While women have traditionally faced more societal pressure than men to \u201clook younger\u201d, an interesting paradigm shift is occurring. Men today are finally admitting they are no more comfortable than women with wrinkles and aging. This has led to more men getting BOTOX\u00ae Cosmetic<\/a> treatments to rejuvenate and refresh their natural appearance.<\/p>\n

As of 2017, one in every eight men is getting cosmetic procedures. According to the Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery<\/a>, the number of men getting BOTOX\u00ae has increased by nearly 65% since 2010. In 2015, there were 430,000 BOTOX\u00ae procedures on men. <\/p>\n

Although this only accounts for roughly 6 percent of all BOTOX\u00ae injections, these rising numbers don\u2019t lie. Men today are feeling pressured to maintain a younger appearance and they\u2019re now more apt to do something about it. This has more men today interested in BOTOX\u00ae Cosmetic treatments<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The truth is, a man\u2019s face ages just as a woman\u2019s does. As we get older, our faces lose subcutaneous fat. Facial muscles shift closer to the skin\u2019s surface. The repetitive contraction of muscles in the face – for instance, when we laugh, smile, frown, or raise an eyebrow – creates wrinkles, folds, and creases in the skin. These become particularly noticeable around the mouth and eyes, on the forehead, and between the eyebrows. <\/p>\n

The combination of this constant folding of the skin with sun and free radical damage can leave a person looking stressed, tired, and older.<\/p>\n

Dr. Paul Leong and his nurse injectors at Sistine Facial Plastic Surgery specialize in BOTOX\u00ae for men in Pittsburgh PA<\/a><\/em>. <\/p>\n

This procedure smooths away fine lines and wrinkles for a more rested and youthful appearance. Roughly 14 percent of our patients are men. When Dr. Leong opened his practice, this number was around 5 percent. We have quickly become a top provider of men\u2019s BOTOX\u00ae in Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n

What Is Brotox?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Male BOTOX\u00ae<\/a> is often marketed as \u201cBrotox.\u201d BOTOX\u00ae for men ads can be seen on NFL Sunday. One BOTOX\u00ae ad targeting males featured retired NFL legend “Prime Time” Deion Sanders<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Our Brotox in Pittsburgh<\/em> is really no different than the BOTOX\u00ae injections we perform on women. BOTOX\u00ae can be combined with Ultherapy\u00ae<\/a> and other facial fillers like Restylane\u00ae<\/a>, JUV\u00c9DERM\u00ae<\/a>, Perlane\u00ae, Radiesse\u00ae<\/a>, or Sculptra\u00ae Aesthetic<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Combining treatments like this can help produce a longer-lasting and more noticeable reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.<\/p>\n

Brotox addresses facial features specific to men. Let’s take a look at each injection site and the most effective injectables for that specific part of a man’s face.<\/p>\n

These non-surgical cosmetic treatments take about 15-to-20-minutes. Many of our Pittsburgh Brotox patients see us during their lunch break. There is little discomfort and no downtime. The final result is typically seen within 10 to 14 days from treatment and can generally last anywhere from 3 to 5 months.<\/p>\n

Why Are Men Getting BOTOX\u00ae?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s taken a long time to erode the stigma that vanity isn\u2019t \u201cmanly.\u201d Historically speaking, men were taught that wrinkles – not unlike bruises or scars – were badges of honor acquired through time. An aging man\u2019s \u201crugged good looks\u201d were the visible toll of hard work, a life well-or-hard-lived, sacrifice, and perseverance – all seen in his wise and mature face.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s man is subscribing less and less to that mindset. Here\u2019s why:<\/p>\n
