How Botox works
Botox works by relaxing muscles and blocking nerve endings which are responsible for both static and dynamic wrinkles. It is a quick treatment taking about 20 minutes to complete depending on the area being treated and it does not have any downtime. You can have it over the lunch hour period and get back to your activities right after. It has little to no discomfort and involves the use of a small needle which will feel more like a prick.
The results of a Botox treatment are usually visible within 2 to 7 days following the procedure and last for about 6 months. Thereafter, regular treatments are needed to maintain the results.
Why men are getting Botox
Men just want to look as good compared to their female counterparts. And in this age of social media, celebrities and influencers getting antiaging treatments such as Botox, chemical peels, micro-needling, and Ultherapy among others, men are joining facial rejuvenation bandwagon. They are improving their appearance so as to improve personal and professional relationships, stay competitive in the workplace or just to appear more desirable. They tend to go for a subtle, natural look that would keep them ‘unchanged’.
Men generally get Botox to soften and eliminate crow’s feet, wrinkles, and lines between the eyes for a more refreshed and youthful appearance. The furrowing or frown lines on the brow areas that men tend to develop especially with aging can sometimes come across as a negative emotion that is unintended. By getting Botox, it can soften the look between the eyes, on the forehead, and around the eyes, resulting in a more inviting appearance. It can also prevent wrinkles from forming in these areas.
