Trending: “Protox” (Botox for Professionals!)
Botox was first thought of as a purely cosmetic treatment. However, recently an increasing number of professionals are resorting to Botox injections for the antiaging benefits that can help them stay competitive in their careers. From sales, to law, to sports and politics, statistics show that looking younger gives employees a substantial workplace advantage.
Botox for professionals – which is often humorously referred to as “Protox” – has been proven time and again to have many advantages on the job, that cannot be overlooked.
Botox to Look Younger in the Workplace
Botox is becoming more and more popular among successful business professionals across a broad range of professions, due to the increasing need to seem youthful and energetic in the workplace. Many employers are looking for younger workers because they are perceived as being more “in touch” with the coveted youth market – as well as more comfortable with new technologies
Historically, women have accounted for the vast majority of Botox users. Recent, however, the number of males who use Botox has risen dramatically in recent years, owing in large part to increasing competition in the workplace.
Now men and women are resorting to Botox and other cosmetic treatments – such as dermal fillers and PRP facials – to remove a decade or more from their appearance in order to stay competitive in the job market.
Botox to Look More Attractive in the Workplace
While being evaluated on appearances rather than ability has long been a problem for women in the workplace, the beauty standard is increasingly being applied to males as well, which is contributing to a rise in the use of Botox among men.
Smithsonian Magazine revealed recently that men considered “handsome” earn on average 13 percent more throughout their careers than a man who is perceived as “looks-challenged” in the same job. That article also noted that so-called “hot” quarterbacks make 12 percent more than quarterbacks who are considered to look more “homely.”
They went on to note that individuals who are visually appealing are more likely to be hired than their lesser attractive counterparts. As a result, many people who are trying to get hired and/or advance in their careers are investing in Botox and other appearance-enhancing cosmetic treatments.
Additionally, as a result of the proliferation of the Internet, almost every professional appears on social media, company websites, and networking applications such as LinkedIn. Everyone from CEOs, doctors and attorneys, to IT professionals, insurance agents and administrators must now be prepared to have their photographs taken at all times for their websites, as well as for their LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook profiles.
And, thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, almost every business professional is now also engaging in Zoom meetings – where everyone is seeing each other “up close and personal” on their computer screens. So, many office workers are turning to Botox to help improve their appearance in online meetings, as well.
Botox to Look Friendlier at Work
Another unexpected category of individuals who are resorting to Botox is professionals who not only want to minimize wrinkles, but who also want to seem nicer and friendlier in their appearance.
Attorneys, psychologists, legislators, politicians, teachers, and even law enforcement officers work in fields where appearing hostile, angry, unfriendly or disapproving may have a detrimental influence on their ability to do their jobs effectively. Deep lines between the brows not only make a person seem older, but they may also cause them to appear perpetually unpleasant, judgmental, harsh, or anxious – even when they aren’t! And this is definitely not “good for business” in many professions!
By relaxing the muscles in the forehead, Botox may help to eliminate the appearance of persistent “scowling” – making a person appear friendlier and more approachable when they do their job.
