Aging means gaining wisdom and experience in life—but it also unfortunately means losing volume and elasticity in the skin. Luckily, fillers are an effective way to restore a fuller, more youthful appearance for men and women alike. Although women often begin their anti-aging efforts from a relatively young age, many men neglect to fight the effects of aging until they are much older, which can sometimes be too late. However, injectables are an effective way to erase wrinkles and take years off your face, and they’re becoming more common among men with each passing year.

Addressing Bags and “Tired Eyes” 

Many men experience “tired eyes,” or a look of perpetual exhaustion that comes from bags under the eyes. For those who are sick of being asked if they’ve gotten enough sleep, injectables can be an easy fix. Bags generally occur when volume is lost from underneath the eye, which creates a hollow, shadowed area with a defined border. However, a filler such as Restylane can often restore volume lost in these areas.

Eliminated Parentheses Lines

One distinctive sign of aging is smile lines, often called “parentheses lines,” as they form curved lines that look like parentheses around the mouth. These lines occur through the continual folding and unfolding of tissue in the area, which results in indentations. A filler such as Juvederm Ultra, which is a gel-like filler made with hyaluronic acid, can restore volume and hydration while tightening the skin. This filler is also commonly used for men who want to restore fullness to their lips. 

Wrinkle Prevention

After existing wrinkles are addressed, men can also use fillers to prevent further development of wrinkles as they age. Botox is commonly used as early as the late twenties, since men often develop fine lines and wrinkles earlier than women. Botox lasts for two years, and it can be easily replaced with a simple check-up every year and a half or so to address wrinkles as they develop.

Keeping a Firm Jaw

Since men are naturally more angular than women, maintaining the appearance of a firm, angular jaw can make a world of difference in apparent age. This means addressing sagging jowls that can create an aged look. Fillers such as Bellafill can have long-lasting jawline enhancement effects, and the treatment can be performed in merely a half an hour. Solutions such as Coolsculpting can also have great effects, which go a long way in restoring your youthful, masculine appearance.

For men, staying youthful is all about retaining volume as well as angles and definition. For a consultation about age prevention or reversal using fillers or other facial treatments, call our team of specialists at 603-627-7000 today. We can’t wait to hear from you!

CoolScultping is a non-invasive procedure that can help reduce fat in targeted areas. Approved by the FDA in 2010, CoolSculpting has become a popular and safe alternative to liposuction used by many Americans. While CoolSculpting is not for everyone, it can be a very effective method of eliminating fat from stubborn areas for those who are 20 to 30 pounds away from their desired weight.

How Does CoolSculpting Work?

CoolScultping uses a technique called cryolipolysis. By pressing fat between two super-cooled panels, the fat is frozen, and the fat cells are killed. Dead fat cells are naturally passed out of the body through the liver. Fat in areas treated with CoolSculpting is gone permanently, but patients should be mindful that any weight gained could return to treated areas. 

What to Expect With a CoolSculpting Treatment

It takes approximately one hour to treat each targeted section of the body, and a single treatment will kill off roughly 20 percent of the fat cells. Multiple treatments spread out over a few weeks are usually needed to produce the desired reduction. It takes three weeks for the body to fully dispose of the dead cells, so the final results won’t be visible until some time after the last treatment. During treatment, patients report a tugging sensation from the application of the cooling panels. In some cases, moderate swelling or pain at the site of the treatment can occur. There is also a chance that patients can experience a prolonged numbness, a feeling that the treated part of the body has “fallen asleep.”

What Kind of Results Do CoolSculpting Patients See?

While CoolSculpting removes fat from the body, it is not really a weight loss solution because the amounts of fat are small and from specific areas. Instead, as the name suggests, it helps sculpt the proportions of the body by targeting fat in areas like the love handles, stomach, thighs, and lower back. It can also be used for the neck/chin area, where it can be combined with skin tightening treatment for even better results.

Overall, CoolSculpting is a popular and safe option for many people looking to trim and slim their physique when diet and exercise alone are not enough. Pellè Medical Spa uses a DualSculpting method, employing two CoolSculpting machines simultaneously during treatment to both sides of a patient’s body, effectively cutting the needed treatment time in half.
