“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,  â€˜Boytox’ (male Botox) and ‘Sweatox’ (anti-sweat Botox).

Botox by the Numbers

April 27th, 2010

Considering Botox?

2.8 million women received Botox treatments to minimize facial wrinkles last year, according to a recent report by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).

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.

Tomorrow:  We check in with Barb one week after surgery, is she happy with her breast augmentation?
