Botox has been one of the most popular cosmetic enhancement procedures for women around the world for years. Now, researchers are seeing a new trend for Botox among a new group: men.
Brotox: Botox for Men
It may seem like just a rumor, but the medical journal Cosmetic Dermatology says in the last decade men receiving Botox injections has increased 258 percent! That’s not just a few more guys a year taking their skin routine to the next level.
So why the increase now? There are many reasons researchers believe are playing a role:
- A more open dialogue about beauty and health decisions among community members, often with less judgment for choices
- A more down to earth look into the lives of celebrities and the wealthy elite who often use fillers and other cosmetic enhancements to improve their look
- A more competitive business climate where older men feel forced to find new ways to keep up with young and upcoming competition
Male Celebrities Using Botox
Male celebrities haven’t been as forthcoming about their beauty regimes as their female counterparts have in the past. But one outspoken celebrity who has willingly shared his feelings on Botox is Simon Cowell, most famous for his personality on American Idol.
UK’s Glamour magazine once quoted him saying,
“To me, Botox is no more unusual than toothpaste. It works, you do it once a year – who cares,” said Davis. 
What is Botox
Botox is an injection made of botulinum toxin that reduces muscle contractions and eliminating wrinkles by temporarily paralyzing the muscles. It typically lasts several months and is a safe treatment method approved by the FDA.
