Botox For Men

Facial lines caused by muscle movements, such as squinting or smiling, are known as dynamic wrinkles. This type of wrinkle can be tough to prevent and treat and may make you look sad or angry even when you are in a good mood. Tiny muscles cause the skin to fold when you make a facial expression, and over time, these folds become deeper and more permanent.

BOTOX® Cosmetic can be used to soften facial lines and creases to provide a more youthful and refreshed aesthetic.

Benefits

  • Non-surgical
  • Little to no downtime
  • Treatment is quick and easy

Ideal Candidates

Ideal candidates for BOTOX® Cosmetic are concerned about fine lines and wrinkles in the upper portion of the face but are not interested in a surgical procedure. Patients should be in good health and willing to continue regular treatments if they wish to maintain their youthful appearance.

How It Works

BOTOX® Cosmetic is made of a diluted form of botulinum toxin A, which blocks nerve signals to the facial muscles. When it is strategically injected, the BOTOX® Cosmetic temporarily immobilizes the muscles, smoothing out wrinkles in the face. BOTOX® Cosmetic can be used in the following areas:

  • Forehead
  • Frown lines
  • Smoker’s lines
  • Crow’s feet
  • Neck bands
  • Masseter muscle (for facial slimming)

Ice or numbing cream may be applied to the target sites for your comfort. Injections will then be made to relax the muscles that are causing fine lines and wrinkles. Your treatment can be completed in about 15 minutes.

Recovery and Results

Immediately after your injections, you may experience some swelling and redness in the treatment site(s). These side effects are usually mild and resolve within a day or two. You may return to most of your regular activities right after your appointment, but we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for about 24 hours.

Most patients begin to see results 24 to 48 hours after their injections. Final results can take 10 to 14 days to develop. You can expect the effects of your BOTOX® Cosmetic treatment to last for approximately three to four months. Maintenance treatments spaced three to four months apart can help preserve your refreshed appearance. Continued use may help extend the lifetime of future treatments.

Scheduling a consultation with the Institute of Anti-Aging Medicine and Skin Spa will help you determine whether you are a true candidate for facial fillers.

How It Works

The facial fillers offered at the Institute of Anti-Aging Medicine and Skin Spa consist of hyaluronic acid (HA), which is a natural substance in the skin that delivers nutrients, helps the skin retain moisture and softness, and adds volume to the areas being treated. Facial fillers are made from a modified form of HA and are injected into the predetermined areas of the face.

Treatment typically takes about 15 to 20 minutes to complete. The facial fillers for men offered at the Institute of Anti-Aging Medicine and Skin Spa are:

Recovery and Results

Patients may feel a mild tenderness in the treatment area. Some men may also experience swelling, but these side effects should dissipate within two to three days. Normal activities may be resumed immediately following treatment, as there is no downtime associated with facial fillers. Results can be seen almost immediately, and for continued results, it is recommended that facial fillers are maintained over the years to show off your youthful appearance.

FAQS

Different fillers are used in different areas of the face and body including the cheeks, lips, nasolabial folds, smile lines, lines at
the corners of the mouth, vertical lip lines, hands and earlobes. You can meet with your injector to discuss your treatment
goals and they will recommend a treatment plan with the appropriate filler for your areas of concern.

Most of the fillers we use at our office contain pain reducing lidocaine to help manage pain or discomfort during the injection.
Your injector may also use a topical numbing cream or ice to further minimize discomfort.

You may return to most of your regular activities right after your appointment, but we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for about 24 hours.

FAQS

BOTOX® Cosmetic targets one of the underlying causes of frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines – the repeated muscle
contractions from frowning, squinting, smiling and raising the eyebrows over the years. Your injector will inject these muscles
with BOTOX® Cosmetic to temporarily reduce muscle activity. You will begin to notice a visible smoothing of the frown lines
between your brows, your crow’s feet lines, and your forehead lines in 2-3 days, and you will see the full effect in 14 days.

