Men & Botox: Why the Growing Popularity Among Males?

When you hear the word “Botox,” there’s a good chance you envision a woman having a small needle injected into her face to get rid of fine lines and wrinkles. While this vision isn’t incorrect, nowadays, there are quite a few men who are starting to see the benefits of such treatment. Read on to learn why there has been an increase in male patients over the last decade and why it might be the right solution for you.

Why Are So Many Men Looking to Botox & Fillers?

In the age of TikTok and other social media platforms, people are going to great lengths to maintain their appearances. And while many seem to think it is only women who are using filters and pursuing cosmetic treatments, men are also taking part.

In 2018, it was believed that 20% of the clients plastic surgeons saw were men. The American Society for Plastic Surgeons compiled 2017 data that stated 10% of all cosmetic surgeries were men receiving Botox.

There are several reasons why skincare specialists and dentists throughout the country are seeing an uptick in male patients:

• They want to remain relevant in a competitive job market, especially when younger, recent college graduates possess a more youthful look, which is often appealing to employers.
• They are re-entering the dating scene and want to shave off a few years when meeting someone new.
• They’re looking to be proactive about their facial appearance, pursuing Botox to minimize the potential for wrinkles in the future.

The Benefits of Botox & Fillers

Men who choose to have Botox or dermal fillers injected are seeing tremendous benefits when it comes to their appearance. Because social media is where people spent most of their time, an appealing aesthetic is what seems to garner “likes,” “follows,” and “comments.” Apart from the attention men receive on social media outlets, Botox does have other unique benefits, some of which include:

• A non-surgical way to address fine lines and wrinkles
• A quick and easy procedure that doesn’t require downtime following an injection
• A convenient method of treatment that can be completed during a lunch break
• A natural enhancement of your appearance
• The ability to boost your confidence and feel prepared to embrace new opportunities and people
• An effective way to combat adult acne because of how Botox works to minimize oil production

If you or someone you know is considering Botox or dermal fillers to boost appearances, don’t hesitate to reach out to your dentist for further discussion. In no time at all, you can give your confidence a boost that can benefit you personally and professionally.
