I tried ‘Brotox' for the first time before I turned 40
Last month, just over a year before my 40th birthday, I had a conversation that forced me to take a long, hard, close-up look in the mirror. I was at an event, speaking to someone who was probably about a decade younger than myself, when I spotted a small sample of fabric displayed nearby – a shimmery, gold lamé-type material. I commented that, back in my early twenties as I was graduating from uni, I had a much-prized 'going out out' bomber jacket from French Connection which was cut from a very similar cloth. 'Oh, was that in the 1990s?', my interlocutor innocently responded. It was 2008. As with any landmark birthday ending with a zero, certain questions arise in the build-up to the big day. On the approach to 40, most of mine had already been about what I want the impending decade to look like when it comes to my personal health. After my first twinges of back pain, I had already made a concerted effort to spend more time in the gym strength training. However, the realisation that, in someone's eyes, I was reading at least a decade older than I was added a whole new aesthetic dimension to my thoughts. If I was already trying to stave off certain physiological problems that I could predict before they got too serious, shouldn't I also be trying to do the same with the lines on my face? It appears that many men are facing the future with the same thought. According to a recent survey by the British College of Aesthetic Medicine, there has been a 70 per cent increase in the number of men having aesthetic treatments since 2021. Now, in 2024, men make up a full 16 per cent of the market – and, at least according to our search histories, there's one of the procedures that's piquing male interest more than most: Botox. The Harley Street Skin Clinic in London has reported that searches for ' Botox for males ' surged by 3300 per cent from January to September 2024 and Google Trends reported a 130 per cent increase in searches for 'male Botox before and after' over the past year. Much like Kleenex or Hoover, Botox is a brand name that has become a generic byword for Botulinum Toxin – a neuromodulating substance that, when injected into the body, results in temporary localised muscle relaxation by blocking the neurotransmitter release that cause muscle contraction. While it can be used across the body from preventing sweating in your armpits to assisting in the healing of anal fissures, its most widespread usage is in cosmetically treating wrinkles on the face. Curiosity has also no doubt been driven by an ever-more open conversation about men's aesthetic treatments. Far from something done in secret, men in the public eye are now more willing to share what they've had done. Comedian Jimmy Carr was recently on the pages of this very paper talking about his penchant for Botox in his fifties. American singer Joe Jonas has not only been very open about his use of anti-ageing injectables, but also appeared in an ad for Xeomin (another brand of Botulinum Toxin) – making him, quite literally, the face of the brand. And, frankly, what a face. 'I started Xeomin when I noticed I was starting to see more frown lines,' he told GQ in 2022 – then aged 33. 'We can be open and honest about it, be confident, and not really shy away from speaking our truth.' With that in mind, I made an appointment with Dr Wassim Taktouk, one of the UK's most in-demand aesthetic practitioners and owner of the sleek Taktouk Clinic in London's Knightbridge, to give the procedure a go for myself. On the day 'When I first started out, I'd have a husband or boyfriend of a woman having a procedure who might ask a question during their appointment, and many months later book in with me,' says Dr Taktouk. Previously an A&E GP, he switched to aesthetics around 14 years ago, during which time he's seen a marked increase in male patients. 'Now men are being far more proactive, researching treatments and booking themselves in. Today, I'd say about 30 per cent of our patients are men.' With salt and pepper hair, blemish-less skin and a chiseled jawline, Dr Taktouk – dressed in own-branded burgundy scrubs and co-ordinating Nike Air Force Ones – has one of those intimidatingly handsome faces that fills you with assurance that he knows what makes a man look good. As we begin our consultation, he asks my current skincare routine (daily moisturiser and SPF with a splash of serum or exfoliating toner a couple of times a week) and what my current facial concerns might be. I tell him the horizontal frown lines on my forehead and the vertical lines between my eyebrows. 'It's not an SOS moment,' Dr Taktouk says warmly, after taking a closer look. He explains that I'm doing this at exactly the right time in my late 30s, before the wrinkles have become deep-set. 'You're very young. I think that within one or two treatments we can get rid of all those lines. What we need to do is reduce the ability to frown.' He explains that, to do this, he will inject neuromodulators (in this case, Botulinum Toxin A) into the procerus and corrugator muscles between my eyebrows and at certain points along my frown lines in the frontalis muscle on my forehead. He asks what sort of effect I'd like to see on a scale of one to ten – ten being, in his words, 'a complete freeze-out' – and I say around a three. He asks me to perform a series of surprised, angry and joy-filled expressions, paying close attention to how my face moves and what wrinkles they cause. 'You're able to raise your right eyebrow independently from your left which I'm very jealous of – I've always wanted to be able to do that,' he smiles. 'I'm going to keep the dosage light on your forehead muscles so you can still do that.' After getting me to frown while holding a hand mirror and marking up my face with his battle plan in white pencil, I feel nine delicate pinprick injections in my forehead and three between my eyebrows. The whole process takes around five minutes, but he informs me that the results could last anywhere from three to four months – and they should start to kick in anywhere from five days to two weeks after this session. The results The most immediate result were the bumps from the injections on my forehead, for which I'd wished I'd bought a baseball cap – but these disappeared in the 20 minutes between the end of my appointment and the walk to the Tube. Over the next few mornings, I woke up and immediately tried to pull every facial expression I had pulled in Dr Taktouk's hand mirror – which, duly, I became less and less able to do. By day three, I really had to concentrate to be able to scrunch my brow downwards. By day five, I could still raise my eyebrows in surprise or frown, but visibly these expressions barely activated the vertical lines between my eyebrows. As I tipped over a week, the lines on my forehead and between my eyebrows, while still there, were beginning to fade – shadows of their former selves that I could only detect under intense scrutiny with a light source at the right angle. Perhaps the most intriguing part of the experience is the sensation of not being able to make your brain connect with certain parts of your face – something I can only describe as a similar sensation to having a limb going to sleep after laying on it, but without the pins and needles sensation that usually goes with (rather ironically, considering the source of this newfound numbness). I could still feel the areas around the injections, of course, but there was a certain fuzziness to them. And, as I got more used to seeing a face free(er) from winkles, that fuzzy feeling felt shockingly comforting – a physical manifestation of feeling like I'd done something positive to safeguard my skin. Looking in the mirror, I felt like the face looking back at me was more relaxed, more rested, with fewer of life's concerns etched into it. Did Dr Taktouk make me look like Joe Jonas? Of course not. Do I feel like a more confident, more future-proof version of myself? Absolutely. Will I be going back when I turn the big 4-0? That gets a gently knowing eyebrow raise from me.

