscle movement in those areas. As the effects gradually wear off, muscle activity returns, and wrinkles or lines begin to reappear. Schedule regular follow-up treatments to maintain a fresh, smooth, youthful appearance. Dr. Singh will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your goals, ensuring long-lasting and natural-looking results.

Will it look unnatural?

When administered by a skilled practitioner like Dr. Singh, BOTOX injections provide a subtly enhanced, natural appearance. Dr. Singh’s advanced knowledge of facial anatomy allows for precise placement, ensuring you look refreshed without looking as if you had the injections.

Is it only for women?

BOTOX is not just for women—men increasingly seek BOTOX treatments to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and maintain a youthful look. Dr. Singh customizes treatments for each patient, ensuring subtle yet effective results that suit both men and women.

How old do I have to be?

BOTOX for cosmetic enhancement cannot be performed on those under 18. While most candidates are between 25 and 50 years old, it can be used preventatively in younger adults to delay the onset of wrinkles. A consultation with Dr. Singh will help determine the best course of action.

Will I instantly notice the results?

Results from BOTOX are not immediate. You may start to see changes within a few days, but the full effects typically become visible after about two weeks. The results develop gradually as the muscle relaxation takes effect.

How does it compare to a facelift?

BOTOX and facelifts offer different benefits. BOTOX is a minimally invasive, temporary treatment ideal for targeting specific wrinkles and lines with no downtime. A facelift is a surgical procedure that provides comprehensive and long-term facial rejuvenation.

What is the recovery like?

Recovery from BOTOX is minimal, allowing you to resume normal activities immediately after the procedure. Some patients may experience minor bruising or swelling, but these side effects usually subside quickly, making BOTOX a convenient option for busy individuals.
