Botox for Men
Men generally don’t want to give people the idea that they look frozen or that they've had work done.
You want to look rested. You want to look like you’ve slept well, even if you haven't. At Delatte Plastic Surgery, Skin Care, and Wellness, our goal for male patients is simple: Keep it subtle. We know that a completely smooth forehead or "airbrushed look" looks unnatural on men. We aim to keep some movement so you look just like yourself, but without the stress lines.
Botox is a prescription botulinum toxin product injected into muscles to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines, crow's feet lines, and forehead lines. It works the exact same way on both men and women, though it is administered slightly different.
Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA) is a purified protein that has been safely used in medicine and aesthetics for decades. When injected into targeted facial muscles, it temporarily reduces muscle activity, allowing the overlying skin to relax and appear smoother.
Botox is a versatile tool. While we focus on cosmetic treatments, the power of Botulinum toxin goes far beyond looks.
We don't apply a standard template to every guy who walks in. Men have different muscle density and brow shapes, meaning we have to place the product strategically to avoid that "startled" look.
This is the most common request, but honestly, it’s the easiest one to mess up if you aren't careful. We treat horizontal lines here to smooth the texture, but we keep it conservative, leaving enough movement so you can still raise your eyebrows. Otherwise, your brow feels heavy and your expression looks blank.
These vertical lines are the "stress center." They make you look intense or annoyed, even when you’re perfectly calm. We relax these muscles to neutralize that aggression. It clears your expression without changing your face.
A few lines here show character, but deep trenches show age. We soften the squint lines at the corners of your eyes just enough to make you look rested. We want to keep your natural smile intact, not wipe it away.
High-stress jobs often lead to clenching or grinding. Injecting the jaw muscles relieves that physical tension and protects your teeth. As a bonus, it reduces bulk from the muscle, which can subtly sharpen the jawline.
Most healthy men are excellent candidates for Botox. Your consultation is designed to ensure it’s both safe and appropriate for you.
We may have to postpone treatment or recommend a different approach to rejuvenation if you have:
We know you're a busy guy. Botox treatments are fast—you can do it on a lunch break. But here is the honest truth about what it feels like.
While Botox isn’t a spa treatment, it’s quick, controlled, and typically very well tolerated. You will feel a quick pinch or pressure at the injection site. Most male patients handle it easily without numbing cream. Because men usually have stronger facial muscles than women, we often use more units or higher doses to get the right result. We map out your forehead muscles and crow's feet carefully to ensure natural-looking results.
One reason Botox is the #1 cosmetic treatment is the lack of downtime. You can go right back to work. However, there are a few rules to make sure the Botox works.
Patience is key. You won't look much different the second you leave the chair.
The price of Botox isn't a flat fee.
It depends on how many units we use. Because men generally have stronger muscles and larger foreheads, they typically need higher doses than women to relax the facial muscles.
We will give you an exact quote during your consultation based on your aesthetic goals. We also offer financing to make regular treatments easy on your budget.
Botox is everywhere, but technique matters. We aren't just injecting a product; we're shaping your face.
Dr. Delatte and our team understand men's faces. Treating male facial anatomy requires a different approach than female injections. Without that understanding, results can look unnatural. It could cause arched brows and feminine features, things most men aren't looking for. We have the experience in using and administering botulinum toxin products on hundreds of patients, so we are confident you will leave feeling better than when you came in.
Don't let frown lines make you look tired.

Most men say Botox injections feel like a quick pinch. We use tiny needles to keep it comfortable at the injection site.
No. We want to temporarily improve lines, not freeze your face. We adjust the dose so you can still make facial expressions without deep frown lines.
Yes. Botox Cosmetic is FDA-approved and has been used for cosmetic purposes for over 20 years. It is also used for medical purposes like chronic migraine, muscle spasms, and excessive sweating.
Side effects are usually mild. You might get redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site. Rare side effects include drooping eyebrows or eyelids, or flu-like symptoms. Serious allergic reactions or trouble swallowing are very rare.
Yes. We use Botox to treat hyperhidrosis (heavy underarm sweating). It stops the chemical signals that trigger sweat.
Botox relaxes muscles to smooth facial wrinkles. Fillers add volume to areas like cheeks. We often combine cosmetic injections for a full refresh.
This is extremely unlikely. Cosmetic Botox uses very small, controlled doses of purified protein.
It depends. Conditions like cerebral palsy or lower limb spasticity are treated with Botox. But if you have myasthenia gravis or Lambert-Eaton syndrome, you should not get Botox.
