\"\"<\/a>According to data compiled by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons<\/a> (ASPS), there were 7.23 million BOTOX\u00ae Cosmetic injections performed in 2017. This made BOTOX\u00ae the #1 minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that year.<\/p>\n

This doesn\u2019t surprise Pittsburgh cosmetic surgeon Dr. Paul Leong. \u201cAfter 17 years, people are beginning to realize how time-tested, safe, and effective BOTOX\u00ae is,\u201d he says, \u201cMost people know someone who has gotten it. If they like what they see, they become more open to the idea of getting treatments themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Leong feels 2018 data will reveal a continued rise in BOTOX\u00ae procedures that should carry over into 2019. \u201cI really don\u2019t think BOTOX\u00ae will ever be eclipsed by other injectable procedures – it\u2019s tremendously reliable and has helped so many people\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

One trend noticed at Dr. Leong\u2019s Sistine Facial Plastic Surgery practice is more men are undergoing the procedure. \u201cMale patients were once an anomaly but we\u2019re now regularly seeing men at each of our locations. Guys today are more worried than ever about aging and their appearance. It\u2019s become more acceptable for them to acknowledge it, and most importantly, DO SOMETHING about it. BOTOX\u00ae for men has surged these past few years because of this.\u201d<\/p>\n

But is BOTOX\u00ae on men done in the same way as BOTOX\u00ae for women? Are certain parts of the face more bothersome to men than women? Are there physiological and aesthetic differences between a man\u2019s face and a woman\u2019s? If so, is the injection technique the same?<\/p>\n

Key Differences Between Male BOTOX\u00ae vs. BOTOX\u00ae for Women<\/h2>\n

Men Need More BOTOX\u00ae Than Women<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Men will often require more units of BOTOX\u00ae<\/a> than women. Generally, a man has more muscle mass in his forehead and brows than a woman. This means more product is needed for the ideal amount of relaxation and desired look. Clinical observations have also concluded that a bigger, stronger man requires more units per treatment than a smaller more slender-built man.<\/p>\n

\n

A Man\u2019s Ideal Brow Shape is Different<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The key to great natural looking BOTOX\u00ae is brow shape. BOTOX\u00ae injections rebalance the forehead and periocular muscles. When BOTOX\u00ae is done correctly, this shape and position of the eyebrows is improved. The finished result looks great and natural. When BOTOX\u00ae is done poorly with bad technique, the shape and position of the eyebrows is off. The finished result is a less than ideal look.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a gentle arch to a woman\u2019s brows. It should be visible just a few centimeters above the brow bone. There shouldn\u2019t be much of an arch above a man\u2019s brow bone. For a man, a straighter lower brow is the ideal look. Achieving this ideal brow shape – regardless of sex – all comes down to how well the injector administers BOTOX\u00ae.<\/p>\n

\n

Men and Women Have Specific but Differing Trouble Spots<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Although men and women share the same facial parts, particular areas of the face bother men more than women. Men most commonly pursue BOTOX\u00ae to treat their crow\u2019s feet, which are wrinkles etched to the corner of each eye. These are sometimes called laugh lines or smile lines because it\u2019s when they\u2019re most noticeable. The glabella is the most common trouble spot for women. These are vertical wrinkles between the eyebrows. They are sometimes referred to as the \u201c11\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

BOTOX\u00ae on Men Requires a More Precise Technique<\/strong><\/h3>\n

According to Dr. Leong, \u201cMany unqualified or inexperienced BOTOX\u00ae injectors apply the same technique to every patient. You need to be knowledgeable of the anatomy of the forehead and brow muscles when doing BOTOX\u00ae on a man. You must understand how they work together. An artistic eye and steady hand is also needed because men require a very precise injection technique. If the injector isn\u2019t capable of putting the BOTOX\u00ae exactly where it needs to be, the result won\u2019t be good at all.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Men Often Have Higher Hairlines Than Women<\/strong><\/h3>\n

BOTOX\u00ae injections vary slightly based on the patient\u2019s hairline. A man with a shaved head will have a much higher hairline than a woman. A certain hairstyle might also necessitate extending the BOTOX\u00ae up onto the scalp for the most natural look.<\/p>\n

\n

The Importance of Choosing a Qualified Physician<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The most important takeaway, whether you\u2019re a man or women, is to always choose a highly experienced and qualified physician for your BOTOX\u00ae injections<\/a>. A doctor less familiar with the different nuances of the face won\u2019t administer your BOTOX\u00ae injections properly. The wrong technique could leave you with a blank, frozen, or overfilled look.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for BOTOX\u00ae for men in the Pittsburgh area, Dr. Leong has successfully treated hundreds of male patients with BOTOX\u00ae and Dysport. His practice, Sistine Facial Plastic Surgery, is rapidly becoming a destination for men\u2019s BOTOX\u00ae in the area. His expertise is highly sought after.
