Quick Info

- Aside from some very temporary swelling and the possibility of subtle bruising, patients can return to regular activity shortly after the procedure.
Botox & Fillers for Men
As we age, we are all prone to wrinkles and fine lines. For most of us, they begin to show up sometime in our mid to late 30‘s, maybe as just a few crinkles around the eyes when we smile. They could almost be called charming. But as we move into our 40’s and beyond, the wrinkles and lines deepen and grow into the drooping jowls and furrowed brow that are the hallmark of “the aging face”. But with so many non-surgical and surgical options on the market today, there is no need for your face to look older than you feel.
Botox® and other Wrinkle Relaxers
Once mainly in the domain of women, wrinkle relaxers are finally being embraced by men. In fact Botox®, the most well known wrinkle relaxer, is currently the most popular minimally invasive physician administered aesthetic procedure for men, and not without reason. Wrinkle relaxers work by eliminating fine lines and wrinkles. They’re also easy. A quick visit, maybe even during your lunch hour, and you’re back at the office with zero downtime. And they’re less expensive than most surgical options.
At Beautologie Cosmetic Surgery & Laser Center, our expert technicians utilize the full range of wrinkle relaxers from Botox® to Dysport®. So if you’re looking older than you feel, call us today and find out how wrinkle relaxers can help restore your youthful vigor and glow.
Dermal Fillers
Today, men are both more open and more proactive about their appearance than ever before. In fact, according to statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, over 1.5 million cosmetic procedures were performed on men in 2013, and those numbers just keep rising.
Dermal fillers are a great non-surgical way for men to achieve a more youthful appearance. They work not by relaxing the muscles like wrinkle relaxers, but by filling in the folds and creases of the face with a synthetic material that produces volume and, in some cases, causes the body to actually produce collagen. Depending on the filler used, and your body’s reaction to it, the results can last anywhere from 6 months to 3 years, which makes fillers perfect for eradicating the smile lines that run from your nose down to your chin (nasolabial folds), your crow’s feet, and that furrow between your eyes that can make you appear older than you feel. There are no incisions involved. Just a few injections and you are ready to go.
At Beautologie Cosmetic Surgery and Laser Center, our highly gifted surgeons use the following fillers:
- Restylane®
- Juvederm®
- Bellafill®
These are used either alone or in combination, depending on the depth and location of the treated area. Each has its pluses, although Bellafill® can be ideal for sunken cheeks and very deep lines as it provides the most volume. Your doctor will discuss all of your treatment options with you during your initial consultation, so give us a call today to find out how dermal fillers can restore your youthful glow and vitality.

FAQ
Botox is a neurotoxin that is injected into the skin to temporarily paralyze the muscles that cause wrinkles. It works by blocking nerve impulses to the muscles, which in turn reduces muscle activity, leading to smoother skin.
Fillers are injectable substances used to restore volume and smooth out wrinkles and fine lines. They work by filling in the areas under the skin where wrinkles and fine lines appear, plumping up the skin and creating a more youthful appearance.
Botox and fillers are generally safe when administered by a qualified and experienced medical professional. However, as with any medical procedure, there is always a small risk of side effects, such as bruising, swelling, or infection.

Botox results can be seen within a few days of treatment, while fillers typically take a few weeks to fully settle into the skin and show their full effects.
