Botox Cosmetic: one of top two most sought after cosmetic procedures by men

(NC)-If you thought that only women were concerned with reversing the signs of aging, guess again! According to the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, American men underwent more than a million cosmetic procedures in 2007 - a 17 per cent increase from the previous year. Botox Cosmetic was one of the top two procedures.

"Many people may be surprised that many of my clients are men who are increasingly seeking out a refreshed and more youthful look," says Dr. Paul Cohen, cosmetic dermatologist. "The reason for this growing trend is that men have a tendency to look angry or tired as they age, which can impact both their work and personal life."

Men commonly treat the forehead lines or the glabella, which are the lines found between the eyes. Many businessmen in particular are getting cosmetic treatments to advance their careers or stay ahead of younger competition.

"People are working longer and living healthier and more active lives today more than ever before," says Dr. Cohen. "Today's modern man recognizes the importance of looking his best and he embraces cosmetic procedures like Botox Cosmetic, which can safely take years off his appearance, keeping him at the top of his game both in the boardroom and back in the dating scene, for example."

Men who are curious about what they would look like if they tried a cosmetic treatment can test it out in the privacy of their own living room. An online tool recently launched allows users to upload a photo of themselves onto www.FACEinstitute.ca, and manipulate this image to see how they could look with fewer facial lines and wrinkles. Anyone considering Botox Cosmetic or any other cosmetic treatment should speak with a licensed and qualified physician in a medical setting for a thorough consultation.
