As leading experts in the top non-surgical procedure, The LUXE Clinique have explored the reasons why more men are investing in Botox, from its aesthetic qualities to many of its medical uses.

The difference between treating men and women with Botox

There are only a few main differences in the difference between men and women who seek Botox treatments.

The first is the dose of Botox required. Men typically have higher muscle volume and density in the face, meaning the dosage will be altered. However, this will be determined at an initial consultation, as the number of injections you require will differ depending on the results you seek, as well as the unique dynamic aspect of your facial muscles.

The second key difference is the aesthetic principles of beauty that differ between men and women. For example, whilst women may seek Botox to accentuate the natural arched shape of their eyebrow, male faces are considered more attractive with a straight, neutral eyebrow shape.

This impacts the procedures that men will seek when receiving the revolutionary effects of Botulinum toxin.

Why men seek Botox Treatments

1. Excessive sweating  (Hyperhidrosis)

Hyperhidrosis, a condition that causes excessive sweating, is an uncomfortable affliction that is present in both women and men. Men who suffer from hyperhidrosis can feel their day-to-day life is impacted by its effect, as it is the nervous system and not necessarily heat that drives sweat production.

Botox is often sought by men to prevent excessive sweating. The injections target overactive sweat glands, providing long-lasting relief from profuse sweating, restoring confidence and comfort in various social and professional situations.

2. Reduce premature wrinkles

In a recent study, it was discovered that reducing premature signs of ageing was the most common reason for men seeking Botox. Botox can be used as a proactive approach to prevent crows feet, frown lines and forehead lines forming deep creases, as well as the ability to smooth fine lines in the face, neck and hands.

By relaxing the muscles responsible for wrinkle formation, it can significantly reduce the development of wrinkles. Men of all ages are embracing Botox as a preventative measure to maintain youthful and healthy-looking skin.

3. Migraine treatment

Botox is approved for use for the treatment of chronic migraines, a condition that causes individuals to be significantly impacted in terms of daily life. It is believed Botox is able to cure pain caused by chronic migraines by blocking the neurotransmitters that carry pain signals within the brain, and reducing muscular tension.

If you are prescribed Botox to reduce the impact of chronic migraines on your life, then you will endure two treatment cycles before it is decided whether this is the correct treatment for you.

Women are more likely to experience migraines than men, but the likelihood of men seeking treatment for the symptoms of chronic migraines is on the rise, with Botox being a common medical solution.

4. Accentuate facial features

The use of Botox extends beyond reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Its ability to accentuate masculine facial features allows a wealth of licenced applications for achieving a natural, desired look. Men can benefit from targeted Botox treatments that accentuate their strong jawlines, cheekbones, and other defining facial characteristics. This precise application can bring out the best in one’s natural features.

Botox can be injected into several areas of the face, and its application include:

• Smoothing chin creases/dimpling
• Jawline shaping
• Lifting downturned mouth
• Removing bunny lines across the nose

5. Discreet results

With the correct dosage, Botox injections produce subtle results that highlight the existing characteristics of male features. The procedure itself is quick and non-invasive which appeals to a demographic of men who may have busy schedules, or prefer not to undergo surgical procedures.

Men often seek a natural look, and Botox provides just that. When administered by a skilled practitioner, Botox can relax muscles in a way that retains facial expressions while reducing wrinkles.

6. Reduces Muscle Contractions

Beyond aesthetics, Botox can be a valuable therapeutic solution. Men with certain medical conditions, such as muscle spasms or cervical dystonia, benefit from the muscle-relaxing properties of Botox. These treatments can improve mobility and overall quality of life.

Sweating is a normal bodily function that occurs when your body temperature rises, this could be during exercise or exertion. However,  those suffering from hyperhidrosis find themselves sweating excessively while running daily errands, affecting their confidence daily, and sometimes leaving them embarrassed to even leave the house.

At The LUXE Clinique, we are committed to providing you with treatments that bring ease to your life and your mind. That is why we have created a guide on what causes excessive sweating, symptoms to keep an eye on, and how to seek treatment.

What causes excessive sweating?

Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) is caused by overactive or faulty nerve signals that trigger the body’s sweat glands at the wrong times. There is no confirmed medical cause for Hyperhidrosis, however some medical professionals believe it can be caused by a sudden emotional or physical fright, or genetic factors.

Hyperhidrosis can also be the result of underlying medical conditions like diabetes, menopause, thyroid problems, nervous system disorders or an internal infection. It can likewise be triggered by medications including certain antidepressant prescriptions and hormonal tablets.

There is no need to panic if you are experiencing sudden signs of excessive sweating, unless it persists for longer than six months, is having an adverse effect on your mental wellbeing, or is accompanied by other symptoms.

The LUXE Clinique understands that Hyperhidrosis can impact your self confidence and daily life. Dr. Robby Bajaj is committed to providing you with impactful treatments that put your comfort first.

Symptoms of Hyperhidrosis

Hyperhidrosis is described as excessive sweating that is not caused by heat, physical exertion, anxiety or stress.

It usually occurs on the hands, face, feet and underarms. You may have Hyperhidrosis if you experience one or more periods of heavy sweating per week, or if you are susceptible to unexplained sweating in your sleep.

The condition can be generalised or located in specific areas of your body. Often there is no odour, just a large volume of clear liquid that appears without provocation.

When to contact a medical professional about excessive sweating

Hyperhidrosis can be a symptom of an underlying medical condition.

If you experience any of the following symptoms then you must seek immediate attention from your general practitioner:

• Sweating impacts your daily routine
• You experience social withdrawal or emotional distress
• You experience unexplained sweating at night
• You suddenly begin to sweat more than usual
• Excessive sweating is accompanied by dizziness, cold skin, a rapid pulse or pain in the chest, throat, jaw, arms or shoulders

Even if you don’t notice any of these symptoms, excessive sweating can cause an increase in anxiety and disruption to your daily life so it is important to get it treated.

How to minimise excessive sweating

If you are experience excessive sweating, then you could try:

• Wearing loose fitting clothing
• Avoiding wearing synthetic fabrics
• Using stronger/prescription antiperspirants

However, these are only temporary measures and not permanent solutions. It is better to seek medical advice if your life is being impacted by Hyperhidrosis.

Medical Treatments

Tablets

Hyperhidrosis can be treated with an oral tablet to block the nerves that trigger sweat glands. This is only effective in certain cases.

Side effects include:

• Blurred vision
• Bladder weakness

Prescription creams and wipes

Prescription creams contain glycopyrrolate which eases sweating around the face. Wipes that contain glycopyrronium tosylate which reduces the symptoms of excessive sweating in the feet, hands and underarms.

Side effects include:

• Dry mouth
• Skin irritation

Surgery

If the impact of excessive sweating is particularly severe then your GP may recommend surgery to remove sweat glands.

Surgery may seem appealing because it is permanent but it carries risks.

Side effects include:

• Infection in the treated area
• Loss of feeling in the underarm
• Dry skin
• Permanent scarring
• Compensatory sweating

Botox

Botox prevents and diminishes excessive sweating along the brow line and armpits by blocking the nerves that trigger sweat glands. When this is applied correctly, patients experience efficient results for up to 6 months with minimal discomfort.

Botox is a type of medical aesthetic that can only be accessed if it has been prescribed by a medical professional.

Side effects include:

• Temporary bruising and sensitivity
