As a general rule, the first signs of facial aging in men take longer to appear than in women. The thickness of the male dermis, which is thicker than the female dermis, delays the appearance of wrinkles.
However, thicker skin also contributes to the appearance of deeper wrinkles than in women.
What are the most popular facial treatments for men?
The nature of male skin is conducive to deeper wrinkles and this requires that treatments for men need products of greater density and concentration. The most popular medical aesthetic facial treatments are those that focus on forehead and frown lines and nasolabial folds.
Forehead and frown lines
Aesthetic care is beginning to cease to be an exclusively feminine territory. And more and more men are deciding to have a facial treatment. The way to face it will depend on the characteristics and needs of the case. For this reason, the most common is to combine several treatments:
- Botulinum Toxin to slow down and attenuate wrinkles. The dose is given by units. From 50 units is the most frequent volume, depending on the muscular strength of the patient.
- For the upper third we also use Hyaluronic Acid to fill wrinkles and Thread Tighteners to “stretch” the forehead and between the eyebrows.
With any of these treatments the results are natural and very satisfactory, giving the face a more relaxed and rejuvenated appearance.
Nasolabial fold
Depending on the needs of the individual, one type of material or another will be used. The most common are:
- Thread Tensors that produce a lifting effect stretching the skin and avoiding flaccidity.
- Sculptra, a Polylactic that fills the deepest wrinkles.
- Radiesse, which due to its vector effect stretches and fills medium wrinkles, also treating flaccidity.
- Other treatments that also offer natural and spectacular results are Hyaluronic Acid, Collagen or Ellanse, among others.
In short, a wide range of products with an indication for each person and problem, but all of them with a common denominator, 100% safe and long-lasting.
It should be noted that facial treatments not only treat an aesthetic problem, but also prevent its recurrence. For this reason, after offering an individualized solution, Clínica Maroto performs a Personalized Maintenance Planning.
Through genetic tests, they obtain the necessary information from the patient to design the best treatment, advising which foods should be taken to maintain skin care, supplements and which components should be included in the creams that will be used from then on.
