What is Botox?
Botox injections were originally used to combat muscle spasms in or near the eyes, like eyelid twitching. When doctors observed its anti-wrinkle side effects, researchers stood up and took notice. It wasn’t long before the product was developed for aesthetic use.
Since being approved for aesthetic use by the FDA in 2002, Botox has remained the most popular anti-aging injectable on the market. It works by relaxing the muscles that create lines on the surface of your skin when you smile, frown, and make other facial expressions.
The injections soften the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, leaving you looking years younger. The best part? Botox can even help prevent deeper lines from forming!
Why are more men turning to Botox?
The number of men turning to Botox continues to grow. In fact, in 2018 about 500,000 men opted for this nonsurgical anti-aging solution. Here some of the top reasons more and more men are turning to Botox:
1. It’s a quick procedure with fast results that last for months.
Botox treatments take about 15-20 minutes, but the results last for months. Botox results appear gradually, starting one to two days after your treatment, with full results within a week. This makes Botox a fast and effective way to say goodbye to fine lines and wrinkles.
2. You can get back to your work and play activities right away.
Since Botox is minimally invasive and has few side effects, you don’t have to worry about recovery time. You can get your injections and return to your busy work and play schedule right away!
3. Botox is a safe and worry-free treatment.
Years of studies support the safety of Botox. In fact, it’s approved for use in dozens of countries around the globe. With Botox, you don’t have to worry about safety as long as you receive treatment from highly trained professionals, like the team at Sublime Aesthetic Professionals.
4. Botox offers natural, refined results.
No other treatment gives you the natural, refined results Botox can. With Botox, you don’t look like you’ve “had work done.” Instead, you’ll naturally look younger and refreshed, like you’ve had a good week of rest.
Though women opt for a totally smooth look, most men ask for smaller doses of Botox. This allows you to retain a few distinguished, refined lines, but lose the creases and wrinkles.
It’s important to note that the effectiveness of Botox is technique sensitive. This means it’s important to receive Botox from experienced aesthetic professionals.
Am I a candidate for Botox?
Before you begin Botox, your care provider at Sublime Aesthetic Professionals examines your skin and evaluates your medical history. Botox is approved for most people, however, people with certain medical conditions, such as some neurological disorders, shouldn’t use Botox.
Based on your goals and the condition of your skin, we determine the right placement for each injection and the amount of Botox needed to give you the results you’re seeking.
