20 May Dermal Fillers For Men

Whereas maintaining a youthful, healthy appearance was once thought of as a woman’s worry, nowadays men take pains to take care of their looks, too. Now more than ever, young men are seeking preventative treatments that slow signs of ageing and enhance signature male features. For mature men who are concerned about staying competitive at work or simply want to look like their youngest, healthiest and most attractive selves, dermal fillers are a minimally-invasive and almost instant solution.

UNIQUE CONSIDERATIONS FOR TREATING THE MALE FACE

Facial filler treatments for men and women share the same basic goals — to enhance the appearance of the face. For all patients, fillers are used to improve definition and contours, smooth lines and wrinkles and add volume where it is needed. However, there are some gender-specific factors to consider when approaching facial rejuvenation for men.

Most male patients desire a more subtly enhanced look than female patients. Although men share the wish to look their best, they do not want their results to look unnatural or excessively “done”. There are also key points of differentiation between male and female anatomy, as well as differences in aesthetic trends and preferences. For example, a strong and defined chin and jaw are considered classically handsome features. Male patients often choose to enhance these features, while female patients may want them softened if they are prominent.

HOW FACIAL FILLERS CAN CREATE A MORE ATTRACTIVE PROFILE FOR MEN

Dermal fillers are a safe and effective method for smoothing, lifting and accentuating areas of your face. When injected under the surface of your skin, they provide support to the underlying dermal structure to smooth away wrinkles and strengthen the contours of your facial features.

For male patients, dermal fillers are commonly used to:

• Minimise deep facial creases and superficial fine lines
• Add lift and volume to the midface
• Reduce the appearance of jowls
• Add projection and definition to a weak chin or jawline
• Improve the appearance of acne scars
• Add subtle volume to the tear troughs to reduce hollowing, dark circles and fine lines
• Enhance the shape of the nose to improve symmetry and facial proportions
