The signs of aging affect women and men in different ways, so they often 
require different treatments. Some common problems for men are deep forehead wrinkles, fine lines due to sun damage, sagging in the mid to lower face, and the development of jowls around the jawline. Due to these differences, it is important to choose a doctor who is experienced in working with male patients. Luckily, there are many dermal fillers and injectables available in our Broward County office that can help to restore the youthful masculinity to these areas of your face.
Fine Lines and Wrinkles
When it comes to treating the deep lines in your forehead or the fine lines around your face, Botox® or Dysport is are solid options. Deep wrinkles are caused by repetitive muscle movements in a certain area, such as in between the eyebrows. Botox and Dysport® targets these muscles to weaken them and relieve tension in the area, thus diminishing the wrinkles. There are also other fillers available that come in a variety of thicknesses and textures to target specific issues and areas.
Facial Sagging
As we age, our bodies stop producing certain chemicals, such as collagen or hyaluronic acid, causing our faces to sink and sag. Some fillers, such as Restylane’s Defyne, Refyne and Lyft and Allergan’s Juvederm®, work to restore this lost volume by utilizing and stimulating the production of those very chemicals. These volumizing treatments are particularly suited for targeting lines and bulges around the mouth, sunken cheeks, and bags under the eyes.
A Stronger Jawline
Depending on how they’re used, fillers can both lift and define. There are other fillers, like Just as Juvederm® utilizes one of your body’s naturally occurring chemicals, Sculptra® that stimulates collagen production to fill out the targeted area. It is a great option if you are looking to create a firmer, more squared out masculine jawline. Often, this treatment will be combined with others for a more complete result.
These are just a sampling of the dermal fillers available for men at our Ft. Lauderdale area office.
