Botox® Cosmetic has been banishing wrinkles since 2002, and for a long time, a predominantly female audience cashed in on those benefits. That being said, there's been a notable shift in cosmetic treatments in recent years: More men are choosing Botox injections.
Here at the Men’s Corner at Best Impression Medical Spa and Laser Center in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, we help men turn back the hands of time with nonsurgical anti-aging treatments every day — and that includes Botox injections!
Below, Dr. Vivian Hsu and Dr. Robert Mirabile talk more about Botox for men and how this trend reflects changing societal norms and a growing acceptance of self-care among men.
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the number of men receiving Botox injections increased by 381% from 2000 to 2020. In 2020 alone, over 265,000 men received Botox treatments — a significant jump from two decades prior.
The rise in male Botox usage (and other treatments like dermal fillers and Kybella ® injections) reflects a broader cultural shift toward accepting and normalizing men's grooming and self-care routines.

Not all aesthetic treatments are quick. Some treatments, such as a facelift, require lengthy downtimes and a commitment to your recovery. That just isn’t true for Botox.
Botox is a nonsurgical procedure that requires minimal downtime. The convenience of quick sessions — often completed during a lunch break — appeals to men with busy schedules.
Despite its growing popularity and the many benefits of Botox, several myths about men receiving Botox persist:
This misconception is fading as more men openly discuss and pursue cosmetic treatments. The desire to look one's best is universal, transcending gender.
When administered by qualified professionals like Dr. Hsu and Dr. Mirabile, Botox offers natural-looking results. The goal is to enhance your features subtly so your expressions remain authentic.
Most men experience minimal discomfort during the procedure — just a slight pinch. Post-treatment, you can typically resume your regular activities immediately, although you’ll need to avoid strenuous activities, hot tubs, and hot showers for at least 24 hours.
