BOTOX is not just for women. Hundreds of thousands of men in the United States receive BOTOX treatments every year. Whether treatments are performed between the eyebrows, across the forehead, or around the mouth, BOTOX can be as highly effective for men as it is for women. Men in their thirties start to see frown lines and forehead creases become more noticeable. Often, they turn to BOTOX cosmetic as a solution to that problem. BOTOX helps them looked fresh and years younger for important business meetings and other social occasions.* Men, just like women, don’t want to walk around looking sad, tired, or angry.*
BOTOX is highly effective with minimal side effects and risk. BOTOX for men not only minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles but also stops them from getting worse.* Reducing the signs of aging with BOTOX cosmetic leaves you looking fresh, young, and ready for your next power lunch.*
*Individual results may vary
Avoid taking aspirin, NSAIDs, ibuprofen, Vitamin E, fish oil supplements and other anticoagulant medications several days before receiving BOTOX injections. Men taking Coumadin or Warfarin should not be getting BOTOX injections. Also, do not drink alcohol 24 hours before your treatment.
After administration of BOTOX, do not massage or rub the injection sites. Avoid heavy physical activity for at least 24 hours after receiving injections. Your injector will advise you not to lie down (sitting upright is fine) for around four hours following treatment. The possibility exists that lying down may facilitate the spread of BOTOX to other parts of the body, which may cause unwanted side effects.
BOTOX is not just beneficial for women, men too get wrinkles, and a forehead injection treatment of BOTOX can significantly improve moderate to severe glabellar lines (furrows between the brows). BOTOX is also approved to reduce the appearance of fine lines extending from the corners of the eyes (crow’s feet).
BOTOX injections for men consist of injections into the muscles responsible for wrinkles and frown lines using a very small needle. Most BOTOX treatment sessions take less than 15 minutes, depending on the severity of the wrinkling. Men getting BOTOX injections report brief, minimal discomfort upon receiving injections. Anesthetic creams or cold packs may be used to numb the injection site if requested. No downtime is associated with BOTOX injections.
Within a few days, men getting BOTOX will see improvements in frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead wrinkles. Reduction of wrinkles generally continues for several weeks, with final results lasting as long as four to five months. However, individual results vary and depend on multiple factors such as skin condition, genetics and severity of wrinkling. Most men need repeat BOTOX injections every three to four months.
Common side effects associated with BOTOX for men include localized tenderness, slight bleeding and temporary bruising. Rarer side effects may be experienced by a small percentage of men: dry mouth, neck pain, blurry vision, drooping eyelids and headache. Your nurse will discuss all side effects that can occur from BOTOX injections and offer advice about whether you should seek medical attention.
Typically, when you begin BOTOX injections you will need to repeat the process every three to four months. Patients report that with repeated injections they can go longer in between treatments. Some patients have their BOTOX injections once per year because they have been getting this highly effective wrinkle treatment on a regular basis.
