Less Work, More Play: ‘Brotox’, Hair Restoration, Jaw Enhancements and More To Get The Job Done.
Are you considering ways to maintain a fresh, youthful appearance? Many men are increasingly prioritising skincare and anti-ageing treatments. Over the past decade, laser resurfacing procedures for men have seen a remarkable rise, with the American Society of Plastic Surgeons reporting nearly a 500% increase. This surge reflects a growing trend among men to embrace advanced cosmetic solutions, such as laser treatments, to improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles, and boost overall skin health. These procedures are part of a broader movement where men are actively seeking minimally invasive options to enhance their appearance while maintaining a natural and confident look.
As we all well know, laser is simply scratching the surface of restorative skin therapy; from de-ageing to enhancing masculinity, men’s aesthetic treatments have not only gained in popularity but have also become more targeted in solution. Currently dealing with a grooming nightmare? Now there’s a treatment for that. From the seemingly non-solvable to those annoying everyday grooming gripes, men’s skin therapy is no longer a work in progress. Ready to get the job done?
Brotox For Beginners
The rise in men’s neurotoxin injectables (some love to call it ‘Brotox’) isn’t a new thing. However for those who haven’t yet felt the nip of the doctor’s needle in strategically placed areas to smooth fine lines and wrinkles, perhaps this is the refresh your face has been waiting for. Known for its subtly, careful positioning of neurotoxins relax expression lines so that constant movement of frowning is minimised. While popular with men in their middle years, this gold-standard de-ageing treatment is now more accepted – yes, it’s a vibe – with younger guys, who’ve taken on an early adopter attitude. The areas of focus? The forehead including the glabella lines that run between the brows. The sign of an expert injector is their ability to restore natural youth to the skin while also retaining the most masculine brow position. Food for thought.
Artfully Sculpted
It’s certainly an art-meets-science ethos when a skilful doctor sharpens the look of a jawline. The science is in the dermal volumiser that creates a more manly profile, yet it’s an art to get it looking perfectly defined. Think Superman’s Henry Cavil versus his animated version. The real life form looks well, natural not like a cartoon blockhead with hair. For this physical feat, dermal volumisers can redefine the jawline and chin. In other words, they can sharpen this area of the lower face, increasing its masculine appeal with cleverly placed volume. Jowls, that unfortunately develop with age, can also be tightened up so as to strengthen one’s profile. Threads or Radiofrequency Skin Tightening mean firming up this zone too so the result is sleek once more.
Hair There and Everywhere
A number of studies have reported that compared to their peers, balding men appear to look older and less physically attractive than non-balding guys. Of course that’s very much up to perception, however as they say ‘there’s no reality, only perception.’ While confidence is always the trump card, to regain hair, it’s a policy of treat over trick. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is well known as a facial treatment that imbibes skin with growth factors for regeneration. And when used on hair follicles this not only helps with regrowth of strong, healthy hair, but with prevention of hair loss too. The science is separation of blood using a centrifuge. Basically, once blood is extracted it goes through a split process which results in an end liquid with high concentrations of platelets, rich with growth factors. Now you have your own natural source of restoration for hair follicles. This is used to get blood circulation pumping properly once more through an intense liquid of PRP and growth factors. This helps create new healthy blood vessels to support your hair follicles and keep your hair growing and regrowing as it should. Turbo charge results by teaming up with treatments like carboxytherapy.
Leave Puberty in the Past
You’re well in your 30’s but those breakouts just keep ruining the mood. Very normal, especially for men, it’s annoying that acne isn’t just a teenage condition. Guy’s skin – with larger pores and more oil – is simply more prone to pimples thanks to biology. While your Mrs fusses over your spots, know that stellar treatments can improve not only the look of acne scarring but the actual intensity of the inflammation and breakouts. You need to get scheduled about treatments though and stay with them. From chemical peels (these exfoliate dead skin cells and unclog pores) to laser like Contact Yag, the aim is to treat the acne spot and any scarring that may have left a reminder of a nasty breakout. Pico-toning means any man’s skin – no matter tone or type – can be treated with this non-invasive laser. This bad boy (not really, it’s amazing) hones in on acne-causing bacteria while lowering inflammation. The takeaway? Better looking acne scars, faded pigmentation, and more even skin texture.
No More Razor Wars
The bane of many a man’s life is shaving. While it’s a chore in itself, the after effect is often an ingrown hair – or seven. Beard bumps have a rather long and complicated medical term – pseudofolliculitis barbae (PFB) – but essentially when a hair grows back into the skin and becomes trapped a PFB occurs. Curling inwards, while new skin cells grow over it, the now ingrown hair forms a bump. As you resist the urge to perform a little bathroom surgery – this goes for that pimple too – know that treating these PFB’s often requires laser or light therapy. This helps get that inflammation under control which means helping keep pain and potential scarring at bay. Treatments that help include Photo Dynamic Light (PDT) therapy as well as Laser Genesis. If you’re at that infection stage, always consult a doctor for an antiseptic cream and if you don’t want to sport a beard, laser hair removal is basically the problem solved.
Hard being a man? In some areas yes, but certainly not when it comes to your skin. Those splash and dash days are well over but the mystery of de-ageing and geared-up grooming treatments needn’t leave you in the dark. Be part of the upwards trend and stay sharp with the latest in handsome-making skin tech. We know you’re here for it, and so are we. Always.
