AS THE POPULARITY OF NON-INVASIVE cosmetic treatments continues to rise, so does the demand for them from men. While these treatments can yield excellent results for both genders, men often have specific aesthetic concerns of their own.
The primary focus for many men is addressing signs of ageing while maintaining a masculine appearance. Common concerns as men age include stubborn fat deposits, and the development of fine lines and wrinkles. These nine treatments, catering specifically for men, can help create a more youthful and refined appearance.
BROTOX (BOTOX FOR MEN)
Bid farewell to furrowed brows out and fine lines with Brotox, the male counterpart of the widely sought-after Botox skin treatment. Engineered to smooth wrinkles and restore a youthful look, Brotox is perfect for men aiming to maintain a polished appearance without appearing excessively altered. Whether softening crow's feet or relaxing forehead wrinkles, this minimally invasive treatment produces subtle yet significant results.
CHEMICAL PEELS
This solution works to exfoliate the outermost layers of the skin, removing dead skin cells, unclogging pores, and stimulating collagen production. The depth and strength of the peel can vary, ranging from superficial peels that target mild skin imperfections to deeper peels that address more significant concerns such as wrinkles, acne scars and sun damage. Following a chemical peel, patients may experience some redness, peeling and sensitivity as the skin undergoes the renewal process but ultimately revealing a smoother, more even-toned complexion over time with continued treatments.
MICRO-NEEDLING
This procedure has emerged as a leading non-invasive procedure in skincare and dermatology. This innovative technique utilises tiny, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin's surface.
