When you think of BOTOX and dermal fillers, women often come to mind. However, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons reports that men are one of the fastest-growing groups of people turning to cosmetic procedures. Nonsurgical procedures received by men have increased by 29% over the last 20 years. The American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery found that 31% of men would seriously consider an elective aesthetic procedure, like BOTOX or dermal fillers. Here’s why more men than ever before are choosing facial injections.
Benefits of a Youthful Appearance
The natural aging process can change your appearance in many ways, which can affect your self-esteem. Not to mention, it can also affect your professional image. A young appearance can give you a competitive edge while also boosting your confidence. You can look and feel your best by turning back the clock with BOTOX or dermal fillers.
Benefits of BOTOX
According to a recent study by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, more than 160,000 men received BOTOX injections. BOTOX is derived from a purified strain of the Botulinum toxin, which is a neurotoxin. Although it is toxic, purified strains have minimal risk of adverse reactions. It causes temporary muscle paralysis to stop lines caused by facial movements, like crow’s feet or frown lines. Results can last with regular maintenance injections.
Benefits of Dermal Fillers
Nearly 100,000 men receive dermal filler injections every year. Fillers differ from BOTOX because they contain Hyaluronic acid to plump the face, smoothing out lines and creases. Fillers are recommended to add volume to areas. Your body will naturally absorb the filler over the course of several months. Regular injections can help you maintain facial volume for a smooth facial appearance.
Whether you’re in your 30s, 40s, 50s, or even your 60s, you may be a candidate for BOTOX or dermal fillers. You can restore a young, vibrant appearance without needing surgery. Your cosmetic dentist can turn back time while also helping you achieve a healthy, beautiful smile.
