Women aren’t the only ones concerned with aging. As men age, it’s natural to notice changes in the appearance of their skin and face, too. Fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin can all contribute to a tired or older-looking appearance.

While these changes are a normal part of the aging process, many men are now seeking out anti-aging treatments to help them look and feel their best. Let’s check out six popular anti-aging treatments that men love for their ability to turn back the clock and boost confidence.

Botox

Botox is one of the most popular cosmetic treatments for both men and women. Botox is an injectable that works by relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles and fine lines. It is particularly effective for treating forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines between the eyebrows.

Botox treatment is done in about 30 minutes or less, is practically painless, and has no downtime, making it a convenient option for busy men. Results typically last 3-4 months, and regular maintenance treatments can help to keep wrinkles at bay.

Dermal Fillers

Fillers aren’t just for lips. As we age, our skin loses volume and elasticity, leading to sagging and a hollow appearance in certain areas of the face. Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that can help to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and lift sagging skin. It can also enhance weak features, such as the jawline and nose, for a more masculine appearance.

Popular areas for men to treat with fillers include the cheeks, jawline, and under-eye area. Results can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the type of filler used.

Microneedling

Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that involves using fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. This stimulates the body’s natural healing response, leading to increased collagen production and firmer, smoother skin.

Microneedling can be effective for reducing the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, and uneven skin texture. The treatment typically requires pretty much no downtime, and results can continue to improve over several weeks.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels involve applying a solution to the skin that causes the outer layers to exfoliate and peel away, revealing smoother, brighter skin underneath. Peels can be customized to address a variety of skin concerns, including fine lines, sun damage, and uneven skin tone.

Light to medium-depth peels are popular among men, as they require minimal downtime and can provide noticeable improvements in skin texture and tone without being obvious.

Hair Removal

While technically not an “anti-aging” treatment, we think that less (grey?) hair can certainly make you look more youthful all over. In addition, men love hair reduction treatments since they give them their time back with long-lasting results.

Venus Versa combines Intense Pulse Light (IPL) with maximum heat to target follicle pigment below the surface of the skin. Many men opt for hair removal treatments on their chest, back, shoulders, abdomen, and pubic region. Men can also utilize laser hair removal to remove unwanted facial hair.

Hair Restoration

Age-related hair loss affects over 50 million men in the United States. An effective treatment option called Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) offers proven results for regrowing hair.

The process of PRP treatments for men involves drawing a small amount of blood, placing the blood in a centrifuging, and injecting the resulting platelet-rich plasma into the scalp where hair thinning and hair loss is most noticeable in order to help stimulate hair growth.

Kybella

Kybella is an injectable treatment that targets submental fat, commonly known as a double chin. The active ingredient in Kybella, deoxycholic acid, helps to break down and destroy fat cells, resulting in a more defined jawline and improved chin contour.

The treatment typically involves a series of injections spaced several weeks apart, and results can be long-lasting and maintained even better with proper diet and exercise.
