At FACEMED in Billericay we are seeing more and more male patients coming through our doors. Men are embracing cosmetic surgery and male aesthetics treatments to rejuvenate how they look and to treat the signs of ageing. The most popular aesthetic treatment we provide to men is anti-wrinkle injections or Botox. This is also the most popular treatment with female patients and globally around the world.
If you are new to anti-wrinkle injections it can be a daunting decision to decide to have this treatment, and it can feel even more daunting for men, as they may be concerned about how the treatment works and the results that they can expect.
What can men expect from anti-wrinkle injections?
Unfortunately we have all seen the results of aesthetic treatments that have been administered incorrectly and look unnatural. From shiny frozen looking foreheads to trout pouts and pillow faces; poorly administered aesthetics treatment can put people off deciding to take the plunge. What we don’t hear about as often are all the patients, men included, who have had treatment that doesn’t look obvious and looks completely natural. There are many men and women that you will come into contact with on a regular basis, who have aesthetic treatment that doesn’t look obvious, but has helped to give the patient a fresher look.
At FACEMED our nurse prescriber Monica has over 18 years experience in delivering anti-wrinkle injections for men. There are differences in the techniques that are used when delivering male anti-wrinkle injections compared with how women are injected. Men often have stronger frown muscles and thicker skin, and these differences need to be considered before Botox is injected.
A medical aesthetic practitioner who understands facial and muscle anatomy, and specifically the differences in how the male and female faces differ, will be better placed to perform male anti-wrinkle injections. Anti-wrinkle injections for men often allow for males to not lose their natural masculinity (unless they want to!). The results should make the male face look fresher, and more rejuvenated, without it being obvious that anti-wrinkle injections were used to create this new look.
What is an anti-wrinkle injection appointment like?
If you are a man who is considering anti-wrinkle injections you may be wondering what the treatment process is like before you make a decision to make an appointment. It is a straightforward procedure that doesn’t take too long to administer. Before we begin we take you through a thorough consultation and take before photos so we have something to refer back to once the treatment takes hold. The treatment itself consists of tiny targeted injections that are not painful, but feel like a short, sharp scratch as the needle goes in.
After treatment it takes up to two weeks for the anti-wrinkle injections to start working and deliver the results. At this stage we invite you back into the clinic so we can take your after pictures and make sure the treatment meets your satisfaction. Many male patients will report back that people have noticed they look well rested and fresher after having their anti-wrinkle injections, but people don’t associate this new look with having had anti-wrinkle injections.
If you would like to know more about how FACEMED can treat male patients with anti-wrinkle injections to rejuvenate how they look we would welcome you to make an appointment for a consultation so we can answer any of your questions and inform you of the type of results that you can expect from this treatment.
