“Brotox” for a More Youthful Look

At Stephens Plastic Surgery + Skincare Aesthetics of Baton Rouge, we’ve seen a significant increase in our male patients choosing the benefits of BOTOX.

In fact, BOTOX injections are the number one aesthetic procedure requested by men, with about 473,380 treatments performed on men each year.

The Science of BOTOX: How it Works

BOTOX is a neuromodulator, which means it works by temporarily disabling your muscles from being able to contract. When the muscle can’t contract, it can’t form a wrinkle. BOTOX blocks the transmission of nerve impulses that are sent to these muscles to make the lines that come from frowning, laughing, and squinting.

It essentially gives those muscles a break and allows your skin to look smoother. At Skincare Aesthetics of Baton Rouge, our team is highly trained in BOTOX injections, which means we know exactly how much to administer so that you don’t look frozen or unnatural — just younger and better.

How is BOTOX Different for Men and Women?

It’s very important to work with an aesthetician who understands the difference between injecting BOTOX for men and women. Men tend to require more because their muscles are stronger and thicker. The placement of the facial bones also comes into play. For the most natural-looking BOTOX results, be sure to choose your provider carefully.

BOTOX Treatment Details

BOTOX treatments are fast and convenient, allowing you to get right back to your regular day. We will clean and prep your skin, and then the injections will be carefully and expertly administered. We use a fine needle to minimize discomfort. BOTOX treatments only take about 15 minutes.

Downtime and Results

One of the many reasons why patients love BOTOX is how little downtime it requires. You’ll be able to go right back to your normal day, with only a few physical restrictions. These include rubbing or sleeping on your face, intense exercise, tanning, and excessive heat (saunas, hot tubs, etc.) for one week.

Side effects, which are rare, include swelling, bruising, and numbness at the injection sites; headache; nausea; temporary drooping of the eyelid, and tenderness.

You’ll see results in about one week which last up to six months. The longevity of results will depend on the strength of your facial muscles and how deep your wrinkles are.
