Botox for Men in Beverly Hills, CA

Botox is one of the world’s most-popular non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatments. It is commonly used as an injectable treatment for women. However, it is important to note that Botox can also be a beneficial treatment for men as well.

Dr. Babak Azizzadeh is world-renowned for his facial plastic and reconstructive surgery expertise. He has performed many male Botox treatments over the years and is happy to provide treatment insights to help men enjoy the benefits of Botox.

What Is Male Botox?

Botox is a toxin made by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. Male Botox injections can be used to treat wrinkles and other visible signs of aging in the face.

How Does Botox Work?

Botox is a minimally invasive facial rejuvenation procedure. It involves the use of an injectable prescription that relaxes the muscles in the face.

Excessive facial muscle contractions sometimes cause fine lines and furrows to form. With Botox, men can correct these signs of aging any time they choose.

Do Botox Injections Work the Same Way on Men and Women?

Botox procedures are nearly identical for men and men. During treatment, Botox is injected into different areas of a patient’s face to restore volume.

In a Botox procedures, large doses of Botox may be required to deliver the best-possible results. This is due to the fact that men can have larger, stronger muscles than women.

Can Botox Stop Facial Wrinkles?

Men and women can use preventative Botox treatments to combat facial lines and wrinkles in their early stages. Preventative male Botox injections are generally completed in a patient’s 20s or 30s. They require patients to undergo Botox treatments at regular intervals.

Benefits of Botox for Men

The benefits of Botox include:

  • Fast Treatment: Whereas a facial rejuvenation surgery often requires several hours to complete, a Botox treatment can be completed in minutes.
  • Cost: Botox is usually more affordable than a facial rejuvenation surgery.
  • Quick Results: The results of a Botox procedure can become visible within a few days of treatment.
  • No Downtime: Botox patients won’t have to worry about downtime; in fact, most patients can resume their regular activities immediately following Botox injections.

Clearly, there is a lot to like about Botox, but the facial rejuvenation treatment is not right for all men, at all times. As such, it is crucial to meet with Dr. Azizzadeh for a full analysis before undergoing a Botox procedure.

Why Do Men Pursue Botox?

Botox is used to treat issues that can hamper their facial appearance, such as:

  • Crow’s feet
  • Frown lines
  • Banding in the neck
  • Furrows in the forehead
  • Forehead lines

Along with the aforementioned cosmetic issues, there are other reasons why men get Botox. These reasons include:

1. Career Advancement

The global job market is fierce. As such, older men may look for any advantage they can get over their younger counterparts. This may lead some men to pursue Botox injections in the hopes that they appear more youthful than ever before. It also can help these men to feel more confident about their facial appearance. Thus, these men can feel their best at work, which can help them accelerate their career growth.

2. Social Media

Many men want to look good on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and other social media platforms. Thanks to Botox, men can revitalize their facial appearance. From here, they can share selfies and other images of themselves via social media. This helps men look their best on social media and generate lots of likes and comments from family members, friends, and others from around the world.

3. Excessive Sweating

Can Botox Be Performed with Facial Plastic Surgery?

Dr. Azizzadeh may recommend Botox for men. However, there can be times when men can benefit from receiving Botox at the same time as other facial plastic surgery procedures.

Together, Botox and a facial plastic procedure may help a man ensure all of his facial features complement one another. If Dr. Azizzadeh believes a man can benefit from Botox and another procedure, he can perform multiple cosmetic treatments at once.

Dr. Azizzadeh can perform a male Botox procedure in conjunction with several male facial cosmetic treatments. These include:

1. Blepharoplasty

blepharoplasty, also called an eyelid lift, lets men remove excess skin from the upper eyelids or under-eye bags. The procedure helps men revitalize the appearance of the eyes. As a result, a blepharoplasty with Botox allows men to make the eyes appear more youthful and vibrant than ever before. The procedure can help men correct excess skin that hampers their vision, too.

2. Chin Augmentation

chin augmentation represents a great treatment for men dealing with a weak chin. The procedure involves the use of an implant that increases the size and length of the jawline. This implant can help men ensure the chin looks proportional to the eyes, cheeks, and other facial features.

3. Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty surgery enables men to resize or reshape the nose. The procedure can be completed if a man is dealing with cosmetic or functional nasal issues. For instance, if a man has a bulbous nose tip or nasal bridge that is too high or too low, he may be a viable candidate for a rhinoplasty. Comparatively, if a man has experienced nose trauma that hinders his ability to breathe through the nose, he may qualify for a rhinoplasty.

4. Facelift

facelift helps men eliminate wrinkles, sagging skin, and other visible signs of aging in the face and neck. The procedure is tailored to a man’s facial appearance. It ensures a patient can achieve a symmetrical and natural-looking facial appearance with Botox.

5. Neck Lift

With neck lift surgery, a man can treat wrinkles and other signs of aging in the jawline and neck. The procedure involves trimming and smoothing excess skin on the neck. It helps men enhance neck skin firmness and laxity.

Dr. Azizzadeh may recommend one or more of the following cosmetic procedures for men be performed in combination with Botox. In these instances, Dr. Azizzadeh crafts a comprehensive treatment plan for his patients.
