A Mens guide to their first botox treatment

Looking more distinguished or rugged with a few fine lines or wrinkles is desirable to some men, while others seek to smooth out wrinkles to age gracefully. Many patients in the latter group take action to regain their youthful and clear complexions with skin care products and Botox. 

Botox injections can offer a subtle relaxation of wrinkles and help men to feel more confident in a society that often correlates youth with success, strength, and attractiveness.

WHAT IS BOTOX

Botox helps to blocks nerve signals to the specific facial muscles responsible for forming lines and wrinkles in the skin. By relaxing these muscles, wrinkles are smoothed away like a great Instagram filter. When injected artistically you’ll still be able to express your beautiful self, except without the lines and creases. Men commonly receive Botox treatments to the forehead, in between the eyebrows, and around the eyes.

FIRST BOTOX TREATMENT

Men should seek a medical professional that regularly perform Botox on men. Male patients often require more Botox and a different injection technique due to stronger facial muscles and a masculine facial structure.

Before a Botox treatment, patients should avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medicine like Aspirin and Advil. Arrive with cleansed skin to your appointment. Next, the provider will administer a series of injections with a thin needle. Patients find the 10 minute procedure tolerable and can return to work or daily activities immediately after.  

AFTER EFFECTS

Botox activation starts at 48hrs with a peak effect at 2 weeks. Re treatment will be necessary in 4 months.

Men want their results to look masculine and blend with their existing features. For best Botox results, look for a provider with considerable knowledge of facial anatomy and experience in male aesthetic procedures. Corina has extensive knowledge in treating the male face.
