“Brotox:” Men’s Botox Growing in Popularity
There was a time when Botox was almost exclusively a women’s aesthetic treatment. But now men account for close to 10% of Botox patients. In 2018 alone almost half a million men received Botox injections (or another comparable brand of botulinum type A) which represents a 381% increase over 2000. And those numbers continue to grow!
In this article the Botox experts at Better U Medical Spa discuss some of the reasons male patients are flocking to our Englewood & Jersey City locations for Men’s Botox injections.
Male Celebrities Love “Brotox”
Men’s Botox – sometimes called “Brotox” – has increased in popularity for a variety of reasons. This may be in part due to the fact that in recent years male celebrities have become more open about undergoing cosmetic procedures to achieve a more youthful and attractive appearance.
For example, everyone’s favorite American idol judge Simon Cowell has admitted in many interviews that he relies on Botox for maintaining his youthful good looks! Many experts also speculate that Tom Cruise also owes his ever-young appearance, at least in part, to Botox injections.
Men’s Botox for Work Place Advantage
A recent article that appeared on the Huffington Post website interviewed five prominent physicians in New York and Los Angeles to learn about the reasons that men love Botox.
Those surgeons indicated that the men visiting their medical spas for Botox were most often business professionals between the ages of 35 and 65 who wanted to look younger to remain competitive in the workplace.
Maturity used to be considered an asset in the workplace for the wisdom associated with age. But today, in many arenas, younger employees are often preferred by employers looking for “tech savvy” workers who are deemed to be more “in touch” with the youth market.
As a result, many men (and women) are turning to Botox to take a decade or more off of their face – so they can remain competitive in a youth-oriented job market.
The prevalence of Zoom meetings at work has also nudged many men toward improving their appearance by getting men’s Botox injections. Seeing one’s face “up close and personal” on the camera in Zoom meetings can make a guy very aware of every wrinkle and line that he previously ignored. Men’s Botox injections can smooth out “frown lines” and crow’s feet, making a man look friendlier and more youthful in any webcam meeting.
A recent article by The Smithsonian also reported that Botox can be good for your wallet, as well. That report found that “handsome” men make on average 13 percent more during their career than a so-called “looks-challenged” person in the same position. The article went on to note that even “hot” quarterbacks earn 12 percent more than quarterback who were considered “homely”.
Men’s Botox for Dating
Social media and online dating are also major motivators for men’s desire to get Botox. People’s first impression is very important – and today we typically meet someone “digitally” before we do in person.
So, looking attractive and youthful in “profile pics” on LinkedIn, Facebook, Match.com can be very important. Botox can help a man look and feel confident in selfies and social media pics.
With almost 40% of marriages ending in divorce, many men find themselves re-entering the dating arena a second time in middle age or later in life. A quick Botox appointment at Better U Medical Spa in Englewood or Jersey City can help a man look and feel youthful and virile as he begins to date again.
Advantages of Botox for Men
In addition to taking up to 10 years off of a man’s appearance, one of the greatest things about Botox is that there is no downtime, and no visible signs of having had a procedure done. Many of the men who get Botox injections at our Englewood or Jersey City MedSpa come in on their lunch hour – and return to work with no one knowing what they have done.
Botox does not change your appearance – it just makes you look younger, friendly and more refreshed. So, friends and coworkers may say “you like great!” but won’t think that you have “had work done.”
