Botox is a male thing as well.

Called "Boytox" because of his addiction to the substance that removes their wrinkles. In the United States tripled trend. In Argentina there are no records but it is becoming more common. They arrive to the surgeon accompanied by their wives.

"Baby, why not?" So, with this simple and harmless question, together with their wives, men are beginning to consume Botox. And then, never stop. A study by the American Society of Plastic Surgery, and published by Time magazine, notes that between 2001 and 2007, in the United States tripled the use of botulinum toxin in males, an aesthetic trend that already has a name - Boytox – and a cause as well. According to the release, the consumption of this substance is because the economic crisis: If you can not prevent the world from falling to pieces, the gentlemen will do everything possible to not show it on their faces. In Argentina - Country use to the disaster – there are not official. redcords, but the situation seems even more pronounced: in 2003 this increased consumption of Botox and when not to 300, when to 700 percent.

"In 2003, only 2% of patients were male Argentine, now that figure does not drop 15%" says Dr. Raul Banegas, member of the Society of Plastic Surgery of Buenos Aires. In Brazil is greater: almost half of consumers of Botox are men. In all cases, the patient goes through his wife, who is also a patient. She explains that it's easy, fast and not showing. So convincing and presented it".

Unlike women, men never get recommended by a friend-factor, Botox hides under seven keys and do not look at the needle or the young beauty lost: on the opposite, they wants to see-just healthy, well rested and free problems. And just with a shot ,they look as if everything matters. "The executives, especially in times of crisis, they feel the need to look good, competitive and free of any distress circumstantial Banegas says. Botox, used in between eyebrows takes out the concern faces".

"In addition to personal reasons, many go to make a sort of favor to their wives” said the surgeon Marcelo Bernstein, member of the Argentine Society of Plastic Surgery. The little bottle with Botox is often shared among friends. But if a woman does not have a friend to share, try to convince her husband".

IRONING.  According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons in the United States during 2001 applied 106 thousand doses of Botox in men, whereas this figure rose to 300 thousand in 2007. The increase in the market is so huge to the website of Botox brand is said "of course, is not just for women," and presented a brochure for dissemination to the side of Mark Spitz, winner of Olympic swimmer several gold medals, who began injecting in the past year. Why the athlete took that step? On the one hand, a friend of him, the ex-gymnast Nadia Comaneci said that the wrinkles between her eyes did see old and serious. In other hands, Allergan - multinational company who markets Botox -  offered him a small fortune to promote the brand. Since then, he change the Olympic torch by the hypodermic needle. "For the men are concerned that not only hurts warns Spitz. Maybe that's why women have children and we do not".

There are other public figures who, if admitted, could spark sales of Botox for men. Tom Cruise is well known that besides retouched nose tip years ago -- shots before attending a public ceremony (at the Golden Globes he look as totally ironing). And American journalism is convinced that Brad Pitt was hospitalized in the Medical Center Cedars-Sinai to remove the worst virus of all: the wrinkles. "Among men, made an aesthetic treatment is still frowned upon, so many opt to Botox: not as a filler substance, no one notices that you placed and do not let the stigma of having gone through a plastic surgeon says Dr. Alejandro Antón, Argentine member of the American Association of Plastic Surgery. You don’t look swollen and red, and if it is good placed you won’t have an scared face like years ago. When they arrive, many say just stupid things because the shame that gives them, but later they relax, left got shot and they go happy.
