“Boytox” = Men having Botox
May 5th, 2010
According to a recent report by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) their survey found men’s relatively infrequent injections of Botox rose to 330,000 in 2009, an increase of 10%. This is compared to the numbers of women having reached a plateau at 2.8 million procedures last year.
The Harley Medical Group, the UK’s largest cosmetic surgery provider, reveals the non-surgical cosmetic surgery market has seen continued growth in 2009, with dermal fillers and chemical peels driving the increase by 26% and a whopping 306% respectively. In perhaps an emerging new trend, 2009 also saw a continued rise in the number of male patients (up 10%). Men now account for 18% of all patients seen in the UK. The numbers are slightly lower in the US.
This growing market has coined two new terms, ‘Boytox’ (male Botox) and ‘Sweatox’ (anti-sweat Botox).

Review the Math. Practice makes perfect. Ask how many patients your doctor has treated.
Ask about credentials and training. A weekend course is not enough. Beware of Bargains. Be skeptical of a deal that seems too cheap.
