Top Wanted And Most Rewarded Cosmetic Procedures For Men

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]It’s an irrefutable fact that more men are getting cosmetic procedures. Unlike yesteryear’s, non-surgical procedures are much in demand not only because they give iimediate results sans the anesthetic risks but also because the social stigma about it has toned down and hence ,more men than ever are refusing signs of aging with which theyarent much pleased. The overall trend regardless of gender is toward more non-surgical cosmetic procedures, and this is likely associated with societal destigmatization. Injectables, lasers, rejuvenation therapies and other nonsurgical procedures are increasingly being used by men to help ward off the fine lines, wrinkles, volume loss and stubborn fat pockets associated with age, lifestyle, gravity and genetics.
So let’s take a peek at the most popular nonsurgical procedures that male patients are opting for :

Botox (or Dysport)

More men are getting Botox than ever before, as many feel that maintaining a youthful appearance helps them gain a competitive edge in the workplace as well as to have that poise and tenacity in social media world. Botox injections (onabotulinum toxin A) other than relieving the migraine and treating excessive sweaty palms, offer up quick, in-office answers to the unwanted wrinkles and lines that can give off the appearance of tired look , age, exhaustion, anger and sadness. Botox which temporarily prevents a muscle from being hyperactive ,can smooth a furrowed brow or iron out an ever deepening groove between the eyebrows. By blocking the nerve signal, Botox keeps the muscles involved in any repetitive facial expressions at bay, temporarily banishing the offending furrow/groove. Botox can also help treat overactive sweat glands on palm, soles, underarms as well as scalp,also migraine& jaw-clenching. A turkey wrinkled neck gives a creepy feel to women and men both, but it’s especially much bothersome to guys because it can give heavier and wider appearance.

Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Fillers:

The popularity of hyaluronic acid fillers, continues to rise. Hyaluronic acid a natural substance which has the unique ability to attract, absorb and retain moisture, other than acting as a lubricant and a shock absorber in joints, is also present in skin layers, cartilages and eyes . Men have a more prominent supraorbital rim, a larger forehead, and flatter cheeks that are more angular and hence Men have twigged to the fact that injectable fillers are an effective way to fill age-related lines and folds around the mouth and eyes, and to replace lost volume in the lips, cheeks, jawline and even hands and neck. For guys with a naturally weak chin, an augmentation can change the contour and size of the chin as well as the defined jawline for a more masculine facial structure.

Nonsurgical Fat Reduction:

Even the most disciplined and passionate Gym-lover will typically have little pockets of fat they just can’t budge despite repeated weight trainings and workouts. With the latest advancements in body contouring technology, there are options out there to remove fat and sculpt muscle like, CoolScuplting, Em Sculpt, Exilis, Thermage, Ultherapy to name a few . These noninvasive body contouring treatments use heat (ultrasound,radiofrequency) or cold (cryolipolysis) therapy to damage the fat cells without injuring the top layer of skin. It’s an effective, noninvasive and in-office treatment to reduce gym-resistant fat that might be lingering on the belly, hips, butt and thighs,arms and even on the chin and jawline. Also the Huge ‘ LOVE HANDLES ‘ in Men, which are not so loved, can be reduced, thanks to the non surgical devices. The double chin is a big area of concern for many male patients. A new therapy which is doing rounds is the fat dissolving/lipolytic injections which are especially approved for double chin area.
