The guy in the commercial looked like he was in his early 30's and was a handsome looking guy and literally didn't have any wrinkles and certainly didn't look like he needed Botox injections. He had that slight crease coming off the nose, which is normal and that's it. How do you Democratic guys feel knowing that Botox is targeting you on the Ari Melber Show and sending the message that even a great looking guy on a commercial needs Botox to freeze his face?

(51,626 posts)I get 32 needles in my scalp and hairline and neck every three months for over 20 migraine days a month and it has saved my life...In fact I had no life since I was in severe pain 24/7.
I do notice that the muscles in my forehead don't wrinkle at all since I started the procedures. Even if I try really hard to scrunch my forehead it stays frozen. It is strange.
Men are as vane as women are, just more secretive about it. Of course they want to look their best too. Look at all the male balding products out there. Men spend almost as much as women on cosmetic procedures now. There are implants for the chest, calves, chin, etc. Waxing and contouring treatments are also increasing among male clients.

As for looks, I'd much rather have wrinkles than that over-botoxed look. But I don't care if it helps with the migraines.

(3,335 posts)that is normal, unless you have botox to get rid of it. I was surprised how young the man in the commercial looked and why they were trying to market Botox to someone who look as youthful as he did. I know men are developing some of the same vanities that some woman have, but this guy certainly didn't need it. Although most of the women in commercial for skin care products rarely look like they need the product they're advertising. But I hate it when they show these women and actresses with these stone faces that don't move to try and convince the rest of us that we need this product.
If you need it for medical reasons that's a whole different ballgame. I'm glad that there is something available for your condition that brings you relief. It's when I see young girls are getting breast implants at age 16 and lip injections at 16 because they see the Kardashian girls promoting this crap to teenagers who already have a lot of insecurities so they inject crap into their face and their lips at 16 and by the time they're 20 and the fad changes, they look like someone much older because they've ruined their natural beauty and then need to keep doing more cosmetic treatments to try and regain what they think they've lost.
