Dr. Singh is recognized as an advanced injector by Allergan (the maker of BOTOX) and trains other physicians about proper injection technique.

BOTOX Basics

What is BOTOX and how does it work? Let's review the basics:

• BOTOX is made with a purified form of botulinum toxin.
• When injected, BOTOX temporarily blocks the nerve impulses to the facial muscles that contract to cause wrinkles.
• When these muscles are relaxed, the skin can lay smooth and wrinkles are reduced, restoring a more youthful look.

BOTOX has been used for many years, even before it was approved by Health Canada for the treatment of frown lines. In fact, it has been licensed since 1990 for the treatment of a number of disorders caused by overactive muscles – and new cosmetic and therapeutic uses for BOTOX continue to emerge. For example, at our practice in Edmonton, we perform BOTOX treatments for hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), TMJ pain, scars, migraines, facial deformities, and to lift the face and neck, as well.

BOTOX Treatments

Treatment with BOTOX is relatively quick and comfortable – without the general anesthesia or incisions associated with surgical methods of facial rejuvenation. With a small needle, BOTOX is carefully injected in the treatment area. Topical anesthetic may be used to minimize any discomfort.

Some people choose to combine their BOTOX treatment with JUVÉDERM® injectable filler. Called a Soft Lift™, this combined procedure also addresses facial folds or creases and adds volume for more comprehensive rejuvenation.

After Treatment

You will be given specific instructions about how to care for your skin after treatment with BOTOX. To ensure optimal results:

• Do not massage the treated area for 4 hours after treatment.
• Work the muscles in the treated area as much as possible for 1 hour after treatment.
• Avoid strenuous activity for 4 hours after treatment.
• Do not lie down for 4 hours after treatment.

You may begin to see results in 2 to 4 days, but maximum results are typically achieved in 7 to 10 days. To get the most from your treatment, it is important to see Dr. Singh for a follow-up appointment in 10 to 14 days for evaluation of results. After your first BOTOX treatment, you can expect your results to last for 4 months on average. To maintain your rejuvenated appearance, schedule an appointment 4 months after your treatment date to have the procedure repeated.
