When it comes to maintaining the overall appearance of the body, it has been a tradition for women to seek solutions in aesthetic medicine or plastic surgery. From the most visible changes to the most delicate physical details, women have led the way when it comes to self-care. They have always looked for options to improve their appearance, look younger and increase confidence.
These things have never been of great importance to men, or so we thought.
In the last decade there has been a considerable increase in men seeking treatments in aesthetic medicine. According to the American Society of Aesthetic Physicians there has been a 99% increase in men receiving injectables, eg botox fillers.
And with an ever-changing world, there's no doubt that the numbers are likely to rise even higher in the years to come.
Some time ago, you might be sure you would never find a man walking into an aesthetic medicine clinic talking about wrinkles or sagging skin, but today, the statistics of men undergoing these types of procedures have doubled in the last decade.
Many have assumed that the reason for the sudden interest in aesthetic treatments is because men are more conscious of their appearance.
In a country like Spain, where male plastic surgery and non-surgical medical-aesthetic treatments are the most common throughout Europe. For example, skin rejuvenation with collagen inducers, hyaluronic acid injections, Botox, etc.
WHY DO MEN GET SOME OF THESE PROCEDURES?
Just like women, the reason men get Botox injections is to reduce facial wrinkles that form over the years. Btx is also used to treat health conditions such as neck spasms, eye disorders, and excessive sweating
The most common places men receive Botox is in the corners of the eyes to prevent crow's feet, between the eyebrows to eradicate frown lines, and on the forehead to reduce wrinkles
Btx is not invasive and is part of aesthetic medicine as an emblematic treatment. This one aims to make us look younger and revitalized, benefits that men seek just like women.
COLLAGEN INDUCTION:
Sagging skin can quickly make you look older, and over-the-counter skincare products won't do much to erase or reduce this sign of aging. To resolve this, a more professional treatment with a more concrete solution should be explored.
A manly face is defined as a strong, strong jaw, but when you look in the mirror and can't see these features, you worry.
Collagen induction improves the lines that form wrinkles and deep folds, leaving the skin looking younger and more radiant, especially when associated hyaluronic acid is used.
PLASMA RICH PLATELET INJECTIONS
Excessive hair loss can be a terrifying experience, especially from the standpoint of self-confidence and social interaction. In fact, one study suggests that 29% of women with hair loss go through a level of depression. Another report shows that baldness can be a "huge emotional burden" for men.
Two thirds of men in the world today have been affected by hair loss at some point in their lives and one third will eventually go bald.
La inyección de plasma rico en plaquetas (PRP) es un procedimiento novedoso que utiliza las plaquetas de la sangre del paciente, un tipo de célula que ayuda a la curación en el cuerpo, para revertir potencialmente la pérdida de cabello y hacer crecer cabello nuevo. Esto da una sensación de confianza significativa, especialmente para los hombres.
HYALURONIC ACID
Hyaluronic acid (also called glycosaminoglycan) is a naturally occurring substance found in the skin, joint fluid, and connective tissue in both humans and animals. 50% of the hyaluronic acid found in the human body is contained in the skin.
Hyaluronic acid provides maximum hydration to skin cells. It retains more than 1,000 times its weight in water. This helps in the supply of maximum moisture to the skin cells.
Smoothes aged or wrinkled skin and fights UV damage.
El ácido hialurónico es extremadamente importante para los hombres al igual que para las mujeres.
Although some of these procedures are more associated with the female territory, men should not be condemned for deciding to pay attention to their appearance and seek support in aesthetic medicine to meet their needs and thus strengthen their self-esteem.
