Dermal Fillers for Men

The stereotype that cosmetic procedures are supposed to be done on women alone is quickly melting as men have proved that they also fit in the aesthetic world of Plastic Surgery. This is because they also want to look as they feel which is younger, smoother, softer, and more refreshed.

Dermal fillers are soft tissue injections that help fill in facial wrinkles thus restoring a smoother appearance. They are ideal for replacing lost volume and can be used by men for various cosmetic purposes such as treatment of:

• Frown lines
• Nasolabial lines (deep smile lines at the side of the mouth)
• Marionette line (lines from the mouth to the chin)
• Deep hollows under the eyes
• Shaping the jawline and chin

A dermal filler treatment is a quick and easy process that usually takes about 30 minutes, depending on the treatment area or areas. Dermal filler treatments not only restore and enhance your facial contours but can also take years off your appearance while resulting in a very natural look that no one will notice that you had work done. No anesthesia is necessary as the treatment is virtually painless.

Other additional benefits of dermal fillers for men include:

• Immediate results. Dermal fillers offer an immediate improvement on appearance hence you can expect to look better right away. Although, for the first few days following the treatment the treated area may look swollen or overfilled but this resolves quickly as the filler settles in. The results continue to improve as the days go by, and if the first treatment failed to hit the desired mark, an additional filler can be applied.
• Minimal discomfort. Facial rejuvenation with dermal fillers for men is not painful thus no anesthesia is needed. However, if you have a low tolerance for pain, a topical numbing cream can be applied to the treatment area to make you comfortable. The treatment area can remain tender for a few days but this can easily be managed by over-the-counter pain relievers.
• Minimal to no restrictions. There are no limitations required on activities after dermal fillers for men's treatment. However, strenuous exercises are not recommended for the first 24-48 hours following an injection session. This allows for the filler to settle and the treatment area to heal.
• Quick recovery. The recovery time for dermal filler treatment usually depends on the individual, the target area, and the extent of the treatment area. For some men, however, the recovery can take a maximum of two days while for other men there is usually no downtime, and they can go back to work immediately after the treatment.
• Few side effects. Dermal fillers are FDA approved treatments for volume restoration and smoothing facial lines that come with aging. However, there is quite a small chance that side effects such as bruising, redness, and tenderness can occur, but these usually resolve quite quickly. It is quite rare to experience serious side effects with dermal fillers when it is being injected by an experienced injector or a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon.

Benefits of Ultherapy

Tired of having sagging skin on your brow, chin, or neck? Perhaps even lines or wrinkles on your décolletage which cause you to have discomfort on your chest area appearance. Most of these signs come with aging and although they can’t be prevented, their appearance can be improved. Ultherapy is a non-invasive treatment that is designed to lift, tighten, and tone sagging skin around the eyes, on the face, neck, and chest.

Ultherapy works by delivering high-intensity ultrasound energy heat deep into the skin. The heat prompts the body to naturally produce more collagen while helping the existing collagen to contract. This results in an improved appearance of the fine lines, wrinkles, skin laxity, and a visible lift.

This treatment is ideal for individuals who have the desire to improve their facial appearance through rejuvenation but are not ready for a facelift yet or they want to avoid any surgical treatment. Sometimes, one Ultherapy treatment session is enough to deliver the desired results, some individuals may require about two or more sessions spaced six weeks apart for their optimal results to be ready.

Ultherapy can be combined with other treatments for more comprehensive results.

Individuals who opt for Ultherapy treatment can look forward to the following benefits:

• Non-invasive skin tightening. Ultherapy is currently the only FDA approved non-surgical skin tightening technique. It uses ultrasound energy to bypass the surface of the skin and deliver precise amounts deep into the skin. It provides a significant improvement in sagging skin without causing any trauma as no needles or incisions are required.
• Customizable. Ultherapy can be tailor-made to meet your needs and desired results with the Plastic Surgeon precisely targeting the exact areas of treatment thanks to the ultrasound imaging which provides a visual of the lower layers of the skin.
• Natural skin lifting and tightening effects. There are no foreign additives added during the treatment and collagen in your skin is prompted to contract naturally and its production is also enhanced resulting in a lifted and firm skin.
• Safe and with few side effects. Ultherapy is the only treatment that is cleared by the FDA to lift skin on the chin, neck, and eyebrows hence, you can undergo the treatment with peace of mind.
• No downtime. Immediately after the treatment, the skin may look red and flushed but most clients resume their usual schedule right after the procedure. The side effects which can occur but most do not, are usually mild and subside within a week.
• Natural-looking and long-lasting results. The results of Ultherapy treatment start becoming apparent within a month following the procedure. Although your appearance will improve, there is usually no dramatic reveal that you’ve had something done thus the natural-looking results. The final results show within three to six months after the treatment and they last for about two years.

Ultherapy is technique dependent as with the other rejuvenating treatments. That is why it is important to choose an expert who is conversant with the procedure to have the best possible results.
