BROTOX- as defined by Urban Dictionary, “botox when used on a male, usually something he doesn’t want you to know about.”
Brotox may be a corny term, but corniness aside, treatments such as Botox, Dysport, and the newest competitor, Xeomin, are gaining popularity among men. Vanity isn’t just for the ladies anymore! Men are looking for ways to preserve their youthful apperance as well.
According to a report featured on Good Morning America (By SUZANNE YEO), gifting Botox for men was all the rage for the holidays. According to the report, “Last year, more than 300,000 men got Botox… That is a 10% increase from the previous year.” It would seem that men aren’t trying to go for a fully frozen look, but rather something more subtle. A Miami area plastic surgeon interviewed in the piece says the trend among men is to “soften up this look to just give a more approachable appearance.”
So the next time you notice that distinguished gentleman next to you, you’ll never know if he’s just aging gracefully, or if he had a little help from the tox!!

Move over Botox and Dysport, here comes some competition! Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA) was recently approved by the FDA for cosmetic use. Xeomin has been widely used in the past to treat cervical dystonia and blepharospasm. With the recent FDA approval it can now be used to treat frown lines. Xeomin is manufactured by Merz Aesthetics, the same company that manufactures Radiesse dermal filler. Xeomin doesn’t contain the same complex proteins as its competitors, which could potentially decrease the risk of certain side effects.

Dysport, approved by the FDA in 2009, has been widely used in other countries for years. And in the U.S., it is quickly catching up to it’s competitor in popularity. In fact, a report published in the Los Angeles Times (Botox face-off: Choice of toxin may matter (at least for crow’s feet), June 21, 2011) says people prefer Dysport over Botox for the treatment of crows feet wrinkles.
According to the report, researchers conducted a “randomized, double-blind” study in which subjects were treated with Dysport on one side of the face and Botox on the other. Researchers found that after 30 days “two-thirds of the patients said they preferred the Dysport side of their face.”

Dr. Lupton is the first in San Diego to offer this all-natural dermal filler. During the treatment, Dr. Lupton removes a small volume of blood to isolate the platelet-rich fibrin matrix which is then injected into your skin.

 When it comes to lotions and potions, it seems like the face and the neck get all the attention. What about the hands??!! The hands can be a very telling sign of age, so it would only seem logical to have a product specific to the hands. Introducing Lumiquin!! Lumiquin is rich in Quinic Acid Esters which are powerful antioxidants that inhibit stress-related signs of aging. It also contains several other natural ingredients, like a pure form of licorice extract, that aid in reducing the appearance of dark spots. Benefits of Lumiquin also include:
* A volumizing and filling effect to minimize the appearance of veins
*Supports skin’s natural barrier against environmental stressors
*Enhances skin’s moisture level so hands look softer and smoother
Although it’s effective on it’s own, pair Lumiquin with QS Alexandrite laser treatment for a dramatic result!
