While Botox has been a household name for years, many people associate it with Hollywood female celebrities. Fortunately, the everyday person can enjoy the same benefits of Botox–and it’s not just for women! Botox for men is just as common and provides the same advantages, creating a more youthful appearance and addressing unwanted fine lines and wrinkles. Let’s look at Botox for men and educate you on what you can expect.
Our team at Essential Derm describes Botox as a neurotoxin protein used to paralyze muscles and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the face. It is made from botulinum toxin A, produced by the bacteria Clostridium Botulinum, and has been approved by the FDA for several years for both medical and cosmetic purposes.
The effects of Botox for men and women typically last anywhere from three to four months. However, this may vary depending on factors such as individual metabolism, lifestyle habits, and the amount and location of injections. When you consult with our team, you can find out when to schedule your appointments to ensure proper maintenance of the results you have achieved.
Absolutely! More and more men are discovering the benefits of Botox injections for reducing the signs of aging and giving them a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance. Men can benefit from Botox in many of the same ways as women – smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines, reducing excessive sweating, and even treating migraines. In addition, Botox can also be used to create a much more defined jawline or to correct asymmetry in facial features.
At Essential Derm, we start with a consultation appointment. During this visit, our team will ask you questions about your medical history and anti-aging treatments you have tried in the past. If you are a proper candidate, we start by cleansing the skin and planning the areas for injections. Injections are made swiftly to maintain as much comfort as possible for our patients. When patients are done, they are provided with aftercare instructions from our team and invited to call if there are any additional concerns or if a new maintenance appointment needs to be made.
It’s important for men to choose an experienced and skilled injector who understands the unique anatomy and needs of male patients. Our team at Essential Derm has extensive experience working with male clients and can provide natural-looking results that enhance their features without looking fake or altered. Drs. Michael Krathen and Sameer Gupta have years of combined experience providing Botox injections for cosmetic purposes.
