What Is Brotox, and Why Is It Becoming So Popular?

Affectionately called “Brotox,” more men are pursuing Botox® treatments than ever before because of its ability to transform and create a more youthful appearance that will help boost your self-confidence.

Women and men of all ages have chosen Botox treatment to help treat dynamic movement lines such as expression lines on the forehead, parenthesis lines between the eyes, and fine lines at the corner of the eyes when they smile—all without any downtime and with results that last for months.

As an expert injector, Dr. Lisa McCoy in Snoqualmie, WA, works exclusively with injectables and has undergone extensive training from Allergan, the creators of Botox. Her knowledge and skill will produce results that will have you radiating confidence in no time.

How Does Botox Work?

Botox is derived from clostridium botulinum, a bacterium capable of binding the receptors in the muscles and blocking neurotransmitters that trigger muscle contractions. By blocking the muscle’s ability to contract, Botox reduces the activity of the muscles in the desired area, which stops wrinkles from being able to form. Don’t let the myth of Botox “freezing your face” trouble you, as this is far from the truth. You won’t lose muscle control, but you will lose your wrinkles, fine lines, and crow’s feet.

Why Is “Brotox” Becoming So Popular?

Some men may pursue the treatment to look better for (or along with) their significant other. Similarly, the proliferation of social media has drawn a focus to maintaining and presenting a youthful, radiant complexion. Maybe you simply want to impress colleagues, friends, or family members during a special event or want to look your best for that upcoming interview.

Botox is also a non-invasive procedure, meaning you can look absolutely fantastic without having to undergo an invasive procedure like a facelift or some other treatment that involves incisions, sutures, and downtime for recovery. Botox can be done in as little as 30 minutes, like during your lunch break! And you are immediately free to go about your busy day.

What To Expect From A “Brotox” Treatment With Dr. McCoy

Dr. McCoy is an incredibly compassionate, talented, and knowledgeable doctor with a passion for helping her patients look and feel their absolute best. To start your treatment, you will sit down with Dr. McCoy and discuss your aesthetic goals. She will thoroughly examine your skin to help determine the best course of action for your treatment.

Once you have both decided on your treatment plan, Dr. McCoy will first numb your skin with a topical anesthetic, if you so choose, and then begin administering the Botox through a tiny needle.

After your treatment, minor bruising, redness, and swelling can be expected, which should dissipate after a day or two. If the discoloration is something that bothers you, it can be easily covered with cosmetics. Swelling and discomfort can be alleviated with cold compresses and over-the-counter pain medication approved by Dr. McCoy. The full results of your Botox treatment will continue to evolve over the next couple of days.
