When it comes to Botox for men, there are many myths and misconceptions. When you visit Manitoba Men’s Health Clinic, we ensure your treatment is safe and allow you to look your best. It is time to shed some light on the botox procedure to better understand how you can enhance your appearance today. We are here to bust some myths, so listen up guys!

Botox is Dangerous

Botox is safe and has been used for years. Yes, it is made from the botulinum toxin. However, small and diluted doses are used during procedures that are perfectly safe for humans. Here is some context. Botox injections are under 100 units, and it would take over 3,000 units to cause severe damage to the skin. Manitoba Men’s Health Clinic has professional cosmetic physicians who are well-versed in safe practices.

Botox is Painful

Some patients believe Botox injections are a painful procedure. However, this is far from the truth. Professionals will take their time to prevent bruising or discoloration of the skin. The procedure is gradual, causing the face to look more natural over time. When done right, no one will know you got treatment. All they will see is your smooth, glowing skin.

Botox Freezes your Face

A common myth is that Botox freezes your face. Procedures look natural, so you can make any facial expression you want without worry. Botox is injected into specific muscles of the face and blocks signals sent from the nerves to the muscles. It will not engage or tighten muscles. Botox relaxes the muscles, decreases the appearance of wrinkles and gives the patient a smoother complexion.

Botox is Only a Cosmetic Procedure

There are several benefits to Botox injections that the average person might not think about. For example, injections can treat excessive sweating, chronic migraines, and bladder dysfunction. There are other medical reasons for undergoing treatment as well. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, consult with your doctor to determine if Botox is the right treatment for you and your needs.

Botox Only Works for Established Lines and Wrinkles

Did you know Botox can target wrinkles and lines before they appear on your face? Men in their late twenties and early thirties can stop wrinkles from forming before they appear. It is an effective way to manage wrinkles over time and is a great long-term investment to retain your youth. Getting treatment now means less work later.

Botox is Only for Women

Over the years, Botox injections have started growing in popularity among men. All of us want smooth skin and want quick and impressive results. It is a procedure for everyone because as we age, we all get wrinkles. Our professionals will address all your concerns during your consultation. Whether you suffer from migraines or want to turn back the clock, Botox can get the job done.
