When it comes to skin care, Men have traditionally kept it simple. However, more Men are now pursuing healthier, younger-looking skin, making it a great time for Men to evaluate their skin care routine. Although there are key differences between men and women’s skin — for example, men’s skin is thicker than women’s — a consistent and healthy skincare routine is something that men and women can both benefit from. Whether you have dry or oily skin, a regular skincare routine is a must for keeping your skin healthy and vibrant. Once establishing a skincare routine that you stick to each day, you can incorporate other products and treatments that target specific skin concerns.
Here is what we recommend men use to improve skin health and appearance.
Botox
Botox is used to help reduce the appearance of types of dynamic wrinkles. Dynamic wrinkles are creases that have been worn into the skin by making the same expression many times. Botox is effective at softening unwanted fine lines + wrinkles, creating a smoother appearance, as well as preventing new wrinkles from forming.
Jawline Contouring/Double Chin
Jawline Contouring is a non-invasive procedure that reshapes the jawline for a more chiseled, sharpened look. Jawline contouring is achieved by using Dermal Filler. These fillers are injected in and around the jawline to create the desired shape. Carefully placed dermal fillers in the jaw and chin can increase projection of the jawline to give a more structured and sharp appearance.
Deoxycholic acid injection is used to improve the appearance of moderate to severe submental fat (double chin). Deoxycholic acid is a bile salt naturally produced by your body to help absorb fat. It can be artificially made to mimic the naturally occurring substance. The synthetic form can be injected to target excess fat under the chin to improve the profile.
These procedures can be combined for the best results depending on each individual’s needs.
Hair Restoration
Hair restoration can be effective in treating male pattern baldness, both in preventing hair loss and promoting new hair growth. It can also aid in the stimulation of hair growth after hair transplants.
