Most Popular Botox Areas for Men

Why Focus on Male Treatment Areas?

Botox for men has become one of the fastest growing areas in aesthetics. But while the goals of men and women overlap, the most popular treatment areas often differ. Men typically focus on lines that make them appear stressed, tired or angry rather than seeking dramatic changes. At It’s Me & You Clinic, we find male patients value subtlety, with results that refresh rather than transform.

Forehead Lines

The forehead is the single most requested treatment area among men. Deep horizontal lines often develop from years of expression, stress or sun exposure. While women sometimes request a brow lift effect, men usually prefer to keep the brow flat and masculine. Dr Laura Geige explains, “we reduce the depth of forehead lines but avoid over lifting. The goal is to look rested, not surprised.”

Treatments such as upper face Botox are commonly used here. For men in professions requiring authority, reducing forehead lines without altering expression can significantly impact confidence.

Glabellar Lines (Frown Lines)

The “11 lines” between the brows are another top concern for men. They can create an angry or unapproachable expression. Dr Snieguole Geige notes, “glabellar muscles are often stronger in men. Doses may need to be higher, but treatment can make a huge difference in softening the overall look.” This area links closely with our article How Many Units of Botox Do Men Usually Need?.

Crow’s Feet (Eye Area)

Crow’s feet are a natural part of expression but can make men appear older. Treatments in this area aim to reduce depth while preserving natural smiling expression. Dr Carol Mastropierro, dermatologist, explains that “for men it is important not to over relax the eyes. Leaving some movement avoids an unnatural look.” Procedures such as crow’s feet Botox are popular among male patients who want to look fresher without losing warmth in their smile.

Jawline and Masseter Area

Jawline definition is a strong masculine trait. Some men have enlarged masseter muscles which create bulk at the side of the jaw. In selected cases, jawline slimming Botox can help refine proportions without softening strength. Dr Laura Geige highlights, “for men we are cautious. The goal is to contour, not to slim excessively. Many men want a sharper angle rather than a smaller face.” For lower face refinement, some men also consider Nefertiti neck lift techniques.

Chin and Dimpled Chin

A dimpled or “orange peel” chin is a frequent concern. Men often request smoothing without reducing projection. Treatments such as chin Botox relax the small muscles causing dimpling. This can be combined with dermal fillers if volume loss is present, creating a balanced masculine profile.

Nasal Lines (Bunny Lines)

Some men develop fine wrinkles along the nose when smiling or scrunching. Bunny lines can be treated subtly to smooth the mid face. While less common than forehead or eye areas, many men appreciate the refreshed look when these lines are reduced.

Neck and Platysmal Bands

Neck bands can become more noticeable with age. Treatments such as the Nefertiti neck lift target these bands to create a smoother transition between jaw and neck. Dr Snieguole Geige explains, “platysmal bands can be more prominent in men with athletic builds. Targeted treatment can make a significant difference.”

How Do Men’s Priorities Differ From Women’s?

Women often focus on lifting brows, enhancing lips or refining contours. Men usually prioritise forehead, frown and jawline treatments. Dr Giedre Narkiene comments, “men tend to prefer conservative changes. They value appearing less tired and more relaxed without obvious alteration.” For this reason, treatments such as lip flips are rare in men, but jawline and chin procedures are increasingly common.

Longevity of Results in Male Treatment Areas

Men’s stronger muscles mean that results in areas like the glabella and forehead may wear off sooner. Consistent treatment can help condition muscles, sometimes making results last longer over time. Related lifestyle influences such as exercise intensity and sun exposure may also impact longevity.

Complementary Treatments for Men

Many men combine Botox with other treatments for comprehensive results. Dermal fillers can restore lost volume, skin boosters improve hydration, and chemical peels can refine texture. Dr Rimas Geiga adds that “healthy lifestyle, nutrition and skincare are vital. Botox can reduce lines, but results look best when supported by skin and overall health.”

Legal and Ethical Considerations

Because Botox® is a prescription only medicine, UK law prohibits direct promotion. Lawyer Tautvydas Sutkus explains, “clinics must ensure content is factual and balanced, avoiding encouragement to undergo treatment. The focus must always be on education and safety.”

Conclusion

The most popular Botox areas for men include the forehead, glabella, crow’s feet, jawline, chin and occasionally the neck. Each requires a tailored approach that respects male anatomy and goals. At It’s Me & You Clinic in Kingston upon Thames, our philosophy is to help men achieve natural results that support confidence without compromising masculinity.
