More Men Are Using Botox To Look Younger – Calling it “Brotox”

Men aren’t alone in trying to find a way to improve their youthful appearance. More and more men are turning to cosmetic procedures including Botox for men, to find a way to rejuvenate. The trend is that less men feel ashamed to admit a desire to improve their own looks especially as they get older.

Perception of Botox Changing

Advertisements and marketing analysis have started to dive deeply into the market of Men

and Botox. The goal is for “real men” to feel and understand that Botox can be for them as well. The feeling of being ashamed for cosmetic procedures is something of the past.

Avoiding a surgical procedure may be the first desire of many men. That is where an injectable or Botox comes into play.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, over 400,000 men received Botox injections in 2014, marking a 337 percent increase since 2000. In addition, over 90,000 men received fillers, an 86 percent increase since 2000.

Why Men Are Considering Botox

The goal for men isn’t to look younger, but they want to look better, feel more rejuvenated, they want a healthier life, to feel rested and fit.

Dr. Michael Bedecs says, “The benefits of Botox go beyond the surface and can help with things like blood pressure, depression and weight loss. This is about improving your confidence in yourself, when that happens a lot of really cool things happen, in terms of your own medical health.”

Dr. Daniel Rousse, a plastic surgeon recently said, “They [Men] realize that they also want to look and feel their best. Many men do it for reasons involving their work. They’re executives or they’re just out in the public and just want to look their best. They’re also becoming more and more interested in either surgery or the noninvasive procedures that we do.”
