2021 Top 5 Nonsurgical Treatments for Men

Many people automatically think of cosmetic procedures as being strictly for women. However, that’s not the case at all.

Many men seek cosmetic treatments as a way to improve on areas of their body they believe need improvement. Also, just like women, men may want to opt for a non-surgical cosmetic procedure instead of one that’s invasive and requires surgery.

Certain nonsurgical cosmetic procedures are extremely popular for men. You might want to learn about those that are ranked as the top five.

Chemical Peels

Men can have issues with their skin just like women and opt to have those concerns addressed. Chemical peels can treat an array of skin problems such as wrinkles, sun-damage and scarring.

The procedure is often sought by men in their 40s and 50s, in particular, and is considered a very popular non-invasive procedure to improve the skin.

A newer no downtime peel has become a favorite for both men and women alike.  Fast results and no downtime or burning sensation.

This is a fabulous treatment to get tighter skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles so they can have younger, fresher-looking skin! Chemical peels can even help with getting a closer shave.

BOTOX® Injections & Dermal Fillers

Men have wrinkles too.  Botox can reduce wrinkles in the forehead, crows feet area and in-between your eyebrows (the infamous “11’s).

By freezing the muscle in those areas, your wrinkles will not be as pronounced when smiling and making facial expressions. It’s a non-invasive, non-surgical cosmetic procedure that is quick and easy. Results are seen in 4-7 days.

Restore your confidence and look younger in just a week!   Over 3 million BOTOX® injections are done throughout the country each year. It’s safe and effective for improving the appearance of the facial skin by smoothing eliminating wrinkles and fine lines.

Dermal fillers work to address focused area of the skin that as lost volume or has a deeper crease. For men, the nasal fold area is a favorite for filling in those deep crevices. However, fillers can address more intense issues such as drooping, jowls, and weak jawlines. If a man has an issue with his jawline appearing too weak and un-masculine, dermal fillers can correct the problem.

There are a variety of dermal fillers available to address the specific needs of the patient. Those made up of hyaluronic acids like Juvéderm® and Restylane® can improve the face by smoothing out deep lines, wrinkles, and scars. Others are better at addressing the problem of smaller, finer facial lines.

Overall, dermal fillers can provide results that last approximately 9 to 12 months depending on the areas treated.

Laser Hair Removal

Why shave when you can laser it off? Men often seek laser hair removal as a way to eliminate excess body hair in areas such as face, neck, chest or back. Best of all, laser hair removal eliminates razor burn and that 5 o’clock shadow. No matter what hair you want removed, you can discuss your options with the doctor to determine what’s best for you based on your skin type.

Non-Surgical Fat Reduction

Men are often plagued by excess fat that they’re unable to eliminate through dieting and exercise. In most cases, men’s problem areas are in the abdomen and flanks. While liposuction and tummy tucks are good at reducing those areas it does come with some down time.

Now it’s possible to eliminate excess fat through nonsurgical methods. UltraShape is one of those options and uses ultrasound energy waves to kill fat cells under the skin’s surface.  There is no downtime or pain. Simply less fat!

Individuals who aren’t prime candidates for invasive surgical procedures like liposuction or tummy tucks can get this nonsurgical fat reduction treatment.

Hair Loss Rejuvenation

According to AmericanHairLoss.org, by the age of thirty-five two-thirds of American men will experience some degree of hair loss, and by the age of fifty approximately 85% of men have significantly thinning hair.

A new method of  hair stimulation is microneedling with a prp or a potent topical serum.

This treatment creates channels in the scalp. Then a topical serum solution created by doctors and scientists is applied to the area.

A series of 4-6 sessions is recommend.

What is Skin Rejuvenation / Resurfacing?

Such problems slowly cause the skin – especially around the face to lose its youthful glow. Sometimes, women going through hormonal changes related to aging and menopause that also face such problems.
There are many surgical and non-surgical treatments designed by skin specialists around the world to help people struggling with such skin disorders.

iii) Pigmentation: Brown spots, freckles, dark patches and sun spots caused by excessive exposure to sunlight.

