The number of male patients in Edmonton seeking anti-aging treatments is increasing. Here are some of the most popular non-surgical cosmetic skin treatments for men.
Overview
Today, the number of male patients seeking plastic surgery and other cosmetic skin treatments such as Botox and tissue fillers has increased dramatically.
This is due to a number of contributing factors including:
- Aging concerns
- Facial rejuvenation
- Wanting to stay competitive in the job market
- Improving physical appearance
Cosmetic surgery and non-invasive skin treatments for men can help reduce the effects of age, stress and the elements, leading to a healthier, more pleasing and naturally younger looking appearance.
Most Popular Anti-Aging Skin Treatments for Men
Several of the cosmetic procedures men are choosing today are non-surgical, meaning they are less invasive, less painful and require a much shorter recovery time.
While it’s true that surgical procedures can achieve some incredible, long-lasting results, non-invasive cosmetic skin treatments can also provide powerful yet subtle changes without any of the surgical risks.
Here are two of the most popular non-surgical cosmetic skin treatments for men:
- BOTOX
The number of male patients seeking Botox has grown rapidly over the last few years, making it one of the most popular non-surgical cosmetic skin treatments.
Part of Botox’s appeal is that:
- It is not a surgical procedure
- It requires no downtime
- It works well to reduce any unwanted signs of aging
- It gives natural and powerful results
When administered by a professional and board-certified surgeon, Botox can successfully and safely smooth the appearance of forehead wrinkles, crow’s feet and laughter lines to make skin look younger and vibrant.
Everything You Need To Know About Botox For Men
How does Botox work?
Botox works to soften the appearance of certain facial lines and wrinkles through selective muscle denervation. This means that by stopping certain muscle contractions, this skin treatment softens lines and wrinkles caused by these contractions, creating a smoother, more youthful appearance.
What to expect during the Botox treatment?
Using an ultra-fine needle, Botox is injected directly into the targeted muscles causing the dynamic wrinkles. Within 48 hours, the effects of the Botox begin to curtail muscle contractions leading to noticeable aesthetic differences within 3-7 days of the skin treatment.
What can Botox treat?
Botox can be used to treat many skin concerns in male patients including:
- Eliminating frown lines
- Reducing horizontal forehead lines
- Smoothening out laughter lines and other mouth lines
- Eliminating crow’s feet
How many skin treatments will I need?
Another reason Botox is a leading cosmetic procedure for reducing lines and wrinkles is that it is ideal for patients who want to try anti-aging treatments for the first time. The results are long lasting but not permanent and can last for up to 12 weeks. Repeat treatments are required 2-3 times a year.
- DERMAL FILLERS
Dermal fillers are one of the most sought out cosmetic skin treatments for men and are a great way to look naturally younger without sacrificing masculine features.
Some of the benefits of dermal fillers include:
- Minimally invasive procedure
- Requires no recovery time
- Can be tailored to your specific requirements
- Non-permanent so you are always in control of your appearance
- Treat very deep wrinkles which other injectables (such as Botox) cannot
- Biocompatible and rarely cause reactions
During a personalized consultation, your plastic surgeon can help develop a customized dermal filler skin treatment to meet all your aesthetic goals and help eliminate the unwanted effects of stress, age, smoking and the elements.

Everything You Need To Know About Dermal Fillers For Men
How do dermal fillers work?
Dermal fillers can plump up your skin, smooth wrinkles and fill out deep lines by replacing the collagen lost due to natural aging or skin damage.
What to expect during the dermal filler treatment?
The chosen dermal filler (e.g. Juvederm, Restylane e.t.c) is injected in small, controlled doses just under the surface of the skin into the treatment area. It works by filling out the sunken areas and lines to give a smoother, firmer and more youthful appearance. Depending on the type of filler, results can last from 6-24 months
What can dermal fillers be used to treat?
Dermal fillers can be used to treat a wide range of aging and other skin concerns including:
- Creating sharper jaw lines
- Reshaping the chin
- Filling out any facial hollows
- Minimizing unwanted facial wrinkles such as frown lines & horizontal forehead lines
- Reducing the appearance of scars
How many skin treatments will I need?
The effects of the dermal fillers are natural and long-lasting but aren’t permanent. To maintain the youthful results of your treatment, repeat sessions will be required.
