Botox Injections for Men
Answered by admin
Unsure of what to get the man in your life for Father’s Day, his birthday, an anniversary, or some other special event? Maybe you should get him Botox injections. “Brotox” – Botox injections for men – is quickly growing in popularity.
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, between 2000 and 2010, there was a 258 percent increase in the number of men undergoing treatment with botulinum toxin type A. In fact, more men in 2010 chose Botox treatment than any other form of cosmetic surgery or enhancement, the society reported, with 336,834 procedures performed on male patients by their member surgeons.
Part of the reason for the boost in male Botox is that men are increasingly being gifted with Botox, and it’s not just older men. More and more men are beginning to have Botox treatments at earlier ages, even as early as in their thirties.
Men tend to use Botox to smooth out a furrowed brow that otherwise makes them look angry. Many are bothered by forehead wrinkles and the wrinkles between the eyebrows. Some doctors believe that there is a notable difference between men and women who seek Botox treatments — men tend to request spot treatment for smoothing of specific facial details whereas women tend to want a complete makeover. Men also tend to prefer Botox because the effects are temporary, lasting only three to four months.
The cost of Botox for men falls in the same price range as it does for women. Side-effects include slight redness and swelling at the injection site.
