The number of men seeking non-surgical cosmetic procedures to improve their appearance and confidence is becoming more frequent in adults all around the world. Compared to traditional surgery, these techniques are more convenient and less invasive than surgical procedures, making them perfect for today’s fast-paced world, where men increasingly seek ways to enhance their appearance without the downtime and risks associated with traditional surgery. Let’s explore the top 5 non-surgical procedures offered at Cornerstone Clinic, Dubai Marina, that are gaining popularity among men.
Botox is a popular non-surgical procedure that involves injecting Botox, or Botulinum Toxin as it is formally known, which is not a poison – despite its slightly intimidating name. It is a purified protein that blocks nerve signals and prevents your facial muscles from moving – which in turn stops you from being able to fold or wrinkle your skin (like in a frown). And, as a bonus, while your muscles are temporarily immobilised, you are also breaking habits by not using them to crease your face, meaning that you aren’t creating deeper lines but are actually preventing new ones from being formed. It is particularly effective for treating frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines. Botox can help men achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance. Botox goes beyond wrinkles – it can also help reduce migraines and the overproduction of sweat.
Dermal fillers, also known as fillers, are gel-like injectables administered under the skin that can help decrease the effects of volume loss, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and help you contour your face, leaving a more enhanced or symmetrical appearance. They are often used to treat nasolabial folds, under-eye bags, and sunken cheeks.
Skin boosters, such as Profhilo and New Cellular Treatment Factor (NCTF), are specifically designed to improve skin hydration and elasticity. They are often called the ‘injectable moisturiser’, Profhilo basically involves having a stabilised hyaluronic acid injected into areas where the skin has become loose and less young looking (around the eyes, the cheeks, jawline, nose and sides of the face). Profhilo can also be applied to areas such as the neck, décolleté, hands and arms – all of which are quick to show our age but which can’t often be helped by other anti-ageing treatments. While Profhilo might sound like a filler, it is in fact very different as it diffuses into the skin and boosts overall complexion rather than just acting on one area to fill creases.
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that involves puncturing the skin with tiny needles and it can be done on both the face and the scalp. This process stimulates collagen and elastin production, which can help to improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of scars, reduce pore size, and help with hair loss.
Laser treatments can be used for a variety of purposes, including:
