Why men are queuing up for ‘back to work’ Botox
The return to the office has seen a huge rise in men booking anti-ageing tweakments – from jawline fillers to tear trough reduction

Tucked away in a backstreet of Knightsbridge in London is the Taktouk Clinic, run by the 44-year-old ex A&E doctor Wassim Taktouk. Dr Taktouk has earned a reputation for subtly enhancing tweakments for men and women. Since opening his own clinic in April, he estimates 35 per cent of his clientele are now male – a rise from 20 per cent pre-lockdown. As many of his clients work in the City, he puts much of this rise down to the pressure to look well-rested ahead of a return to the office, where there may be fewer chances of promotion and the threat of redundancy post-pandemic.
