BOTOX for Men
BOTOX for Men in Austin, Texas is a growing trend. Traditionally, temporary or semi-permanent cosmetic procedures have been considered a trend among women. But these days, men have become more confident about taking pride in their appearance and doing whatever it takes to reduce the signs of aging or other physical “flaws” that they’d like to see addressed.
Often, it is men who rely on looking “put together” in their careers who choose to go in the direction of procedures like BOTOX, as this treatment fits easily into their busy lifestyle without the need for recovery time.
More minimally invasive, cosmetic surgery options have several flaws, explaining why the popularity of injecting BOTOX (and other similar procedures) for men has increased by over 250% in the last ten years.
- Getting BOTOX is quick and easy – to receive BOTOX, you simply need to pop into your plastic surgeon’s office, and then get right back to work. Since many men are choosing to improve their look to remain competitive in a challenging job market, it stands to reason that BOTOX is a wise investment in their career, as it does not require time off from work.
- There is no recovery with BOTOX – there is no scarring, and there is no need to massively limit activities, or do anything but live your ordinary life.
- Results last but aren’t permanent – as your aesthetic preferences change, you can approach the use of BOTOX in a way that addresses these needs. With plastic surgery, the results are often permanent, and further enhancement requires going under the knife again.
- BOTOX offers subtle change – appearance is enhanced, but men can ensure the administration is approached in such a way that they simply appear more refreshed. Likewise, getting BOTOX can happen under the radar, meaning that professional colleagues and friends don’t need to be privy to your personal affairs, as you’ll never miss a beat in life.
- BOTOX can address other issues – BOTOX is most commonly used to combat the physical effects of facial aging, however, it can also be used to treat conditions like hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating). This is another male BOTOX procedure that can greatly improve the patient’s self-confidence.
Other uses for BOTOX
As mentioned above, BOTOX has other uses besides treating the visible effects of aging. When performed by an educated and trained professional, this injectable can help improve the following conditions.
- Excessive sweating
Many people experience a condition called Hyperhidrosis, which is the production of sweat beyond what is necessary for regulating body temperature, causing considerable discomfort and embarrassment. BOTOX can block the signals from nerves that stimulate sweat glands, thereby reducing excessive sweating.
After thoroughly cleansing the treatment area and applying a topical anesthetic to ensure your comfort during the procedure, your provider will skillfully administer the injections with precision to target the areas affected by excessive sweating. The injections are quick and efficient. Almost immediately after the procedure, you’ll start to notice significant improvements in your issues with sweating.
- Migraines
No one likes having headaches, but migraines are a beast of their own, potentially becoming debilitating in their own right. Over the last several years, BOTOX has helped patients suffering from chronic migraines. Chronic migraines are classified as “15 or more headaches days each month, eight or more migraines during those headache days, or headaches that last for four or more hours each”. By making injections into the “trigger areas” (i.e. your forehead, temples, and back of your head and neck), our trained providers can help reduce these painful headaches for weeks at a time.
Please keep in mind that these treatments do not have a 100% success rate, but many of the patients that we have treated have been able to certainly see some significant changes.
