Men age too…so what to do?

Close your eyes. In your mind, think of someone receiving a BOTOX® treatment. Open your eyes (well done reading with your eyes closed, by the way). Did you picture a man or a woman? Chances are high that you pictured a woman, but why?

What to do?

Historically, neuromodulator treatments, such as BOTOX COSMETIC® treatments, have focused on promoting facial rejuvenation for women. It’s no secret that women are more familiar with the aesthetic medical and cosmetic world, but men are just as susceptible to the aging process that gifts us with fine lines, wrinkles and folds.

It’s time to change the perception and get the word out that neuromodulator treatments are just as effective and helpful in refreshing a man’s youthful appearance as they are for a woman’s. Age doesn’t discriminate. Thankfully, neither do neuromodulator treatments such as BOTOX®…or should we say “BROTOX”?

What are neuromodulators?

Neuromodulators, such as the ever popular and lauded BOTOX COSMETIC® temporarily reduce the power of the facial muscles that cause facial wrinkles. It’s as simple as that. The benefits last for up to four months before their effects wear off and the body metabolizes the product.

What’s involved?

This treatment option is incredibly non-invasive, quick and has no associated downtime. Our talented Beauty Nurse™  deposits the neuromodulator into the area of concern. While there may be some minor bruising and pinprick bleeding for a few minutes following the treatment, most regular activities can be resumed immediately.

How does it look?

It’s important to receive neuromodulators from an experienced and qualified treatment provider. The treatment does not radically alter your appearance or make it obvious that you’ve “had something done.” Instead, the unwanted wrinkles gradually soften over the 7-14 days following treatment. Fine lines and wrinkles become less noticeable and softer, giving you an overall ‘refreshed’ look. Men, you won’t suddenly morph into a woman. We promise.

Age does a number on us all. Thankfully there’s something we can do to slow it down a bit and ease its effects for a time. Don’t be afraid to contact us for a consultation. Total discretion awaits you in Waterloo.
