How Can Botox® Be Used by Men for Wrinkles?
Since 2002, Botox has been one of the most popular treatments for reducing the appearance of facial wrinkles and fine lines, helping to rejuvenate skin that has become wrinkled over time due to repeated muscular contractions such as frowning and squinting.
No longer a treatment reserved for women only, Botox injections for men have skyrocketed by 258% over the past decade in the US. As a simple and quick procedure, Botox has redefined what it means to go for a “power lunch”: men can now control the way they look and remove unwanted wrinkles and creases all within a 30-minute appointment that has zero downtime.
At Midtown Med Spa, we commonly help our male patients combat the following types of wrinkles with Botox:
- The frown furrow
- Crow’s feet
- Forehead creases
How Does Botox® Work for Men’s Wrinkles?
For men, the most popular wrinkles targeted are their frown lines and forehead lines–getting rid of these lines make them look less angry and more rested. When Botox® is injected into these areas, it prevents signals from the nerves from reaching the muscles around the injected area. Effectively paralyzing these areas from unnecessary movement, the injection works to help visibly smoothen the face, giving you natural looking results and a reinvigorated appearance.
