Women have always been more conscious and focused on their looks and appearance than men. Whether by stereotype or maternal instinct, Botox and other dermal fillers have mostly been performed on women. As times changed and the arrival of the metro man changed the way society sees men and how they view themselves, Botox has become more popular among men to slow down the signs of aging and give them a healthier, smoother appearance.

 

We have a look at the benefits of Botox for men and why there is such an increase in the use of Botox among today’s males:

 

Why Botox Among Men Is on the Increase
As usual, societal, workplace and social media pressure prescribe what male and female roles should be, and over the last ten years, the look and the ‘stereotype’ of being male have changed significantly. From being more understood as humans with feelings that need to be expressed rather than the patriarch who always has to be strong for everyone, men evolved into something better. They are encouraged to take better care of themselves, talk about their emotions, foster self-love and take care of their mind, body and soul to be a better partner and have a happier life.

 

Although there are many Botox myths, it is no surprise that Botox is one of the options that men embrace to look better and hide the signs of aging and years of skin neglect. Let’s have a look at why men can also benefit from Botox.

 

What is Botox?
There are many questions about Botox you may have. First and foremost, usually is, what is it exactly? Botox is a non-surgical toxin treatment that can be injected into areas where aging is more prominent. The treatment is injected into the area at one or several sites, with a numbing cream applied to reduce the pain of the injection. The toxin will freeze the muscles at the injection site, and you won’t see the previously evident wrinkles after being “frozen” in a smooth setting.

Main Benefits of Botox for Men
Botox aims to reduce lines and wrinkles through a quick and easy procedure performed by professionals. Often dubbed the lunchtime procedure, the entire appointment only takes about 15 minutes and is not as invasive as plastic surgery. Here are the benefits of Botox:

 

1. Minimal downtime, with the worst being mild swelling around the area for a few hours with no visible, lasting scar afterward, unlike weeks of recovery from surgery. Not a high price to pay for maintaining your youthful look.
2. Not as painful. Men and pain don’t always go well together. You will experience minor discomfort at the injection site, but a numbing cream can ease the pain during the procedure.
3. Migraines be gone. Botox can also help if you suffer from migraines. Botox can also remove the pain as it causes temporary muscle paralysis; it releases a chemical called acetylcholine that numbs the nerve endings, causing migraine pain.
4. Other medical uses. Because the Botox procedure is so quick, we can target many areas of your body in one session. Botox is most often requested on the face. Still, it can also help with hidrosis (excessive sweating), squinting (relaxes the eye muscle), an overactive bladder (paralyzes the overactive muscles), or neck spasms.
5. Results you can see. Botox, done by professionals in a safe environment, can take years off your face. The results will speak for themselves, and it is a minor procedure you should come back for every four to six months; that will give you a lasting, youthful appearance as long as you maintain it.

 

 

How Much Does it Cost?
The first thing everyone always wants to know is how much an injection costs? The average cost per injection is around $400, but it depends on the injection site, how much of the toxin is used and how many injections you want to receive. It is best to check with your health insurance to see if they will cover the cost since it is cosmetic. Botox makes youth more obtainable for everyone in an easy, quick, less invasive way that is kind to your budget and your face.

Most Popular Areas
There are some Botox mistakes you need to avoid, chief among them getting injections in an area that will not suit you. The best areas to use Botox would be the corner of the eyes to reduce the appearance of crow’s feet, the forehead to reduce frown lines, and the corners of the mouth to reduce the lines formed by many happy memories. Botox works best on fine lines. We might recommend another dermal filler for scars and deeper lines to achieve the desired results.

Testimonial from Joseph, Satisfied Botox Patient
Been hearing a lot of great things about The Laser Cafe through friends & social media, so I decided to check them out! First of all: the second you walk in you are welcomed by the wonderful staff, I was fortunate enough to meet JAMES who is the manager & he was able to set me up with a consultation super-fast. James went ahead & explained all the services in a detailed way to where I felt comfortable & felt like I would be in great hands with the treatments I had in mind receiving. He knows so much to where he had me in a “WOW”. I got the consult which went great & also there I was able to ask some of the questions I had before everything.
