If you’ve walked through any store or supermarket, you’ve probably noticed that there’s been an upsurge in hygiene products being marketed specifically toward men. This has long been the case for shampoo and shaving products, but even other aspects of the beauty industry have found a male market that they’d previously neglected.
One of the most interesting examples is Botox, which has recently become increasingly popular among men. If you want to know why, and how so-called “Brotox” could help you, here’s some information you might find useful.
Brotox On The Rise
Since it hit the market in 1989, Botox has been incredibly popular for its ability to paralyze the muscles that are most likely to lead to wrinkles, which can give people a much more youthful appearance. Like most cosmetic surgery, this treatment was primarily aimed at women for a long time.
However, in recent years, men have gotten the procedure much more often. According to The American Society of Plastic Surgeons, there’s been a nearly 27% increase in men getting Botox since 2010. One Beverly Hills plastic surgeon estimated that about 30 percent of his Botox patients are male, and “Brotox” has become a phenomenon across the country.
The Role of Social Media
While it’s hard to pin down exactly why this is, social media seems to play a major factor. As Millennials enter their 30s and 40s, the first social media generation is becoming increasingly conscious of how aging affects their appearance in photos. As it turns out, this phenomenon includes Millennial men.
What Men Who Want Botox Should Consider
While stigmas are changing, some men still worry that getting Botox will make it look like they’ve had work done, which turns them off of the treatment. It’s worth noting that Botox done well is subtle, safe, and can produce results that will make you look and feel much younger.
However, there’s also a lot of bad Botox out there. Botox tailored specifically toward men is a growing industry, which means that there is a surplus of “professionals” who can’t give you the results that they claim to.
If you’re a man interested in Botox, you should seek out someone who has experience with male patients specifically, and who knows exactly where the injections ought to be placed. Make sure that you get your Botox from a medical professional—that’s the best way to get the results that you’re hoping for.
