Modern men are much more aware of their appearance than their forefathers were, generally because their fathers and grandfathers didn’t have to worry about how they looked.
In today’s modern world, most men have jobs in front of a computer, and a more mature gentleman may find himself wanting to keep up with the younger competition coming through the ranks.
Busy professionals want to look and feel their best, and appearance medicine is a great way to do that.
Botox
The number of men who had Botox treatment has tripled in the past decade, with the most common treatment areas being frown lines and forehead.
Botox works by blocking nerve signals to the muscles, allowing them to relax. Eventually, the lines which form over time fade away, smoothing the skin and giving a more youthful appearance.
Botox is simple with a very low risk-factor. Treatment usually takes less than half an hour, and you can resume normal activities immediately, just one of the many reasons men are turning to this effective treatment.
Chemical Peels
They work by creating controlled and uniform shedding of several layers of damaged cells. By removing the top layer of skin, a chemical peel encourages the growth of new, healthier skin cells. This boosts collagen production, giving a visibly clearer skin tone.
Chemical peels are popular with men because they are great for treating acne scarring and other skin blemishes.
Dermal Fillers
As we age, our skin loses collagen, becoming thinner. This leads to sagging, causing wrinkles to appear. Our skin also loses fat tissue, which causes it to decrease in volume.
The procedure simply takes a natural substance already found in the skin (hyaluronic acid) and injects it into the soft tissue underneath.
This plumps the skin up, adding volume and pushing out wrinkles from behind.
The result is a fuller, more youthful skin, with less wrinkles and age lines.
Liposuction
Today liposuction is a safe, affordable, and common procedure in the world of appearance medicine.
The treatment is becoming popular with men as they hit middle-age, and find that no matter how much they exercise, there are certain areas where you simply can’t lose weight.
Through liposuction, this excess fat is literally sucked out of the body, leaving behind tiny tunnels which would then collapse, resulting in an improved body shape.
Appearance Medicine doctors perform the procedure via local anaesthetic – called Tumescent Liposuction. This makes the procedure a simple walk in walk out operation at a day stay surgery.
These removed fat cells do not grow back, and thus these parts will no longer be problem areas for weight gain in the future.
Tattoo Removal
The obvious reason for tattoo removal is the name of an ex-girlfriend, which is still the most common reason given for removing a tattoo.
For any guy who is single, trying to meet someone with an ex’s name on their body immediately makes everything ten times more difficult.
Luckily, tattoo removal has come a long way in recent years. Modern laser treatment is relatively risk-free and feels no worse than getting a tattoo in the first place.
