Many women spend their lives driven by vanity. They are open about their desire to hold on to beauty and youth. While men tend to be less forthcoming about their feelings of insecurity that often come with aging, many are taking bold steps to fight the process.

Like women, men have an ever-increasing interest in cosmetic surgery. Today, the trend is to fight the aging process and work hard to stay young and fit. Non-surgical Botox has become the go-to procedure because it is fast, highly effective and requires no downtime. Male patients in Scottsdale see a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, along with a firmer, more youthful complexion.

Do men age differently than women do?

Men are not exempt from developing fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. Therefore, it is no surprise that it has become increasingly popular for the masculine sex to seek facial rejuvenation to improve their appearance and help boost self-esteem.

How are Botox injections made?

Botox injections are derived from a neurotoxin produced by the bacterium clostridium botulinum. This natural toxin is purified and used to release and atrophy overactive muscles. The result is smoother, wrinkle-free skin.

How does Botox improve the appearance of male wrinkles?

The FDA-approved Botox injection is administered in the glabella or muscle between the eyebrows. It is also commonly used to relax the muscle to smooth wrinkles around the nose, forehead, and eyes. Wrinkles occur in these areas as a result of a lifetime of facial expressions. Repetitive motions like smiling, frowning, squinting or laughing eventually take a toll on every man’s face.

Who are the best candidates for male Botox in Scottsdale?

Any man who is unhappy with the appearance of facial wrinkles may consider Botox. Male patients in Scottsdale seek Botox injections to help them achieve their best look for aesthetic purposes or for a special occasion. Dr. Pamela Henderson of New Image Plastic Surgery will discuss your treatment options during your initial consultation. For optimal results, sometimes Botox is combined with other skin rejuvenation procedures or facial fillers.

What should I expect during the Botox procedure?

The non-surgical procedure is very simple and requires only a few minutes of your time. Botox treatments can be injected during a lunch break. Ice packs and topical anesthesia are available as needed to alleviate discomfort at the injection site, but this is rarely necessary.

Small amounts of the neurotoxin are injected with a thin needle into the desired areas. The necessary number of injections is determined by the depth of wrinkling and the area receiving treatment. Typically, results last for about four months.

No down time is needed following Botox treatment in Scottsdale. Patients return to work or other daily activity after receiving their injections. Improvement generally becomes visible within two to three days with continued progress during the first 30 days.
