Skin Needling and Anti-Wrinkle Injections For Men

Wrinkles can appear in the form of folds, creases and ridges in the skin, and are a natural part of the ageing process.

With age, your skin loses elasticity as it becomes thinner and dryer even with a good skincare routine. Thus, your skin has a reduced ability to protect itself from damage, resulting in facial wrinkles.

Many individuals wish to remove these signs of age, and can do so from a surgical perspective (plastic surgery), or non-surgical cosmetic procedures which are quicker and less invasive.

One type of non-surgical cosmetic procedure offered at Face of Man is anti-wrinkle injections (brotox).

You may be thinking, ‘should a man get brotox?’, and the reality is that there has been a steep increase in males undertaking this treatment in the last 20 years.

Anti-wrinkle injections (brotox) contain a purified form of the botulinum toxin that freezes muscles. These neuromodulators contain a regulated amount of the toxin which blocks nerve signals in the injected muscles. This in turn temporarily paralyses the muscle, and therefore softens, reduces or entirely removes wrinkles for a youthful appearance.

Usually, anti-wrinkle injectables are inserted through a fine needle without anesthetic, and our male clients report minimal discomfort. It takes 24-48 hours for the effect of the anti-wrinkle injections to be visible, and any temporary bruising side effects will generally disappear within two to three days.

For the modern man, anti-wrinkle injections can help with:

• Forehead lines: commonly referred to as frown lines
• Crow’s feet: The fine lines that appear on the outer edge of your eyes
• Excessive Sweating: injections can alleviate the symptoms of excess sweating (common in a number of men)

$6 per unit | approx $250 per area.

Anti-wrinkle injections start as low as $6 per unit depending on the brand used, typically starting from $250 per area.

The number of units needed is dependent on a few variables:

• How much movement you have in the area
• The depth of the wrinkles
• The width of the area
• The height of your hairline if you are tackling the forehead area

It is important to note that anti-wrinkle treatments for men typically cost more than their female counterparts. This is because the muscles in men’s faces are usually bulkier than women’s, therefore requiring more product to treat the same area.
