The popularity of Botox for men is growing all the time. Used to treat what are called dynamic wrinkles, the kind that arise from the movement of your muscles, Botox can greatly enhance appearance. These kinds of wrinkles come from the movement of muscles used in smiling, laughing, frowning, and raising eyebrows, the kind of facial movements we make all the time and which can cause permanent lines.
Pros for Botox Treatment for Men
Men and women alike typically want to age without appearing older than they are. Botox can help.
- Botox can minimize aging signs, and when it’s injected regularly, it can even prevent the formation of new lines and wrinkles.
- Botox results are temporary, so if for any reason you’re not thrilled with your appearance, the effects wear off in under three months.
- When injected by a skilled professional, such as your dental team, the risk of any adverse reactions is very low.
Cons for Botox Treatment of Men
Of course there are few drawbacks to Botox treatment, but they’re quite minimal.
- Botox treatment isn’t permanent, so follow-up injections are needed every three to four months so that your results are maintained.
- Because Botox temporarily decreases muscle movement, you need to be sure it’s injected by a medical professional skilled in administering Botox injections safely and precisely.
- There is a rare chance of side effects, such as drooping eyes or a crooked smile.
