More and more men opting for syringes
More and more men are also finding their way to the clinic to get a beautiful result with a minor procedure.Logical of course, because why would you keep walking around with a frown if you look a lot happier after a prick? Or why get sweat patches under your tight shirt if you don't have to? Below you can read which treatments men often opt for.
Botox: for a fresher and happier face
The most frequently performed treatment in men is "the frown. This one is by far number one! With time, your skin gets a little saggy and a frown line then becomes more visible. The result? An angry or worried look. While you are perfectly happy. A shame and completely unnecessary. We can easily correct these frown lines with botox.
Fillers give you a rested appearance
Are the lines in your vision already very deep? Then you can have them filled with a filler. A minor procedure that you can simply have done at the clinic. Fillers are popular with men because you can apply this in many ways. Some men suffer from a tired look. This may be due to thinning of the skin combined with shrinkage of the skeleton. This makes the tear gutter more visible: the groove between the lower eyelid and the cheek. A dark shadow (better known as a rampart or dark circle) then falls into the tear gutter. The tear ducts can be filled with a filler, making the "wal" less visible. This gives you a fresher and more rested look. Want to read more about fillers? Click here!
Botox for dry armpits
Botox under the armpits is also commonly used in men. Men generally perspire more than women. Also, the odor is more powerful. Excessive perspiration can make you feel insecure, because of the unpleasant odors and wet spots in clothing. This can be easily solved with Botox. Botox blocks the action of nerves that excite the sweat glands and prompt them to perspire. Thus, you reduce sweat production and no longer suffer from wet spots in your shirt.