Social media's growing influence on skincare trends among young people
Skincare has become exponentially popular, with the idea of a perfect face being coveted by many, particularly among the younger generation. According to a 2019 CNN article , with the advancement in technology and medical procedures, treatments are not only cheaper but less invasive and less painful recovery time. People would wait until their skin needed the treatment, but now with these advancements, people are starting treatments in their twenties. According to the Economist , ' Cosmetic 'enhancement' is no longer frowned upon—and not because customers have had their capacity to frown surgically removed. Cosmetic treatments have become almost commonplace, thanks to changing social attitudes and pressures and, above all, to technical innovation that is now starting to fulfill its potential.' The accessibility to products, the field of dermatology, and marketing strategies through social media have taken off to show quick results to draw patients in. Recently, there have been many advancements in technology in regards to medical treatments of dermatology. In the ABC News , these include lasers, Botox, red lights, and chemical peels. Predictably by human nature, the more methods to remain youthful, the demand to receive these treatments increases. All of these beauty treatments are designed to give your skin a more youthful, glowing appearance. In the Beyond Botox article , Botox has been around for centuries since botulinum toxin was discovered in the 1820s. Botox injections are shots that use a toxin to prevent a muscle from moving for a limited time. These shots are often used to smooth wrinkles on the face. They're also used to treat neck spasms, sweating, overactive bladder, lazy eye, and other conditions. While Botox has the most brand recognition, other injections could help as well such as Dysport, Jeuveau, Xeomin, and Daxxify. These injections work by blocking nerve impulses to the muscles, which causes them to relax and soften expressions. On the other hand, red light therapy provides therapeutic benefits through external light energy. According to Red Light Therapy: Benefits, Side Effects And Uses , 'Red light therapy uses light energy primarily to aid in the healing of skin and muscular conditions, such as scarring and tendonitis. By exposing the body to low-wavelength red light (620 to 750 nanometers), it stimulates increased energy production in cells, leading to various health benefits.' Stated in Forbes , Red light therapy is used in treatments like tanning beds and masks. It has transformed tanning beds by offering a safer alternative, providing full-body exposure to red light rather than just targeted sections. Red light masks, on the other hand, allow users to enjoy the benefits of red light therapy at home, gaining popularity for their convenience and the ability to avoid visits to a skincare specialist. Another beneficial treatment is chemical peels. These peels with advanced chemicals stimulate the shedding of skin cells to peel off to make way for new skin cells. Based on NIH research , chemical Peels use exfoliants such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs, such as glycolic acid and lactic acid) and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs, such as salicylic acid) to cause the outer layers of the skin to exfoliate and eventually peel off. This process aids in reducing the appearance of scars, wrinkles, and texture. Ofte, these peels come with pain as the skin is sensitive during the healing process, but this leads to great results. Social media has catalyzed an increase in the interest of consumers through various brand endorsements on a plethora of platforms. In Gen Alpha takes over skin care social media scene, but are they too young? 'Tweens have taken to social media to share their make-up and skincare routines, often referred to as 'Get Ready With Me' videos, showcasing their favorite products'. Social media has amplified consumer interest, especially through brand endorsements on platforms like Instagram and TikTok. Gen Alpha, in particular, has embraced skincare trends, with videos like 'Get Ready With Me' showcasing makeup and skincare routines. Children and teens are often influenced by peers who share skincare routines, product reviews, and brand promotions. According to Social Media in Dermatology and an Overview of Popular Social Media Platforms , 'A significant number of Instagram posts are promotional or advertising. Before-and-after photos and advertisements for cosmetic procedures' are common. Seeing these photos increases consumer interest, as viewers often seek similar results. Based on dermatology research , on TikTok, dermatology-related content is growing, with the hashtag #acne accumulating 4.5 billion views and #acnetreatment reaching 633.8 million views. TikTok provides a platform where creators and viewers with similar skin concerns, such as acne, can connect, share experiences, and find comfort in relatable content. In 2018 the skincare industry started to create more revenue than the makeup industry, and many people started to turn toward more natural products. With the evolving knowledge and research being done, consumers are learning more about harmful ingredients, how products are made, and what the long-term effects are. There has been a growth in skin care products, even the combination of makeup and skincare combined into a product. According to a CNN article , Summer Fridays, a brand co-founded by Instagram influencers Marianna Hewitt and Lauren Gores Ireland, launched in 2018 with just one product: a face mask. Relying solely on their social media presence and spending no money on marketing, the mask quickly became the best-selling skincare product on selling out repeatedly in less than two weeks. This trend reflects the growing influence of platforms like TikTok, where users constantly encounter brand promotions and influencer recommendations on their For You Page. With the rise of video content, easy access to information, and input from real doctors and dermatologists, consumers are increasingly discovering and experimenting with new products Related