BOTOX® Cosmetic lasts for an average of 3 months. We recommend BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments 3-4 times a year for most
people. When you see muscle activity returning to the point where you see your skin creasing, it is time for your next BOTOX®
Cosmetic treatment.

If you discontinue BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments, your muscle activity will just return to normal and you will begin to see your
wrinkles returning. Nothing bad will happen, you may just miss your previous smooth appearance!

No.

No.

Not at all! Many men make BOTOX® Cosmetic part of what they do to care for their appearance. The number of men choosing
treatments like BOTOX® Cosmetic has risen fast – in the past three years alone, men have received over one million botulinum
toxin treatments.

The actual injection process takes less than 10 minutes. Your injector will take your photos, discuss your treatment goals and
perform a facial analysis to determine the appropriate treatment for you that aligns with your budget. Your initial consultation
and injection appointment will take about 45 minutes. Once you have a treatment plan in place, you will usually be in and out
of our office in about 20 minutes for your routine BOTOX® Cosmetic appointments.

Most patients report that being injected with BOTOX® Cosmetic feels like a pinch. Your injector may use ice to numb the
treatment area. Or, if you are concerned about discomfort, your injector may apply a topical numbing cream before
administering your treatment. If you would like additional numbing time, please notify the specialist when scheduling your
treatment.

Three percent of patients experienced eyelid drooping in the frown lines studies, one percent of patients experienced eyelid
swelling in the crow’s feet studies, and one percent of patients experienced brow drooping in the forehead lines studies. Other
possible side effects include dry mouth; discomfort or pain at the injection site; tiredness; headache; bruising; double vision;
blurred vision; dry eyes and allergic reactions.

Everyone is different and our injectors have extensive training to help them determine muscle strength and indications for
each individual’s treatment. With that said, a typical forehead treatment is between 12-25 units. A typical treatment between
brows is about 20-25 units. A typical crow’s feet treatment is between 24-30 units (12-15 units per side).

Yes! We love the temporary effect of BOTOX® Cosmetic injected into the muscle around the mouth. It gives a slightly pouty
appearance and often shows more pink of the lip when the patient smiles. A typical lip flip uses about 3-4 units.

Dr. LeConey is board-certified in emergency medicine, is a certified Allergan trainer, and trains physicians and nurses in the injection of BOTOX® Cosmetic, JUVÉDERM®, and KYBELLA®.

Ideal Candidates

Ideal candidates for the Pain-Free, Hair-Free™ treatment are individuals who wish to remove hair from their legs, arms, bikini, back, chest, stomach, face, or neck. These candidates also have realistic expectations of their goals. The ideal candidate also has colored hair, as this laser does not work on gray or white hair.

How It Works

Pain-Free, Hair-Free™ works by using laser energy to gradually heat the hair follicles in the subcutaneous tissues until the follicles can no longer produce new hair. This technology also uses a patented DualChill™ treatment tip to keep the surface of your skin cool and comfortable during the treatment. Additionally, Pain-Free, Hair-Free™ uses a sweeping motion to ensure that the entire target area is tended to without leaving any hairs behind.

Recovery and Results

Laser hair removal does not require any downtime, and because treatment is so quick, patients can be back to their normal routine without interrupting their day. It is important to follow all post-treatment instructions and avoid direct sunlight to the treatment area, picking or scratching the treated skin, and plucking any new hairs that may grow between treatments.

To achieve optimal results, patients may require six to nine treatments, spaced four to six weeks apart, depending on the area. Yearly maintenance is also suggested.

FAQS

You can expect results from a series of relatively short sessions. A trained laser technician performs each treatment and you are free to return to normal activities immediately after each session, with respect to working out.

There are a number of factors that can affect the success of a series of hair removal treatments, but generally, after each treatment, you will see a noticeable, permanent reduction in the number of hairs that re-grow in the treatment area. Remember that the laser only disables the follicles of the hairs that are in the "growing phase" at the time of the appointment.The follicles that are in the "resting phase" will begin to "wake up" over the course of the next few weeks. Typically, it will require 6-9 treatments to permanently reduce the number of re-growing hairs. Treatments are recommended every 4-6 weeks depending on the area treated. Maintenance sessions may be required, typically once or twice a year.

