A generation ago, it may have been excusable to think of aesthetic procedures as feminine. Plastic surgery procedures like breast enhancements and tummy tucks were largely chosen by women, and minimally invasive procedures including dermabrasion and chemical peels also showed a decided tilt toward a feminine audience.
Since the start of the century though, there’s been a remarkable increase in the number of men pursuing cosmetic treatments, nearly 30% more by 2018, over 1.3 million individuals. A big reason for this may be the introduction of Botox® for cosmetic use in 2002, as well as the growing popularity of dermal fillers. Other products and technologies followed, and the gender lines between aesthetic services continue to blur.
It’s no surprise to the team at Best Impression Med Spa in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania. They offer up four cosmetic services that remain popular with their male clients. If you’re looking for discreet improvements for your appearance, consider these procedures.
NeoGraft® delivers automation-assisted hair transplantation, while Kybella® provides a way of treating under-chin fat stores. Botox removes muscle-related active lines and wrinkles, while the Juvéderm® line of dermal fillers handles passive lines and volume additions.
The product that started the demand for injectable treatments, Botox uses a purified and diluted form of neurotoxin found in nature. When strategically injected, Botox relaxes certain expression muscles that become semi-permanently contracted over time, causing worry lines and crows’ feet. The relaxing action of the injections reduces the severity of these wrinkles, giving your face a younger and less stern appearance while maintaining your normal, natural expressions.
Some lines, wrinkles, and facial changes aren’t caused by muscles, but rather by the loss of and voids in the middle layers of your skin, home to collagen tissue. As skin loses elasticity, it reveals the changes in the layers below, creating an older appearance. Best Impression Med Spa uses Juvéderm facial fillers, gels manufactured from hyaluronic acid, a substance found throughout your body. Filler injections serve as a fine-tuning “paintbrush” to improve your appearance.
Toning your neck can be difficult, and as you get older, fat tends to collect under your chin, blurring formerly chiseled lines of the jaw. Kybella uses a synthetic version of a substance found in bile, deoxycholic acid, to literally dissolve fat cells in the submental area, under your chin and on your upper neck. Kybella injections can return youthful definition to your face.
Hair loss can be a challenge for some, and the painstaking nature of hair transplantation used to make the process laborious and unreliable. NeoGraft brings automation to follicular unit extraction (FUE) transplantation, reducing scarring while improving efficiency. There’s no longer any need to harvest hair follicles in long, linear strips.
Achieving a more youthful appearance without obvious signs of work is easier now than it’s ever been. Contact Best Impression Med Spa by phone or online to schedule a consultation to discuss your options. You may be surprised at how many there are.
