Every Man’s Game - Cosmetics with men in mind

November 4, 2020

With summer on the horizon it's not just upping the ante on our sunscreen and water intake we’re turning to – it’s our Christmas-ready and holiday-season-prepared appearances. And fine tuning, contouring and sculpting the bod with cosmetic and appearance medicine procedures is not just a woman's domain. Men too are most deserving of cosmetic and injectable procedures that rejuvenate and define areas from head to toe - and all those in between.

So, what are a few of the key area’s men can channel to restore body balance and facial harmonise?

Gynecomastia – or enlarged breasts. Overdevelopment of breast tissue in males is common, in fact up to 50 per cent of males experience some degree of gynecomastia. The procedure is a relatively simple and involves fat and/or glandular tissue being removed from the chest – liposuction is used as part of the procedure too. The result? A flatter, firmer and defined chest.

Fat buster – CoolSculpting – For those men wanting to rid stubborn fat once and for all, FDA-approved CoolSculpting is a non-invasive permanent fat removal treatment that gets the job done. CoolSculpting Advantage applicators target stubborn fat in areas like the stomach and hips which have a higher density of alpha receptors. Each applicator delivers precisely controlled – and safer – cooling to fat cells beneath the skin. The cells are crystallised and die, and then naturally eliminated from your body. Results are also in keeping with the body’s natural silhouette and form. Unlike liposuction, which can result in misshapen bulges or even scarring, CoolSculpting yields long-term results gradually. Depending on the treatment area and density of fat, changes can be seen within weeks or a few months.

Chin time – Many men who sport a double chin aren’t overweight! Did you know that you don’t even have to be overweight to sport a double chin!? Age and genetics both play a role. As we age skin loses its elasticity, and some of us have a family history of skin with minimal elasticity – sagging is inevitable. So, forget dragging yourself to the gym twice a week, reach for BELKYRA injections. This non-invasive procedure uses a synthetic form of a deoxycholic acid – which our bodies naturally produce – to melt away fat for good, without incision, and healing is quick. BELKYRA works by absorbing the chin fat – destroying it from within. Many men require may two-to-three treatments, spaced apart to gain the best results. And those results speak contour – think natural sculpting, jowls reduce, second chin gone.
