How can dermal fillers benefit men?

 Cosmetic treatments are typically pursued by women, but over time, more men have begun opting for such techniques to enhance their looks as the awareness about their benefits have increased. However, while many men acknowledge the importance of self-care, some still don’t feel comfortable undergoing cosmetic procedures.

For such men, non-invasive treatments such as dermal fillers are the ideal approach to improve their appearance. In this blog, we will discuss how men can utilize dermal fillers in Dubai to feel more confident about their overall looks.



What are dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers consist of injectable substances that can be used to add volume to different parts of your face. They are used for their anti-ageing benefits, and to enhance the aesthetic appearance by restoring the skin’s youthful look.

There are several types of dermal fillers available on the market to choose from. Some of these include the following:

· Hyaluronic acid fillers

These fillers consist of Hyaluronic Acid, a substance that is found naturally in the skin. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be used to add volume to the sunken areas and improve the overall hydration of your skin. These type of fillers commonly used by Practitioners to obtain desired results for their patients. Restylane is a type of Hyaluronic Acid filler.

· Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) fillers

This filler consists of a substance that is usually found in the bones. CaHA fillers are typically used to address severe wrinkles and fine lines that tend to be stubborn and overly visible. An example of this type of dermal filler is Radiesse.

· Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) fillers

PLLA is a substance that maintains and promotes collagen production in the skin. This filler can fill in wrinkles, fine lines, and creases on the face and thus give you a younger appearance. Some types of PLLA fillers include Sculptra.

· Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) fillers 

PMMA fillers consist of collagen and circular balls that remain under the skin once this substance is injected. These balls improve the firmness and elasticity of your skin, making you appear younger in the process. Bellafill is an example of a PMMA filler.

How can men use dermal fillers?

There is no significant difference in the way men and women can use dermal fillers for cosmetic purposes. However, the way some skin-related concerns present themselves, and their severity may vary across both genders.  Here are some concerns that dermal fillers can address in men:

· Wrinkles and creases

Men are more likely to develop wrinkles and fine lines, specifically in the forehead region. When applied carefully, dermal fillers can reduce these creases while maintaining a natural look.

· Loss of definition in the face

With age, men’s skin may begin to lose its firmness and elasticity. This will lead to changes such as sagging skin, and the development of jowls. Luckily, dermal filler can be used to add definition to areas such as the jawline and cheekbone to restore their masculine look.

· Restoring volume in thinned regions

Dermal fillers can be injected into sunken areas of the face, such as the cheeks, under the eyes (tear troughs), temples, and jawline. These areas often lose volume due to the natural aging process, weight loss, or genetics.

How long do dermal fillers last?

The results achieved through dermal fillers are temporary. This makes them the ideal treatment for men who are daunted by permanent changes to their appearance. On average, dermal fillers are expected to last between 6 months to a year.

Men can receive dermal filler treatments as frequently as they require. Since most dermal fillers contain lidocaine, these procedures come with minor pain. They also require no downtime, and results can be seen immediately.
