Before and After Botox in Male Forehead*

Botulinum toxin type A is an injectable neurotoxin, better known under brand names such as Botox Cosmetic®, Dysport®, Xeomin® and the newest FDA approved option Jeuveau.

Neurotoxin treatments are the most popular single cosmetic procedure in the U.S. and are mainly used to smooth dynamic wrinkles, or those wrinkles that form as a result of facial movements like frowning, squinting, smiling, and other expressions we tend to make day after day.

Treatment works by blocking nerve impulses to the muscles, causing them to relax. As a result, your expressions soften, and the dynamic wrinkles are greatly reduced.

Botox-type injectables can help an adult patient of any age improve his or her appearance, not only imparting a more youthful look, but also alleviating an overly concerned look, helping you look better refreshed or even more pleasant. The most commonly treated areas are those where muscle activity influences facial features, such as the following:

·         Glabellar lines (a.k.a. “elevens” or frown lines)

·         Wrinkles around the eyes, such as crow’s feet

·         Forehead creases

·         Corners of the mouth

·         A “cobblestoned” appearance to the chin

 All four products are FDA approved and have been used safely and effectively for years. Which of these products is best for you will depend on your unique anatomy, your goals, and your cosmetic injectors recommendations.

When selecting a provider for injectable treatments, it is very important to choose a highly skilled and experienced injector. 

Experience and optimal results should be the priority when choosing an injector, not price. Ask to see before & after photos of your provider’s patients. 

The wrinkle-reducing effects from these treatments will vary depending on the patient, the area treated, and the product used, but results will typically last anywhere from 3 to 6 months. To maintain your results, repeat treatments are necessary.

While neurotoxins are most commonly used to treat facial wrinkles, they can also be used to address other aesthetic concerns that are associated with nerve and muscle activity:

Reduce excessive sweating. Botulinum type A injections can be used to interrupt the nerve impulses that activate the sweat glands, helping alleviate embarrassment from excessive sweating on the armpits, hands or feet.

Soften vertical neck bands. If you are bothered by prominent vertical bands on your neck, botulinum toxins can be used to relax the responsible muscles and give your neck a smoother, softer appearance.
