Botox for Men ("Brotox"): A Straightforward Guide

More men are getting tox than ever — they're just not always talking about it. If you've caught yourself wondering whether a few lines between your brows are making you look tired or stern, here's a straightforward guide to what's often called "Brotox."

"Will I look frozen?"

This is the number-one question, and the answer is no — not when it's done well. The goal for most men isn't a smooth, expressionless forehead; it's softening the deepest lines while keeping your face fully yours. Good tox for men is about looking less tired and less severe, not "worked on."

Common areas for men

The usual spots are the horizontal forehead lines, the vertical lines between the brows, and crow's feet at the eyes. Because men's facial muscles tend to be stronger, the right amount of product is often a little different than for women — that's something your provider tailors to you, not a fixed number.

More common (and more discreet) than you think

Plenty of men come in before a big event, a new role, or simply because they're tired of looking tired. It's quick, there's essentially no downtime, and done naturally, no one will know unless you tell them. Subtle is exactly our specialty.

It's not only about wrinkles

Neurotoxin treatments can also help with a couple of things men ask about — like easing an overactive jaw from clenching, or excessive underarm sweating. Both are worth raising at a consultation if they're on your mind.
