Often when people hear about Botox, they assume that it is a feminine procedure used to reverse the effects of aging on women’s’ faces. However, it is a commonly held misconception that only women need Botox or that you are less of a man for needing Botox. Many men have Botox procedures to restore the edge to their features. It can help remove frown lines or crow’s feet that may make you look older than you are. If you suffer from frown lines or lines that make you feel less masculine, Dr. Pamela Henderson offers Botox injections for men of all ages in Scottsdale and surrounding areas.
What can Botox do for men?
Botox injections help the muscles in the face relax so that wrinkles and fine lines begin to disappear. Overly tense muscles can create wrinkles and once the muscles relax, the wrinkled skin above the muscles will smooth out within three days to up to 2 weeks after applying the injection. Each series of injections lasts several months. Depending on your case, Dr. Henderson may recommend further injections to maintain your youthful appearance. Once you begin to see the return of wrinkles and fine lines, you can call Dr. Henderson who will examine your face and see if you need repeat treatment.
What is having Botox like?
Having a Botox treatment is very simple and quick. Each treatment takes only ten minutes and can be performed within the privacy of Dr. Henderson’s office. On the day of the procedure, if requested, Dr. Henderson can apply a numbing cream around the areas to be treated although this is generally not needed. She will apply the injections where your fine lines and wrinkles are most prominent. Each injection is performed at a shallow depth with minimal discomfort while performed. After a treatment, Dr. Henderson recommends that you refrain from rubbing the areas, avoid exposure to intense heat such as a sauna or do not exercise for the first twenty-four hours. This may cause the ingredients of the injection to not work as intended. Afterwards, you can continue with your daily life.
