What are Botox Injections?
Botox Injection or Anti-Wrinkle Injections are used to relax the muscles that cause wrinkles and deep lines on an individual’s face. These are generally injected in the gap between the two brows, upper forehead lines, frown lines around the mouth, vertical lip lines, and more. In addition to this, these injections are also used to treat gummy-looking smiles, chronic migraine, bladder dysfunction, and hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating).
What Botox Can Correct
It commonly addresses concerns linked to aging and repeated facial movements such as frowning, smiling, or squinting. These repetitive contractions lead to wrinkles. Most patients request Botox for crow’s feet, forehead and frown lines, or their mouth and lips.
Apart from its cosmetic improvements, it also treats several medical conditions. Botox often relieves chronic migraines. Those experiencing hyperhidrosis, muscle spasms, TMJ, and various facial pain can also benefit from a session.
What Exactly is Botox?
Simply put, it is a purified protein. In its form as a treatment, Botox works by temporarily blocking nerve signals and muscle contractions. This relaxation noticeably reduces wrinkles. As one of the most studied treatments, approved in 98 countries, it’s perfectly safe in the hands of a professional.
Botox’s safety is also well-documented. This has been the subject of hundreds of scientific articles and clinical studies. With a controlled dosage, risk is minimal. This is especially true when administered by a qualified and experienced practitioner, like Dr. Mansher Singh.
Where Can I Receive Botox?
He typically administers an injection in areas prone to dynamic wrinkles. One of the most popular sites is the forehead, where horizontal lines can form from simply raising the eyebrows. The spot between the brows called the glabella, is also common. This addresses deep furrows that can make an individual appear angrier or more tired than they are.
Generally, most patients request Botox injections around their eyes. Though, it can also smooth wrinkles around the mouth, derived from age, smiling, and smoking. Some patients use it to prevent too much of their gums from showing when smiling.
What Happens in a Botox Session
It begins with a consultation, to discuss the patient’s specific goals and assess the areas of concern. Dr. Singh provides detailed explanations of the procedure, discussing the potential effects and longevity of the results. This personalized approach allows each treatment to meet the individual’s needs.
During the session, Dr. Singh uses a needle to precisely inject Botox into specific muscles that cause pronounced wrinkles. The number of injections depends on the areas and the extent required. Typically, the process only requires 15-20 minutes, and patients can immediately return to work and daily activities. Some schedule a session during their lunch break, because of its swiftness.
Who are Good Candidates for Botox?
These are typically individuals who notice the appearance of dynamic wrinkles and lines. These come about with facial movements like frowning, smiling, or squinting. Commonly, they appear as crow’s feet around the eyes, forehead and frown lines, and smile lines.
Good candidates understand that while the treatment can significantly reduce signs of aging, it does not produce permanent results. Patients can also use it preventatively, to halt the formation of new wrinkles and lines. The temporary nature of Botox may require periodic sessions to maintain results.

Botox FAQ
Will it look unnatural?
When administered by a skilled practitioner like Dr. Singh, Botox injections can provide a subtly enhanced, natural appearance. The key is the precise placement. With a specialty in facial plastic surgery, he has advanced knowledge of anatomy and knows where to properly inject.
The goal is enhancement, not perfection. Most patients find that they look refreshed and more youthful, without being obvious that they have had work done. Regular maintenance and following Dr. Singh’s guidance can help sustain a natural, vibrant look.
Is it only for women?
Men can receive Botox treatments, and it’s becoming increasingly commonplace. It offers a unique way for men to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and lines while maintaining a natural, youthful look. Men typically request it to smooth forehead lines and crow’s feet. Dr. Singh customizes the treatment for everyone, ensuring the results are subtle yet effective, making it suitable for men who want to look refreshed without obvious signs of having cosmetic work.
How old do I have to be?
With no strict age requirement for Botox, Dr. Singh recommends it for adults who have noticed lines and wrinkles that they wish to minimize. Most candidates are between the ages of 25-50. However, it can also be a preventative treatment in younger adults, delaying the formation of aging’s signs. To determine the best course of action, consider consulting with an expert, like Dr. Mansher Singh.
Will I instantly notice the results?
The effects of Botox are immediate. Typically, you can start seeing some changes within a few days after the treatment, but the full effects are usually visible after 2 weeks. This delay is because Botox works gradually. The onset of results can vary slightly depending on the individual’s response to the treatment and the areas injected.
How does it compare to a facelift?
These two procedures offer different benefits and suit unique needs. Botox is a minimally invasive, targeted treatment. It has no downtime, and its results are temporary (lasting about 3-6 months). In contrast, facelift is a surgical procedure that can provide more rejuvenation, with dramatic and long-term results.
What is recovery like?
The recovery from Botox injections is minimal, allowing most patients to resume normal activities immediately after the procedure. There may be some minor bruising, redness, or swelling. Though, these side effects mostly subside within 2 weeks, and continue for 3-4 weeks after the treatment. With no significant downtime required, Botox is a convenient option for busy individuals.
