Dr. Lee of Beverly Hills: Professionals in High-Stress Occupations May Rely on Botox for Fresh Look

NEW YORK, NY, September 06, 2012 (Press-News.org) Business Insider reports that professionals on Wall Street are turning to Botox to create a refreshed look amidst "turbulent economic conditions and [the] daily fight to keep their high stress jobs." Dr. Harrison Lee of Beverly Hills has seen an increasing number of men request the cosmetic procedure, which can ease lines caused by the stress that professionals often incur.

The article asserts that an approximate 363,000 men underwent Botox injections during the year 2011. This is up 8 percent from the number of men who received the procedure in 2010, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. This is a higher increase than that seen in women, as 5 percent more women sought out Botox injections in 2011 than 2010.

Dendy Engleman, a cosmetologist located in New York, comments that the male professionals on Wall Street is the clientele that is growing fastest in her practice. Although Botox injections are expensive (the article asserts that forehead injections run an average of $350 and eyebrow injections cost over $600), Dr. Engleman reports that men "become accustomed to the treatment once they see its youthful effects."

Dr. Lee has also noticed an uptick in men who are requesting Botox injections. A professional based in Beverly Hills, he provides this procedure to patients who are looking for a minimally invasive way to improve their appearance.

"I see more and more men wanting Botox treatments," asserts Dr. Lee of Beverly Hills. "The challenge for men is balance. Doing just enough to freshen their appearance while avoiding the frozen or deer in the headlights look. While women view lines on their faces as wrinkles, men's facial lines are what give them character. Botox properly placed and in the correct amount can provide a gentleman with a more youthful look without the appearance of having significant cosmetic procedures performed."

While the number of men undergoing Botox injections is rising, Dr. Engleman does mention that many men are afraid that people will find out they have had the procedure done, which prevents them from receiving the injections. Dr. Harrison Lee recognizes that there is still a stigma surrounding cosmetic procedures--particularly those performed on men--that he hopes will soon fade. Despite this paranoia, as the article refers to it, statistics prove that men are increasingly embracing Botox.
