Botox for Men ("Brotox"): What to Know Before Your First Visit

Men are one of the fastest-growing groups booking neurotoxin treatments — enough that “Brotox” became a real word. If you’re a guy considering it (or researching for one), here’s what’s actually different about Botox for men.

Why men’s Botox isn’t just Botox

Men’s facial anatomy genuinely differs, and good treatment accounts for it:

• Stronger muscles — men’s forehead and brow muscles are typically larger, so effective treatment often needs more units than the same area on a woman.
• Different brow shape — a masculine brow sits flatter and lower. A skilled injector keeps it that way; over-lifting the brow is how men end up looking surprised or feminized.
• The goal is usually subtlety — most men want to look less tired or less stern at work, not “done.”

This is why cookie-cutter dosing doesn’t serve men well — technique and placement matter (see our full Botox & neurotoxin page).

The most common areas for men

• Frown lines (the ”11s”) — the top request; softens the “always annoyed” resting look (more here)
• Forehead lines
• Crow’s feet (details)
• Masseter — jaw slimming is less common for men, but teeth grinding and jaw tension relief is a big one (masseter Botox)
• Underarm sweating — one of the most life-improving treatments for men who sweat through dress shirts (Botox for sweating)

What a first visit is like

No pitch, no fuss: a conversation about what bothers you, an assessment of how your face moves, a clear quote in units, and a treatment that takes about 10–15 minutes. Results build over two weeks and last roughly 3–4 months (timeline here). Nobody has to know — most colleagues just think you slept well.

Every treatment at Chrysalis Beauté is performed by Crystal Simm, RPN, and yes — plenty of her clients are men.
