Yes, it’s true, Botox® is not a procedure exclusive to women. Although the facial features of men and women age differently, the benefits of Botox® don’t discriminate. Providence Facial Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery and plastic surgery centers throughout the country have noticed an increase in men requesting Botox® procedures.
Cosmetic Enhancement is for Men
The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery reported that in 2011 more than 264,000 male patients received some sort of facial procedure (and that number is always growing). Popular cosmetic procedure for men include:
- Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Rejuvenation)
- Lower Rhytidectomy (Neck Lift)
- Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery)
In addition, experts have noticed that men often prefer (and are more comfortable seeking) subtle types of treatments over radical procedures. Botox® is a very mild treatment. The drug inside the injection is a paralytic used to stabilize the muscles of the face and keep them from causing wrinkles. A numbing cream is applied prior to the procedure, even though it is typically painless.
The appointment for your Botox® treatment will last about one hour, and you can return to your normal daily activities immediately – no down time!
