Botox for Men explained

Botox for men uses the same products as for women, but the plan is different. Men usually have stronger, larger facial muscles and prefer a straighter, flatter brow. The goal is to look rested, not frozen.


How Botox for Men works

Toxin is injected into the muscles that cause expression lines or bulk, such as the frown muscles, forehead, around the eyes or the masseter. Men often need higher doses to get the same effect because of stronger muscles. Doctors avoid placing toxin in a way that arches the brows, which can look feminine on some men.


Who Botox for Men is for

  • Frown lines that make you look angry or tired
  • Deep forehead lines
  • Crow's feet when smiling
  • A square or wide jaw from strong masseter muscles
