A Botox Guide for Men: What You Need to Know
It is no surprise that men juggle busy lifestyles at home and at work. Therefore, the undesired wrinkles and expression lines that form as a sign of aging can unintentionally cause more stress. That is where BOTOX® Cosmetic comes into play.
What is Botox & How Does It Work?
Botox is an injection treatment that diminishes and smoothes out undesired wrinkles and expression lines. At the moment of the injection, Botox therapy allows the muscles in the face to relax. This relaxation helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, giving the skin a smoother and more youthful look.
In What Areas Can I Inject Botox Therapy?
Botox works best to treat the expression lines on the face and neck. Common areas include the forehead, crow’s feet around the eyes, and frown lines between the eyebrows. However, Botox can also be injected into the sweat glands of your underarms and palms. Excessive underarm and palm sweating is known as Hyperhidrosis. At the moment of the injection, your sweat glands will begin to relax in the areas treated, reducing excessive sweating.
When Will I See Results?
It is important to remember that Botox therapy is temporary and therefore must be repeated on a consistent basis in order to maintain your desired image. After receiving Botox therapy, the results will gradually show, with the best results typically seen on the 14th day post-injection. The effects of Botox usually last between three to six months, after which the treatment can be repeated.
Keep in Mind
Botox can cause mild bruising in the area treated, therefore it is recommended to have your treatment 2-3 weeks before an important event to allow any bruising to disappear. Additionally, remember to not lay down for 2-3 hours after your treatment and try to avoid touching the treated areas. This will ensure the Botox stays in the area you desire.
Botox is a popular choice for men looking to maintain a youthful appearance while managing the signs of aging. With minimal downtime and noticeable results, it’s no wonder more men are turning to Botox to help them look and feel their best. You only live once… why not look young forever!
