Facial wrinkles and lines are not sex discriminatory, and with more and more males opting for this age defying non-surgical treatment solution, “brotox” demand is higher than ever.  This trend continues to gather pace and image conscious men want what women have enjoyed for years. Botox works by relaxing wrinkles and lines, giving you a more rested and attractive appearance, shedding years off your life.

Men are becoming more proactive in caring for their skin and appearance with increased pressures to maintain a more youthful and attractive appearance in competitive job markets.  “Brotox” demand is anticipated to sky-rocket with more and more men desiring to look and feel better than ever before.

Anatomy and muscle density of the male’s face are vary from that of a female’s face, thus injection technique, patterns and dosing for males are very different.  Generally males require higher doses of Botox for line softening as they have much more dense or thicker muscle fibers.  Common areas for Botox treatment in men are the frown lines and the crow’s feet, leaving them with a rested and rejuvenated look.  Personalized treatment is imperative to ensuring desired treatment goals are achieved.
