Let’s be honest — most guys don’t wake up one day thinking, “I need a med spa.” It usually starts with something smaller – noticing that you look more tired in photos, your jawline isn’t as sharp as it used to be, people keep asking if you’re stressed, or the lines between your brows don’t go away anymore.
If you want to look younger but have no idea where to begin, the good news is that you don’t have to know what treatment you need, at your consultation at Garca Facial Plastic Surgery, we can discuss all of your treatment options (including pricing and downtime) based of your individual concerns. Keep reading to find out about our most common treatments based on different concerns.
For upper face wrinkles that remain even when you’re not making an expression, Botox is likely your best option. If you look stressed or irritated even when you’re not, lines caused by making the same expressions over and over for years may be the cause. Botox works by relaxing the muscles that create frown lines (the “11s”), forehead lines, and crow’s feet around the eyes. Treatments are customizable to your areas of concern. If you don’t like the results, they will wear off naturally and you will be back to where you started. If, like many people, you do like the results, you can retreat again in 3-4 months.
If you notice hollowness under your eyes and look tired even when you’re well-rested, filler can help. As men age, volume loss can make the face look drawn or fatigued — especially under the eyes. Filler, which is basically a gel often made from hyaluronic acid, can be injected into the hollow areas. In this treatment, you are basically putting volume back where it used to be. The result is a more rested, refreshed look. Not sure if this is right for you, ask your injector to see some before and after pics of their work.
If you’ve noticed that your skin has brown spots, fine lines, and uneven tone and texture, a laser treatment might be recommended for you. At Garcia Facial Plastic Surgery, we offer a state-of-the-art hybrid fractional laser treatment. This laser has both an ablative and a non-ablative wavelength for improvement of the surface of the skin as well as collagen stimulation deeper in the skin. This treatment gives natural-looking results. A clear, bright complexion goes a long way when it comes to slowing the appearance of aging skin.