All You Need to Know About Dermal Fillers & Botox Treatments

Our face is the first thing anyone notices about us. As we age, most people start to feel a little self conscious about their aging face.

Let’s face it – we want to maintain our youthful look.

This is where Botox and Dermal Fillers work wonders. Whenever we meet someone new, the first thing they observe about us is the way our faces look and the facial expressions we use.

And so, it’s all the more important for us to look after our face and skin as we age.

Botox and filler treatments are fast gaining popularity around the world. Why? Botox smooths out wrinkles and Fillers add volume where it’s diminished.

And, results are fast. Botox typically with in 2-14 days and fillers is an instant improvement.

High success rates and advancement in technology have vastly improved the results people have experienced with Botox treatments.

But to have spotless, wrinkle free skin it’s important to know which treatment is right for you.

Before you look for Botox or Filler treatments in the Boston, MA or Providence, RI area, make sure you go through this post for everything you need to know about injectable treatments.

What is Botox?

Botox is a drug with the scientific name – bacterium clostridium botulinum. Usually found in the gills of fish and certain organs of crab, the botox drug is harmful to human beings when consumed.

However, when botox is administered to human beings in extremely small quantities – in a controlled clinical environment, it has proven to be a useful therapeutic drug.

Uses of Botox

Predominantly, Botox is used as a toxin to help reduce wrinkles and fine lines in the human skin. But apart from cosmetic surgery the botulinum toxin has a variety of medical uses like:

  • Treatment of eyelid spasm.
  • To cure neck and shoulder spasms.
  • Chronic migraine.
  • Eye squint.

The FDA approved botox for wrinkles years ago. Additional approvals for Botox can now treat a number of additional conditions including migraines, eyelid spasms, hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) and excessive neck pain.

Botox Treatment

After diluting the toxin with saline, it is injected directly into the neuromuscular tissue.

The toxin effects the nerve endings in the muscles and prevents contraction of the tissue.

This results in a smoother, wrinkle free look. There are typically no long term side effects of a Botox treatment.

What are Dermal Fillers?

A Dermal Filler is a gel like substance, unlike botox which is a liquid substance, which involves a simple injection of Hyaluronic Acid or (HA) into the skin fold or depressed area.

HA is a naturally occurring product in our skin but as we age, our body produces less of it – making our skin drier, thinner and more difficult to heal. Dermal fillers add volume and works to fill in the wrinkles in the skin giving you a fresher, younger look.

The biggest advantage of the filler treatment is that it is painless and scar free, causing the most minimal bruising and patients may return to work immediately after the treatment.

There are several types of fillers. Natural fillers like Hyaluronic Acid are most recommended as they don’t involve injection of a foreign product in the body.

Also popular, are synthetic fillers which have a longer lasting effect on the skin. Recently, collagen fillers made from collagen extracted from cows have also been proven clinically healthy for use in human skin.

Uses of Fillers

Filler treatments are only used for improving appearance of the skin, reducing wrinkles and fine lines. Filler treatments also help in improving facial structure and volume.

Unlike Botox treatments which involves the use of toxins, filler treatments are more economical, natural and almost painless. Therefore, most skin treatments involving removal of hollows, wrinkles, fine lines and depressed spots – the most recommended treatment is a dermal filler product like Juvederm or Restylane products.

Dermal Filler Treatment Procedure

Dermal fillers are is to replace volume in a particular area. After the injection of fillers in the skin, patients begin to notice effects within thirty to forty five minutes.

Sometimes filler treatments may cause bumps in the skin or a slight bruising or swelling. But this is normal for any injectable treatment and can be expected to go away soon enough.

As we mentioned in the beginning of this article, choosing the right treatment for yourself is critical in bringing about the right results.

Here are some questions you must ask your skin expert before opting for a procedure –

  • What are the qualifications and experience of the surgeon performing the procedure?
  • What are the products that will be used for my treatment?
  • Do you have any feedback from your past patients? Could you share some before and after photos?
  • What are the potential side-effects of this treatment?
  • What after care would I be given?
