Brotox in Virginia, Washington D.C. and Maryland.
At The Naderi Center, we’ve seen a dramatic increase in the number of men seeking cosmetic treatments — and leading the charge is Botox, now popularly dubbed “Brotox.” Once thought of as a treatment just for women, Botox has become a go-to solution for men looking to maintain a youthful, refreshed, and competitive appearance. Whether it’s to soften deep lines or project a more relaxed and confident look, men across all professions are embracing the benefits of this quick, non-surgical treatment.
Key Benefits of Brotox
Today’s men are taking a more proactive approach to aging and personal care. Brotox offers subtle enhancements that help you feel more like yourself, just better.
Look Rested Without the Downtime
Brotox relaxes the muscles responsible for deep-set lines, giving you a smoother, more alert appearance. There’s no need for time off or recovery, just a refreshed look that speaks for itself.
Project Confidence in Every Setting
A polished appearance helps you present yourself with more confidence in several situations, such as a sales presentation, a social encounter, or a spontaneous picture. Brotox provides refinement without altering your inherent facial characteristics.
Age on Your Terms
Brotox treatments help slow the formation of prominent wrinkles as people get older. It’s a low-maintenance way to stay ahead of aging and maintain strong facial definition.



What is Brotox
Brotox is simply Botox®, redefined for the modern man. It’s the same trusted, FDA-approved treatment, but applied with a customized approach to suit masculine facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. Brotox targets the dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions like frowning, squinting, and raising the eyebrows.
At The Naderi Center, Brotox is most commonly used to treat deep forehead lines, glabellar frown lines (the “11s”), and crow’s feet around the eyes. These are the areas where men often develop strong, etched-in wrinkles due to more active muscle movement. By relaxing the underlying muscles, Botox® for men smooths the skin for a cleaner, more composed look, without altering your natural expressions.
Brotox is effective as both a preventative and corrective treatment. Whether your goal is to maintain youthful skin or subtly turn back the clock, Brotox offers a non-surgical way to stay ahead of aging.
Good Candidates for Brotox
- Men with visible frown lines, forehead wrinkles, or crow’s feet caused by facial expressions
- Those seeking a refreshed appearance without surgery or downtime
- Individuals who want to soften signs of aging while maintaining natural facial movement
- Men experiencing facial tension or headaches from overactive muscles (e.g. in the forehead or jaw)
- Healthy adults with realistic expectations and no history of neuromuscular conditions

Considerations about Brotox
How many units of Brotox are used?
Where is my Brotox injected?

Brotox Units
The number of Botox units required for men is typically higher than what’s used for women, due to stronger facial muscles. For example, treating glabellar lines often requires 20–30 units, the forehead may need 10–20 units, and crow’s feet can require 12–24 units (6–12 units per side). For jawline slimming or treating masseter muscles, it’s common to inject 25–40 units per side. At The Naderi Center, we tailor every treatment plan to the individual’s anatomy, goals, and natural facial movement.
Areas Treated by Brotox
Men tend to develop deeper, more etched-in wrinkles than women due to stronger facial muscles and less frequent use of skincare. The most common areas treated with Brotox include the glabellar lines (the “11s” between the eyebrows), horizontal forehead lines, and crow’s feet around the eyes. Other popular treatment areas include the jawline to reduce teeth grinding, the neck for tightening, and even the underarms to combat excessive sweating. With a few precisely placed injections, our team helps male patients look more energetic and approachable without looking “frozen” or overdone.

- Let us know if you’ve had any recent cosmetic procedures or illnesses.
The Day of Treatment
- Eat a light meal and stay well-hydrated before your appointment to avoid feeling lightheaded during injections.

Immediately After Brotox
- Avoid touching, rubbing, or massaging the treated areas to prevent product migration.

- Refrain from scheduling facials or laser treatments on the treated areas.
- Monitor your results and note any questions for your follow-up.
Short Recovery After Brotox
One of the biggest advantages of Botox® for men is how little it disrupts your routine. Most men return to work or daily life immediately after their appointment, with no downtime, no bandages, and no major restrictions. While results take a few days to develop, the recovery itself is smooth, subtle, and easy to manage.
Here’s what makes Brotox recovery so straightforward:
- Minor redness or swelling typically resolves within a few hours
- Discomfort is minimal and usually doesn’t require medication. If needed, consult with our specialists
-
You can resume most normal activities the same day, with only a few precautions