While pain tolerance is subjective, many patients often describe the sensation as soothing as a “hot stone massage” on most body areas, more sensitive areas can feel slightly more intense.

No. Alma hair removal requires no “down time” or recovery time. You can have a treatment and return to work or school immediately.

Most importantly, before you undergo laser treatment, you must not expose the treated area to the sun or tanning beds. A sunscreen of SPF30, or preferably a total sun block of SPF50, should be applied whenever exposure to the sun is unavoidable. It is also important to shave the area being treated within 24 hours before your appointment. It is recommended to wait at least
4 weeks after having any waxing, threading, tweezing, bleaching treatments or use of a depilatory cream before starting laser hair removal and discontinue completely during the treatment series.

Testosterone Replacement Therapy

As men age, testosterone secretion decreases, which can often cause a loss of motivation and drive to partake in normal activities. This is called andropause (male menopause). However, male hormonal imbalances can be easily and safely restored with transdermal testosterone replacement at the Institute of Anti-Aging Medicine and Skin Spa.

Benefits

  • Improved sexual function
  • Weight-loss program

Ideal Candidates

Men between the ages of 30 and 45 are the typical candidates for testosterone replacement therapy. Most ideal candidates are those who suffer from decreased sex drive, strength, and energy. Hair loss, emotional changes, high cholesterol, lack of sleep, and deterioration in work performance and physical activity are also symptoms of andropause that should be considered when thinking about undergoing testosterone replacement therapy.

How It Works

Transdermal testosterone cream is the safe, natural alterna­tive to testosterone injections. Until recently, testosterone replacement for men required in-office shots every few weeks. Now, men can treat themselves with testosterone cream at home. It is important to schedule your consultation with the Institute of Anti-Aging Medicine and Skin Spa so that the correct dosage can be ordered for your needs. Applying the cream to the upper arms, shoulders, or abdomen is the most effective way to use the cream and reap its benefits.

Recovery and Results

There is no recovery time associated with testosterone replacement therapy. It takes about two hours for the cream to be absorbed into the body, and the effects of transdermal testosterone cream become noticeable after a few weeks, though the exact timing will depend on circumstances specific to each individual. Schedule your consultation today so that you can start enjoying a better quality of life in all aspects.

Hair Restoration With Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

Thinning hair and hair loss is something that many men and women have to face as they age. But it isn’t something that just needs to be dealt with; instead, you can take action and restore your hair with platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Undergoing a hair restoration treatment with PRP can increase your hair count, hair thickness, and the growth phase of the hair cycle itself.

Benefits

  • Non-invasive treatment
  • Looks natural
  • Customized to you

Ideal Candidates

Ideal candidates for hair restoration with PRP are men and women who are experiencing the early stages of hair loss. Other candidates may be those with androgenic alopecia. It is recommended that you schedule a consultation with the Institute of Anti-Aging Medicine and Skin Spa to find out if hair restoration with PRP is the right treatment for your hair loss needs.

How It Works

Hair restoration with PRP is a concentration of platelets in the blood, which are crucial to wound healing. PRP releases growth factors into the head to expedite the body’s own repair process and stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin. This process is safe and quick and can extract a high concentration of biological nutrient-rich cells to create platelet-rich plasma. PRP hair restoration treatments are typically 45 minutes.

Recovery and Results

There is no risk of an allergic reaction to PRP, and the body should not reject it either, since it is the body’s own blood that is being injected back into the treatment area. The whole process is easy, convenient, and pain-free. Additionally, this procedure does not require any downtime.

Results of your hair restoration with PRP treatment begin to become noticeable after about four to six weeks. Immediately after your treatment, your hair will look healthier and shinier, but the growth will take a few months to become fully noticeable, due to the hair growth cycle.
