Botox for Men in Myeongdong, Seoul

Men usually have stronger, thicker facial muscles and a flatter brow shape. Good male Botox uses enough product to work, placed to keep a straight, masculine brow and a natural expression.

Quick answer

Botox for men treats the same areas as for women, most often frown lines, forehead lines, crow’s feet and a wide jaw, but doses are planned for stronger muscles and placement keeps a lower, straighter male brow. Men often need more units for the same effect. Treatment takes 10–15 minutes, works in 3–5 days and lasts about 3–4 months.

How is Botox different for men?

Male facial muscles are usually larger, so a dose that works for a woman may barely change a man’s frown. Men also tend to prefer a flat brow; arching it, as is common in female treatment, can look feminising. Our doctors adjust both dose and placement, which is why male results look natural. Our guide on men’s Botox near Jongno covers more.

Who is it for?

  • Frown lines that make you look stern or tired.
  • Forehead lines and crow’s feet.
  • A wide, square jaw from strong chewing muscles, see jaw Botox.
  • Heavy sweating, see underarm Botox.

How Obliv plans Botox for men

Your doctor assesses muscle bulk while you frown and clench, keeps forehead points low enough to avoid an arch, and records units per area. Many men start with the frown and jaw, the two areas with the most visible effect.

Frequently asked questions

Do men need more Botox than women?

Often yes, because male facial muscles are usually stronger. Your doctor sets units by muscle strength, not gender alone.

Will Botox make my brows look feminine?

Not when it is placed for a male brow. We keep forehead points lower to avoid creating an arch.

Which areas do men treat most?

Frown lines, forehead lines, crow’s feet and jaw slimming are the most common.
