Breakup Botox

Break-ups can turn your life upside down and be especially upsetting.

While some people find comfort in talking with friends, shopping, or indulging in desserts, others schedule an appointment at their dermatologist’s office for Botox.

Breakup Botox is the latest trend among newly-single men and women, who want to look and feel better post-breakup.

Here’s what you need to know about this treatment and why it’s an appealing way to mend a broken heart.

What Is Breakup Botox?

Dermatologists and plastic surgeons are noticing that an increasing number of patients requesting Botox injections following a break-up.

In fact, aesthetic experts report that approximately 15 percent of patients, including women and men, decide to undergo anti-aging treatments after parting ways with a significant other.

It’s not surprising the patients would seek solace in Botox, as it’s a safe, quick, and effective way to look more relaxed and youthful.

Plus, it requires zero downtime and provides visible results in just days, making it the perfect pick-me-up after suffering a breakup.

How Does Botox Work?

In less than the amount of time it would take to finish a pint of ice cream, individuals can have Botox in the comfort of their doctor’s office.

They can expect the treatment to last about 15 minutes, which includes numbing with ice or a topical anesthetic.

Next, Botox is administered as a series of precisely placed injections, using an ultra-fine needle.

Most patients find the process very comfortable and describe the sensation as light pin pricks and minor stinging. For many, this temporary discomfort pales in comparison to the stress of their breakup.

Why Are Patients Seeking Breakup Botox?

Many women decide to have breakup Botox because it makes them happy in the same way as retail therapy would.

They also revel in the compliments about their improved appearance and being told that they look well-rested and healthy.

Comparatively, men decide to undergo breakup Botox to make themselves more attractive to potential partners and increase their chances of success in the dating pool.
