Eliminate the signs of aging with Botox for Men.
Evita Med Spa in Tallahassee offers a wide range of treatments, including Botox for men, as well as Dysport, Xeomin, and Jeuveau. These are simple, quick treatments that inhibit the contraction of the muscles in and around the areas of concern, resulting in smooth, diminished lines and preventing new ones.
Many think this treatment is just for women – but over the last decade, Botox for men has been growing in popularity. Men most commonly opt for Botox to smooth the lines that form between your eyebrows, known as “11 lines”, as well as the wrinkles that form in the outer corner of your eyes, known as “crow’s feet” or “laugh lines.”
We’re here to break barriers and help you do the same, including breaking the stigma surrounding Botox for men. Everyone deserves to feel good about their appearance!

FAQ’s
What is the downtime? Can I go back to work after my treatment?
Treatment requires minimal downtime, so you can return to your daily routine immediately after you leave our office.
When will I see results?
In general, the effects of Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, and Jeuveau begin to appear in one to three days, peak in one to four weeks, and gradually decline after three to four months.
How long do results last?
Typically, you can expect results to last 3–4 months.
What if I don’t get Botox or Dysport every 3 months?
If you choose to not continue Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, and Jeuveau injections, without treatment, your muscles will continue to contract and potentially result in lines as before you started treatment.
How does the medication actually work?
Botox is a neuromuscular blocking agent, which means it causes paralysis of the injected muscle by preventing the release of acetylcholine from motor nerve terminals. The muscle strengthens again as the nerves regenerate.
Does it hurt?
The needle is extremely small, so it feels like nothing more than a pin prick. Other than the injection itself, the procedure is painless.
Are there any other side effects I should know about?
Side effects are usually mild and transient and most commonly include swelling or bruising at the injection site, mild headache, or flu-like symptoms. Undesired impairment of muscle function may also occur but is usually associated with poor injection technique or inappropriate patient selection. Because smaller doses are less likely to cause unintended adverse effects, a conservative approach to treatment is advisable.
Will my face look undone or unnatural?
When injected in the correct amounts by the right medical provider, Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, and Jeuveau injections can result in a subtle appearance that only you will notice. But beware, everyone might comment on your improved appearance, they just might not be able to pinpoint the cause.
When should I start getting Botox?
We say that as soon as you start seeing the wrinkles at rest — when you’re not animating — it’s time to consider Botox.
What’s the difference between Botox and Dysport?
Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, and Jeuveau are purified proteins that effectively block muscle contraction, although each has slight differences in their molecular makeup. Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, and Jeuveau accomplish the same goal, so it’s really just a matter of what you prefer.
I’m pregnant or breastfeeding. Can I be treated with Botox and Dysport?
Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, and Jeuveau injections should not be used in pregnancy or when breastfeeding.
