Though many would be reluctant to admit it, men are increasingly turning to Botox injections to decrease the signs of aging. Botox®, otherwise known as Botulinum Toxin-A, is a clinical cosmetic, non-invasive treatment with a variety of benefits. And since Botox is a purified protein, it’s proven effective at working to relax and temporarily paralyze overactive muscles, which makes it a popular treatment option for diminishing facial frown lines and crow’s feet.  However, let’s discuss 3 big reasons why there is an influx of men turning to this form of cosmetic treatment.

#1        Treatment of Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Botox injections are one of the most effective ways to prevent facial lines and wrinkles. According to cosmetic surgeons, men who want a youthful appearance without the discomfort, expense, and recovery time of facial plastic surgery, can rejuvenate their looks with Botox. The process can make wrinkles and lines around the eyes and mouth less noticeable, while also helping with deeper furrows between the eyebrows and on the forehead. Many men love their results and have begun seeking regular treatments.

#2        Prostate Enlargement

Mounting research proves that Botox injections can offer relief from the symptoms of an enlarged prostate, and the effects can last up to one year. Surgeons skillfully inject Botox into the prostate, reducing its size and increasing the flow of urine. Potential benefits include less-frequent urination and fewer urinary tract infections. Botox is a great option for men who have had adverse reactions to medicines intended to treat prostate enlargement. Many of these medications can cause a decrease in libido, ED (erectile dysfunction), and breast growth in men. Botox, however, rare side effects that typically disappear a day or two after the procedure.

#3        Treatment of Hyperhidrosis

Hyperhidrosis is the medical term for excessive sweating. For some people, the sweat glands underneath the arms, around the forehead and temples, and to the back of the neck, as well as along the back, can become overactive, causing a host of bothersome and embarrassing issues. Hyperactive sweat glands produce an immense amounts of body water; and unfortunately, patients appear wet and their clothes are consistently drenched with sweat. For men, this can especially pose career problems, as well as social and personal concerns. In severe cases, when clinical antiperspirants have proven ineffective, Botox injections can be an effective solution to bringing sweat glands to a halt for at least 6 months.

The Botox injection process is simple and quick, lasting about 10-15 minutes; and since it’s non-invasive, there’s no need for anesthesia. However, some cosmetic surgeons use ice for topical numbing before injections are delivered. Improvements can be seen in days, while effects can last 6 months or more.

Most men return for twice-yearly treatments. After several visits, the treated muscles will learn how to relax, which can have longer-term aesthetic advantages. Complementary treatments, such as skin resurfacing, dermal fillers, and peels are also commonly used along with Botox Houston to extend anti-aging results and maintain an overall youthful facial appearance.
