Botox in men. Taboo or completely accepted?

Brotox, or botox for men: taboo or is it now fully embraced? KNMG cosmetic doctor Frodo Gaymans gives free rein to his thoughts on the current state of appearance care, and in particular Botox, for modern men.

''A smooth face and a youthful appearance seem to be available on almost every street corner. Partly due to this accessibility and acceptance, men have finally jumped on board the botox train - also known as brotox. Brotox simply means: botox for men. What was once considered the exclusive domain of movie stars and influencers has now become a playground for the modern man who strives for a fresh look and more charisma. If you thought men are indifferent to their appearance, think again. Long gone are the days when they settled for a simple shave and a little aftershave. In recent years, the world seems to realize that grooming is not just for ladies. This is partly thanks to icons like Ryan Gosling and Brad Pitt, who seem to be aging backwards. And why should men lag behind too, when they have the chance to erase those angry frown lines and tame those bags? As long as a cosmetic treatment with fillers or botox is not overdone, you are assured of a natural appearance.

There is no real distinction in the treatment of men and women, but the choice for a man is more often on treatments against a sullen look, drooping eyelids or, for example, strengthening the jaw and chin. Despite a positive shift, there is still some taboo on brotox. Men have a difficult affair with cosmetic products and treatments, but that seems to be easing off a bit now. Where it used to be purely a sign of vanity, nowadays it is more a matter of self-care and self-expression. It's not about hiding the signs of aging. Men also just want to look good and feel good. If a small injection is needed, so be it.”
