In a world where the pursuit of timeless beauty is often linked with women, a growing
number of men are recognizing the importance of their own aesthetic and anti-aging journey.
Embracing the concept that aging gracefully is not exclusive to femininity, modern men are
exploring a diverse range of aesthetic treatments to redefine and enhance their natural
features.
The Science Behind Men's Aging
Men and women undergo distinct aging processes, extending beyond the visible aspects.
Hormonal production, particularly androgen and testosterone, plays a crucial role in the
differences between male and female skin aging. Studies indicate that these hormones can
increase skin thickness by 25% on average in men compared to women (Tur, 1997; Keaney,
2016).
As men age, collagen reservoirs begin degrading earlier due to decreasing testosterone levels, while females maintain constant dermal thickness until their fifth decade (Tur, 1997; Keaney, 2016). Additionally, the decline of adrenal hormones (DHEA and DHEAS) with age in men is associated with increased susceptibility to oxidative stress and a decline in skin health (Tur, 1997). The reduction of subcutaneous fat as individuals age leads to more pronounced lines on men due to their thicker skin and more prominent facial muscles, in contrast to the surface-level rhytides that women commonly experience. This significant loss of volume tends to make men appear older relative to their age when compared to women.
Antiaging Preferences in Men
Men, generally more self-conscious about cosmetic procedures, often prefer subtle changes to avoid being noticed and questioned by others, especially if their professional roles involve
frequent social interactions. Men lean towards achieving results that are understated and
natural in appearance, aiming to avoid any semblance of feminization.
Rejuvenative Solutions Tailored for Men
Now, let's delve into each rejuvenative solution for men, understanding how these treatments cater to the unique needs of men's skin and contribute to their aesthetic and anti-aging journey:
In the midst of the excitement surrounding the Fotona 4D Lift, did you know there's an exclusive realm designed for men? This tailored approach delves into the intricacies of men's unique skin composition and aging processes. The treatment utilizes four unique steps, including the specially formulated SMOOTH mode, employing controlled heat to induce collagen remodeling (Gaspar, A et al, 2021). This enhances the skin's elasticity and lifts deeper tissues, yielding a sustained effect of neo-collagenesis (Lukac, M. et al, 2008). By focusing on the unique composition of men's skin, the treatment aims to address specific aging concerns, resulting in a revitalized and rejuvenated appearance. With this treatment, achieve improved elasticity, a lifted appearance, and a refreshed look.
2. BroTox
Breaking stereotypes, BroTox is a term coined for Botox treatments tailored specifically for
men. What makes it different from botox for women you asked? The key lies in customizing
all injections to meet the specific needs of each patient. Given that male patients generally
possess larger and more robust facial muscles, they often necessitate higher doses (Biello. A
et al, 2023).This procedure temporarily relaxes the muscles, smoothing out dynamic wrinkles
and preventing the formation of new ones. This treatment benefits particularly those who are
expressive, giving men a subtle enhancement while preserving their natural look (Sedgh. J,
2018).
Our dermal fillers, categorized as hyaluronic acid (Juvederm and Teosyal) and biostimulating (Radiesse) fillers, restore volume and structure to the face. Injectable hyaluronic acid fillers
strategically used in men's rejuvenation and restructuring to achieve a more masculine and youthful look. Lower face contouring is amongst the most favoured treatment for men. Typically, men desire a more chiseled and defined jawline, emphasizing angular features, while women desire a gentle, defined jawline that complements their facial features. To address these specific concerns, Juvederm Volux consistently exceeds the expectations of men. Additionally, men opt for biostimulating filler to combat wrinkles, fine lines, and texture deterioration with age.
4. Bioregeneratives
Bioregenerative treatments (Plinest, Rejuran) involve PN-HPT and PDRN that stimulate the skin's natural regenerative processes. In the context of men's anti-aging, bioregeneratives subtly improves skin quality, influencing attractiveness and the perception of age. These treatments typically involve the application of bioactive substances that stimulate collagen production, repair skin at the cellular level, enhance skin texture, and promote a more youthful complexion.
Pico laser treatments with our Fotona Starwalker PQX use advanced laser technology to create micro-tunnel injuries on the skin's surface, prompting the skin to initiate a healing response. This process leads to the production of new collagen and elastin, improving skin texture, tone, and elasticity. In the context of men's rejuvenation, this method stimulates collagen and elastin production, serving as a fundamental modality in anti-aging.
