Men Are Getting It!

By Clea Spahn


There is still a big difference when it comes to the women and men having cosmetic procedure or plastic surgery, but the number of men considering these options is increasing. There has been a recent boom in methods that enhance appearance that are non-surgical, and men are now getting involved.

Men like things that are inconspicuous so they don't have to justify their actions to their friends and they like things with no downtime so it doesn't disturb the rest of their lifestyle. Men are even becoming a little more self-conscious about their skin condition and this may be a combination of a high incidence of skin cancer as well as their wish to simply look better. The more exposure to the sun that someone has had, the less effective the elasticity of the skin will be, and they will look more aged because of this.

Future sun damage can be reduced, and damage from the past can be repaired as much as possible. It's a simple thing to do after the daily shave with perhaps a bit of a top up at night before retiring.

Rhinoplasty is an operation that men tend to particularly seek out. This may be due to the self-consciousness about a big nose, of an odd shape or a crooked nose. Rhinoplasty is generally performed as a day patient under a general anaesthetic and return to work is possible after a week but some bruising may persist for as long as two weeks.

The scars from a procedure like blepharoplasty and neck or face lifts are negligible, so men are also attracted to these procedures. Men do not wish to look like a lot of work has been done. In many cases, a man would mind having some wrinkles less than having obvious signs of having undergone a cosmetic procedure.

Despite attention to diet and a vigorous exercise program some men simply can't shift certain deposits of fat. Commonly this is in the flank region or on the abdomen where men tend to carry most of their fat. Shaping of these regions with liposuction can be done as a day patient and return to work the next day is usually possible which can suit the busy male lifestyle.

Men who wish to have a highly sculpted athletic physique may also be interested in hair removal procedures. The more powerful lasers are much more effective at significantly reducing hair numbers. For the selected areas of the body, several treatments are needed, and one should avoid tanning before undergoing this process.

Whatever men do, they tend to do it for reasons different from those of women. In the world of business, competitiveness is big, and how someone looks is part of it. In order to turn back the clock and look youthful once again, finding a cosmetic surgeon who has treated men and has that experience is wise.

Get Younger Looking Skin Without Plastic Surgery

By Stina Delance


Photofacial is an advanced skin rejuvenation technique that uses pulse light technology to reduce redness, and uneven skin tone. This procedure is in high demand at this time for making aging symptoms less prominent and reducing blemishes on the skin, using this noninvasive method, which brings rapid effects.

Aging has many signs and mixed with sun damage, some of these signs include broken blood vessels in the area of the chin, nose, cheeks, hands, and neck, along with unsightly brown spots. Age spots are brown areas on the skin that appear after much exposure to the sun, and they are caused by pigment forming that protects from UV rays. The skin produces new blood vessels in spots where harm from the sun has accumulated. This process of new blood vessel growth is called inflammation.

Blood is brought in to the area from these new vessels in order to bring healing compounds in, and to remove damaged cells. Blood vessels that are damaged stay after the inflammation heals stay in place and leave unsightly marks and spots. These pigmented and red vascular spots create an aged appearance to the facial skin which is called dyschromia, which is a sign of facial aging.

How does it work?

The bright intense pulsed light is passed through a filter where only a specific color of the flash light reaches the skin. The damaged areas of pigments in age spots and blood vessels selectively absorb the light energy that makes contact with the skin in these places using the photofacial process. The heat of IPL light consequently destroys the pigment and blood vessel.

Noninvasive processes such as these do not need much, if any, time to heal afterwards since they are not very intensive. After the quick treatment, the patient will be able to be on their way and back to their life after 15 minutes, or at the most, half an hour. There are some signs of redness and capillary exposure right after the treatment at times. This will fade and you will often enjoy the effects of your Photofacial following your first treatment. Photofacials are pretty light on skin, especially when compared to the possible scarring and peeling that can result when using lasers for treatment. During this process, skin is not broken at all, although the area may be slightly darker afterwards. Slight redness could last for hours after the treatment, but that's about the worst of it. When a patient needs to go to work and there is still some redness, some makeup does a good job of making this unnoticeable.

Treatments should be done every 2 or 3 weeks, and somewhere between 3 and 7 total treatments typically bring the expected results for patients. Rosacea patients see benefits of these treatments quickly, and will notice the redness becoming less prominent over time.

After the procedure, be sure to follow the physician's exact instructions carefully. Avoid sun exposure before and after photofacial treatments. If a patient does not follow the guidelines and decides to tan or go in the sun, dyspigmentation and blistering is possible. When a patient gets too much sun too close to a treatment, discoloration of the skin may also happen. Always wear sunscreen to maximize and sustain your results.
