According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the number of men seeking cosmetic procedures such as Botox has increased by over 300% since 2000. This change comes about as cosmetic dermatology procedures become more and more safe, effective, and technologically advanced, with many procedures requiring minimal to no downtime. This lack of downtime is essential for many men, who do not want to take time off of work to recover from a procedure. In addition, in today’s economy, many men feel that looking younger and heartier gives them an edge in the workforce that they need to stay on top of their game and keep their positions. At Ava MD, our dermatologists offer all of the latest cosmetic procedures to help men subtly smooth their wrinkles, reduce sun damage, strengthen their jawlines, and more.
Why Men Are Choosing Botox and Fillers
Botox is a neuromodulator that is great for reducing the appearance of expression lines in the face, including forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet. In the past, some people were hesitant to have Botox due to fears that it would freeze their muscles so that they couldn’t make normal expressions; however, nowadays, that fear is largely unfounded. A skilled dermatologist, such as those at Ava MD, have enough knowledge of facial anatomy as well as of Botox itself to be able to inject so precisely that everyday expressions are not affected. For men, this is important, as they do not want to look as though they have had work done. Many men also prefer to leave some wrinkles, preferring a subtle reduction to a drastic change.
Fillers, on the other hand, can be used to strengthen the appearance of the jawline as well as the chin. Men wanting a more masculine jaw or a more prominent chin can turn to dermal fillers, such as Voluma, for a subtle yet noticeable effect. Dermal fillers often provide instant effects with no downtime, making them a popular choice among busy men and women who don’t want to wait for the results or take time off work.
Laser Procedures for Men
Cosmetic lasers are some of the fastest-growing technologies in the field of dermatology. Newer and more effective laser technologies are constantly appearing. Lasers can treat a large number of skin conditions that both men and women suffer from, including rosacea, acne, sun spots, uneven skin tone and texture, and fine lines and wrinkles. Recent years have seen a rise in the number of men taking better care of their skin, as well as a number of skin care products tailored specifically for men. Lasers are often a great way to quickly and effectively take care of skin problems, and many men take advantage of them.
Some of the lasers that Ava MD offers are IPL, Fraxel laser skin resurfacing, Active/Deep FX, Clear+Brilliant, eMatrix, and PDT, among others. These lasers are each highly effective in their own way, with varying levels of aggressiveness, downtime, and number of treatments required.
