Cosmetic injectables can help to reduce common signs of aging and achieve a more refreshed and youthful appearance, but as a man you may have specific aesthetic goals. You probably want subtle enhancement—no one needs to know but you—that reflects your more masculine features. At Vein & Cosmetic Center of Tampa Bay, we offer Brotox, BOTOX® Cosmetic that is customized to suit a man’s unique desired outcome and anatomic needs. Our experienced nurse injectors, including Kristen Thornley, ARNP, have the skills necessary to help you look younger, happier, and more rested with a simple treatment lasting approximately 10 minutes.The difference between traditional treatment with BOTOX® Cosmetic and Brotox for men is all in the technique. Men typically have thicker skin than women, and their concerns usually will be just as singular. We can customize a treatment plan during your initial consultation to target the areas that you want addressed. BOTOX® injections can help to smooth lines across the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes to give you a more rested and youthful look that is noticeable without being obvious. Friends and colleagues may remark that you look more relaxed and happy, but they should not attribute this change to a cosmetic procedure.The effects of BOTOX® Cosmetic are somewhat gradual compared to many cosmetic injectables, as they develop over the course of about three to seven days. This can help to achieve more natural-looking improvement. The results typically last approximately three to five months, depending on your unique experience, and they can be maintained with regular treatments. Little to no downtime is normal, and you should be able to return to regular activities immediately following the procedure. You may experience some redness or swelling at the injection sites, but these symptoms should fade quickly.If you have additional questions about BOTOX® Cosmetic, or if you would like to schedule a consultation with one of our registered nurse injectors, please contact us today.
