Botox for Men: It’s a Thing
It has recently come to light that Botox treatments can be used for a variety reasons other than simply improving your appearance. Studies have proven Botox to be an effective drug that is helpful with management of migraines, depression and arthritis. Incredible! Not only are the uses of Botox changing, so is the clientele. Recent studies have shown that more and more men are turning to this cosmetic procedure, incorporating it as part of their modern lifestyle. It’s wonderful to see men taking more care with their appearances but why are men embracing Botox? Let’s have a look at some of my theories.
We’re Not Getting Any Younger
With the age for retirement increasing, men are realizing that they need to put more effort into their appearance at work. Competition is fierce as younger people enter the workforce and it’s just as important to have confidence as well as competence. Savvy, ambitious men are joining women in turning to easy, non-invasive cosmetic procedures like Botox to enhance their image in order to counter the age bias that is evident in the high-pressure workplace. This is resulting in a paradigm shift for Botox. There is less and less of a stigma associated with its use and it’s no longer just a product for the ladies. We’re even calling it ‘Brotox’ now…!
Brotox may sound like a clever play on words, but the reality is that a lot of men want to look younger and feel more attractive. Can you blame them? In this day and age there’s a lot of pressure to look good. Not only that, but we need to look good naturally. Botox is an excellent, cost-effective treatment to improve your appearance with a natural result. This is how it works: Botox treatments relax tense facial muscles, minimizing the fine lines and wrinkles that appear at the eyes and forehead. The result is that you look less tired, relaxed and calm.
Consider what the lines on your face indicate to others. Botox can easily taking off ten years from your face! The frown lines in particular can make a person look confused, irritated or just plain angry. Men with deep furrows and pronounced frown lines may look intimidating and unapproachable. While these lines may have formed because of your intense concentration on matters at hand in your home and professional lives, they are not sending the right message. With Botox, these lines will be reduced. It can be a great mood changer because you’ll look happier which will result in feeling happier too. What other non-surgical cosmetic treatment can claim the same transformation?
Beautiful Blokes
Just looking at your local pharmacy or cosmetics store you’ll see that it’s not just ‘Brotox’ that men are embracing. The range of men’s cosmetics has grown exponentially in the last few years because they have lost the stigma associated with femininity. Before, Old Spice and Brut dominated men’s skin care. Now men’s health products line the shelves because there is a growing market for them. Every major brand is getting on board with men’s skin care products because looking good is equally as important for men as it is for women.
Taking care of your appearance is an integral part of a healthy lifestyle. The equation is simple: When we look good, we tend to feel better about ourselves. When we feel better, we have more confidence and people are drawn to that. Women have known about the perks of Botox for years and men are quickly catching on. Welcome aboard boys!
Not Just for Your Average Joe
Botox has been a celebrity staple since it entered the market more than 25 years ago. But did you know that more and more male celebrities are embracing its use? Powerful men like David Beckham, Simon Cowell, and Robert Redford have all used Botox in the past and are unashamed to admit to it. For instance, Simon Cowell once told Glamour magazine "To me, Botox is no more unusual than toothpaste. It works, you do it once a year, who cares?" His nonchalance about using Botox is an indication of the shifting perception of it. This is a good thing…
As time goes on, the stigma attached to Botox grows weaker, making its use a part of both men’s and women’s health routines. Even celebrities like Sylvester Stallone, Ray Liotta and Robert Redford are using Botox to increase their confidence resulting in better movie roles. There is a direct link between men who use Botox and their success in their industries so it’s easy to see why this procedure is gaining in popularity. Botox is the only non-invasive cosmetic surgery that can guarantee improved appearance results instantly. Looking good isn’t just for the rich and famous anymore!
There is, of course, a bad side to the celebrity endorsement of Botox. Unfortunately, Botox has developed a bad reputation in popular media due to its overuse in the case of certain celebrities like Nicole Kidman. But it’s important to know that a properly done Botox injection will not result in a frozen face. A good Botox injection simply makes it look like you are well rested and relaxed. Your muscles that have tensed up over the years of built up stress and pressure are simply incapacitated. The result it completely natural and no one will suspect a thing! People will simply be commenting on how refreshed you look after a Botox treatment. After a treatment, you look exactly like yourself, just a little younger!
Botox and Business
The main reasons why men are getting Botox treatments tend to relate directly to work life. As men grow more concerned about how their appearance influences their many relationships, men are turning to Botox as a confidence booster. Not only is it imperative to impress the boss and workmates, but men also have to consider how they are perceived by their clients and customers. Due to the competitive job market, men are stepping up to the pressures of having to maintain a youthful appearance. Multiple studies have shown that younger looking men are able to generate considerably more money compared to their older looking peers. High-intensity industries like finance tend to link more attractive men to a higher income.
But this beauty is only skin deep. It’s the confidence that attractive men exude that can result in monetary benefits. The wrinkles that appear on our foreheads, between the brows and around the eyes make us look tired; this translates to being perceived that we won’t have the energy it takes to do the job right. It may sound superficial, but unfortunately, it’s a fact of life.
Botox is an easy and cost-effective answer to these problems that you may be experiencing in your work life. Perhaps you feel like you look tired? Take a good look in the mirror and really scrutinise your face. How do you feel about your appearance? Do you think Botox might be the answer for you? You can easily call up for a consultation if you’re unsure and we can advise you on the best way to proceed. The best thing is that a Botox procedure only takes thirty minutes and it lasts four months! Not only that, we are extremely flexible with times, so if time is tight, you can book an appointment over your lunch break!
Hey Ladies!
Divorced or recently separated men are enjoying the perks of Botox as well. The increase in confidence allows them to approach women with more ease, getting them back on the market and making them comfortable about dating again. For single dads, Botox can make the courting process easier. They have higher self-esteem and women love a man who is self-assured and attractive.
Perhaps a better way of understanding why men are turning to Botox would be to look at why women have embraced it. Women tend to set higher aging standards than men. Women use it to look better in order to feel better and there’s nothing wrong with that. It turns out that men are using it for exactly the same reasons. Gone are the days of machismo in popular culture. Men are more in tuned with their feminine sides and they are taking the time to take care of themselves. It’s an extremely proactive approach that gives you an advantage in both the workplace and your personal life.
Let’s Wrap This Up
Clearly, over the years the pressure to achieve is increasing for men. The modern day job market demands more than just competence. In order to succeed in the workforce and in your personal life, changes need to be made. It’s extremely exciting that more men understand the importance of their physical appearance in relation to their personal success. But, there’s more. Perhaps Botox is a great tool in landing and keeping your dream job. But more importantly, it’s a confidence tool to make you look and thus feel better about yourself. You can’t put a price on that.
