Many people know that their dentist offers various cosmetic services that can enhance the aesthetics of their smile, but would you be surprised to learn that they might also help you restore a younger-looking visage? Many providers offer Botox injections<\/a> to help reduce the impact of facial wrinkles, which can boost your confidence in your appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, more men have been electing to undergo this popular cosmetic procedure than in years past. Continue reading to learn more about why it has continued to gain popularity among this demographic!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What is Botox?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Botox is the brand-name of a purified protein derived from a neurotoxin produced by the Clostridium botulinum <\/em>bacteria. It\u2019s administered in small, safe doses which, when injected into your muscles, prevents them from receiving signals to contract. This keeps them still and at ease, allowing the layer of skin sitting above them to become smoother and more relaxed, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the longevity of your results can depend significantly on your unique circumstances, habits, and lifestyle, most people can expect to enjoy the benefits of this service for anywhere from 3 to 12 months. Eventually, your body metabolizes the protein that makes this treatment effective so it must be repeated periodically to maintain the results long-term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Are More Men Getting Botox?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Would you be surprised to learn that sources estimate that there has been a 20% increase in the number of males getting plastic surgery since 2010? Specifically, the number of men getting Botox has jumped 27% since then, leading media outlets to sometimes refer to the trend as \u201cBrotox\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the exact reason for these increased numbers isn\u2019t entirely known, it\u2019s believed that social media plays an essential role. More men are posting images online and feel pressure to look their best, and Botox injections can be a simple, effective, and affordable way to boost their confidence in their appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are Botox Treatments Different for Men?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Everyone\u2019s bodily chemistry is unique and may respond differently to these injections, but generally, male bodies have a faster metabolism that breaks down the neurotoxin more quickly. They may also be more likely to have jobs involving physical labor that accelerates this process through increased muscle activity and blood flow. As a result, men might require touch-ups more frequently to maintain the outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re considering getting Botox but are unsure whether you\u2019re a good candidate, you can learn more about this popular cosmetic service by scheduling a consultation with your dentist!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
