(703) 924-3144Many people deal with visible signs of aging, like fine lines, wrinkles, and volume loss around the cheeks, jawline, and eyes. These changes happen when the body no longer produces the amount of collagen and elastin needed to support firm, youthful-looking skin. While you can make certain nutritional changes to improve collagen production, it is typically not enough to change the signs of aging already present.
In recent years, many men have begun evaluating their appearances and investigating their options for simple solutions to boost their confidence. Dermal fillers for men in Northern Virginia are non-surgical procedures that can help you achieve a younger, fresher look. The experienced team at the Virginia Center for Plastic Surgery is here to help you look and feel your best.
Dermal fillers are injectable products, often with a base of hyaluronic acid. This naturally occurring substance in the body can help add volume under the skin. By adding volume, dermal fillers can help men achieve a more chiseled jawline and reduce the appearance of a double chin. Other popular uses for dermal fillers for men are to rejuvenate the mid-face, sculpt the cheeks, or improve a receding chin.
Addressing these areas can improve your overall appearance and facial proportions, creating a stronger frame and a more structured profile. Using dermal fillers in these areas can also reduce the appearance of creases and wrinkles and stimulate your body’s collagen production. Many men use dermal fillers in combination with other injectable treatments such as Botox® at our clinic in Alexandria to target visible signs of aging around the eyes and brow line.
Because men have thicker skin and larger bones than women, they often require different dermal fillers to achieve the best results. While dermal fillers can help turn back the hands of time, they do not stop the aging process. The body naturally breaks down the injected fillers over time, and the results fade. How long your dermal filler treatment lasts depends on how quickly your body metabolizes the substance. Some of the best dermal fillers for men are hyaluronic acid-based substances, as patients are less likely to develop an allergic reaction.
Dermal fillers can be used at most ages. Older men may use dermal fillers to help reduce the visible signs of aging, while younger men can choose dermal fillers to slow the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid helps add volume and plumps the skin, which helps delay the formation of wrinkles and promotes the body’s collagen production. Dermal fillers provide an almost instant solution, and most of our patients in Northern Virginia see the full results within just a few days.
Each face is unique, not only in appearance but also in the underlying structure. Dr. Desman and our skilled team at the Virginia Center for Plastic Surgery work with men to customize dermal filler treatment plans that suit their individual needs. During your initial consultation, we discuss your medical history and cosmetic concerns to choose the best treatment for you.
The ideal candidate is generally healthy with no uncontrolled medical conditions. Men with Type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure are eligible for dermal fillers when their condition is under control. Men who are prone to allergic reactions, have blood clotting disorders, or have had other cosmetic procedures should discuss these concerns with Dr. Desman, as they may interfere with the results of a dermal filler treatment.
Recovery from dermal filler treatment is quick and requires little to no restrictions. However, the recovery time may vary depending on the individual patient, the area treated, the extent of the correction, and the product used. Most men recover completely within two to three days with minimal discomfort. During the dermal filler application at our Northern Virginia clinic, our surgeon may use numbing cream or local anesthetic, depending on the area being treated and the extent of the treatment.
Men can expect the treated area to be tender for a few days. That discomfort is generally well managed using over-the-counter pain relievers. Your surgeon will give you instructions on caring for the area, which you should follow carefully to ensure the best possible results.
