Botox
-
Do guys get Botox? I’ll admit at my mid 40s, I look like I’m in my mid 40s. I’m too lazy to pursue getting Botox but I like the mental fantasy of magically looking 10 years younger.

my advice, personally? if you're curious, get a Botox injection. it is temporary, exceedingly well-studied, and generally does not interact with any other precription medicine. If you don't like it, it will wear off, just don't get it again and you're gold.
however, do NOT get fillers done, because from what research has been coming out over the past few years, the general consensus is that fillers do not break down in the body, and merely migrate when the dermis loses tensity. you will almost certainly need to get them surgically removed, and that shit isn't as easy as just injecting it back out. Though, I understand that recent studies have opened up a method of using some new kind of radio wave mapping to determine where all the filler went so that they can actually suck it back out piece by piece.
Realistically, I should just do some type of facial skincare routine. I just wash my face and use face cream occasionally but I think I’ll google men’s skincare or something. I imagine it’s good for you but I’m not putting in the effort of a Botox or similar. I have other stuff I should probably prioritize first like trying to go vegetarian.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Yes, guys get Botox but there are things that are more attractive: handle nose hair, pluck ear hair, trim eyebrows, whiten teeth, remove skin tags, get a decent haircut regularly, work out.
Edit: look younger, not more attractive! Fuck! Youth ≠ attractiveness.

And now I can't unsee it. Well done.

You didn't even say do something about thinning hair, fuck yeah I got this down

Most botox patients are there for therapeutic reasons; it's a common and (if it works for you) extremely effective treatment for chronic migraines.
Really? Neat.
-
It's not a one-and-done treatment. You need to keep going back, so the doctor's incentivised to make sure you still want to come back.
Keep em trapped with fear of ugliness.

Hey, maybe some men are into women licking their own eyeballs.
That's not a thing I'm into, but now I'm curious

Lovense Edge 2!

Oh god, it’s like the before and after of ecce homo

Everything's a toxin at a high enough dosage. And even at that dosage they can still be therapeutic. See: chemotherapy, as an extreme example.
With botox specifically, it has applications outside of just making lizard-faces. Off the top of my head, it's used as a treatment for migraines by injecting it into the back of the scalp - any swelling/filling effect it has is concealed by the hair anyway, unless the patient is bald.
Botox is a paralytic that affects the muscle it's injected into. It does not do anything to skin, it just paralyzes the muscles in your face so you can't make the facial expressions that lead to wrinkles. The migraine prophylaxis treatment is based on the migraines stemming from tension headaches, so if you get headaches from something else, the Botox treatment won't work.

It's effective if your headaches are tension headaches. It works by paralyzing the muscles that pull on your scalp and skull, so if you get headaches from anything besides muscle tension, it's not going to work for you.

Well I am now

Pamela Anderson has had plenty of work done, just better work.
Some of it is better.

No successful Botox doctor is going to be this honest. It's bad for business.
the OP is a fairly well known stand up. this is a joke

Don't worry about thnning hair, just take care of what you have!

I answered higher up, but sunscreen (I use mineral sunblock but the Korean chemical sunscreens are really good too) in the morning, and Retin-A (prescription 0.1%) at night are for sure the two best things you can do to keep your skin in good shape. Consistency really pays off. Even if you sometimes forget the sunscreen - putting it on day after day with a few misses is better than using it only when you think you need it.
Men's face skin is slightly thicker than women's but otherwise the same, and superficially the same.

There's a classic survivorship bias where people think all Botox is bad because we always see the obvious gaffs and just assume that good Botox is natural. Botox is a lot more common than people think, it's usually just a touch-up
That being said. It puts me off how often you see celebrities with botched jobs. You would think that with all the resources at their disposal they would get the best. And if the best cant do it at least 90% of the time there's no way you're putting me under the needle of whoever I can afford.
Not that I really have a strong desire to get Botox right now, but I don't know who I'll be in the future.
