Many men may not think of Botox as a solution for an aging face. Only about 6% of Botox procedures in 2018 were on men. But that doesn’t mean that Botox can’t be a useful and powerful cosmetic treatment for both sexes.
Botox® Cosmetic for men – sometimes known as “Brotox” – is often used to address lines and wrinkles from aging. The treatment is minimally-invasive and effective for frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines. Botox® Cosmetic can also treat health conditions like neck spasms, TMJ, and excess sweating.
Men may not be in the majority when it comes to Botox treatments, but this fast and easy procedure can effectively transform any skin type. Stadia Med Spa in San Antonio, TX, are experts at administering Botox® Cosmetic to help you remove wrinkles with one fast and easy treatment.

Botox® Cosmetic is a cosmetic treatment to reverse the signs of aging. The procedure itself requires little to no downtime. You will still be you – with fewer frown lines and more confidence in your appearance.
BOTOX® Cosmetic is injected under the skin to stop the underlying muscle activity that causes moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines in adults.
Botulinum toxins are injected into the muscles – a neurotoxin that is dangerous in large doses. But small doses can block the chemical signals from your nerves that contract the muscles. The muscles in the treatment area relax as a result.
As a result, your face looks years younger – and wrinkles disappear!
The primary benefit of Botox is fewer facial lines and wrinkles. Many people know that Botox can make you look younger, but they don’t know that the injections have other medical uses.
Botox interrupts the chemical signals which make your muscles contract. So it may also treat muscle dysfunctions that cause neck spasms, lazy eyes, and migraines. Many men also choose to have Botox injected into their armpits and other areas of the body to prevent excess sweating.
Botox injections need regular maintenance, and the effects don’t last forever. However, many people see the temporary nature of Botox as a benefit – if you are not happy with the results, you need to wait until they fade.
Before, During & After
Contact Stadia Med Spa to schedule a free consultation before your Botox treatment. The consultation allows your cosmetic surgeon to evaluate your area of concern and determine if Botox will help.
Be prepared to discuss your medical history. Most patients have little risk of complication, but sharing your complete medical history will ensure you get the best results from your treatment.
Certain allergies, skin or neurological conditions, and medications may make Botox an unsuitable treatment for you. Read more about what to expect during your Botox appointment below.
You should arrive on the day of your appointment with a clean face and no makeup. Blemishes or active infections in the treatment area may require you to postpone your treatment until the infection is gone.
Avoid anti-inflammatory medications, herbal supplements, and prescriptions for a week before and after treatment. NSAIDs increase your chance of bleeding or bruising after your treatment.
Botox is an FDA-approved treatment that does not require any downtime. The minimally invasive procedure takes 30 minutes or less in an office setting. Many people call Botox a lunch-hour cosmetic since you can complete the treatment in the time it takes your coworkers over lunch.
The botulinum toxin is made into a solution and injected into the muscle at strategic points. Most patients notice a pinching during injection, but not much pain.
You may receive a topical anesthetic to numb the treatment area. The needles used to inject botulinum toxins are very thin, and many people don’t need anesthetic. The exception is Botox around the mouth where the anesthetic is recommended.
Recovery from Botox is quick, and you should be able to return to normal activities right after treatment. You may want to take a day off from exercise and other strenuous activities. If Botox is injected into the face, you should plan to keep your head upright for the remainder of the day.
Botox can migrate to another area of the face if you rub the treatment area. Avoid facials, face massages, and touching the treatment area for at least 24 hours after your appointment. You may have minor bruising at the injection site, which should resolve quickly.
You should see visible results from your Botox treatment in five to seven days. The treatment results probably won’t appear until a couple of weeks after your treatment and will last three to four months. After that, patients will need another treatment to maintain results.

Botox® Cosmetic for men is an injectable solution to forehead wrinkles, crow’s feet, and frown lines made from botulinum toxins. The injection relaxes the muscles of your face and thus reduces the appearance of wrinkles. Botox also has medical uses and can treat issues like excess sweating, TMJ, and migraines.
Anyone frustrated by the early signs of aging can benefit from Botox® – including men! Botox Cosmetic treatments are ideal for men and women of any age.
If you are frustrated by the signs of aging – facial lines and wrinkles – Botox Cosmetic can give you excellent results. Botox is safe for all ethnicities and skin types.
The results from Botox become visible within three days of your treatment. It may take five days to two weeks for facial lines and wrinkles to fade. A single Botox session can have results that last up to four months. You will need regular treatments to maintain your results.
Botox should always be administered by a licensed medical professional. Botulinum toxins are poisonous and can have serious complications if administered incorrectly.
Common side effects may include pain, bruising, redness, or swelling at the injection site. When Botox is applied incorrectly, it can cause headaches, flu-like symptoms, facial asymmetry, drooling, and dry eyes.
Many of the side effects of Botox are temporary and will disappear within a few days of your appointment. Talk to Stadia Med Spa if your symptoms persist or worsen over time.
Botox results are not permanent. They can last up to three or four months before you need a maintenance visit. Some patients see that Botox lasts longer after the first treatment. Results vary from person to person.
A single Botox unit costs about $20. The average treatment for facial lines requires between 30 and 50 units. The cost of your Botox treatment will depend on your goals and the size of the treatment area. Contact Stadia Med Spa to schedule your free consultation for a more accurate estimate of your Botox costs.
Botox Cosmetic is often administered with dermal fillers, like Juvederm. Together, Botox and fillers can treat both dynamic and static wrinkles. Dynamic wrinkles are formed with repetitive facial movements, while static wrinkles result from collagen loss due to aging. When combined, these treatments provide a healthy, youthful appearance.
