While males and females may experience the signs of ageing differently, the unique challenges men face require a nuanced approach.

Trust her skill, precision, and expertise to help you stay ahead of the game.

What are the unique considerations for Dermal Filler for Men?

When injecting a male face with dermal filler, it is important to consider several characteristics of male anatomy to ensure a natural and balanced result. Men typically have larger bone structures and more defined facial features than women. Therefore, the amount of filler used for male patients should be less than that for female patients. Overfilling in male patients can create a feminized appearance, which most men do not desire.

Additionally, when injecting filler into a male patient's face, it is important to pay close attention to the placement of the product. Men tend to want a more subtle enhancement than females, so the filler should be placed precisely to avoid over-enhancement of any area. A skilled injector will take this into account and work with the patient to create a natural-looking and balanced result.

Dermal filler is an excellent option for male patients seeking non-surgical facial rejuvenation. When considering filler for men, it is important to work with a skilled injector who understands the anatomical differences between male and female patients. Natural-looking results can be achieved by considering the male face's unique characteristics, including a desire for subtle enhancement and careful placement of the product.

Where areas can I treat with Dermal Fillers for Men?

At Silk Clinical Aesthetics we have a wealth of experience using dermal fillers to smooth, lift, and accentuate various parts of the face. By injecting these fillers beneath the skin surface, they provide structural support to the underlying dermis and diminish wrinkles while strengthening the facial contours.

In the case of male patients, dermal fillers offer a range of options that include;

Reducing jowls.
Adding definition to weak jawlines or chins.
Minimising facial creases and fine lines.
Improving the appearance of acne scars.
Adding subtle volume in the tear troughs to reduce hollowing, dark circles and fine lines.

After assessing your areas of concern, lead nurse injector Shontelle will tailor a treatment plan that aligns with your goals while assuring a masculine, attractive appearance.

Am I a suitable candidate for Dermal Filler for Men?

Dermal fillers are appropriate for numerous patients who want to augment their appearance by enhancing certain facial features. They are useful, especially for those who have lost facial volume due to aging or weight loss or for those who want to add more contours or definition. Despite the array of benefits, it's imperative to note that not everyone is a suitable candidate for dermal fillers. Those who may not be suitable to receive dermal fillers include those who;

Have a history of severe allergic reactions.
Have been diagnosed with autoimmune disorders, such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis.
Have been diagnosed with bleeding disorders or are taking blood-thinning medications such as aspirin, warfarin, or heparin.
Have any active skin infections.

To make sure your cosmetic goals and medical history align with the administration of dermal fillers, it is important that you seek consultation with a certified and experienced practitioner.

During your consultation, Silk Clinical Aesthetic's lead nurse injector Shontelle Prasad will evaluate your distinctive requirements and recommend a tailored treatment plan. The cost of the consultation appointment may be redeemed towards a treatment or product on the day.

I recently visited Silk Clinical and was impressed by their professionalism. Their waiting area was well-equipped for discreet visits, and I was promptly taken into the clinical room for my consultation and treatment. The injector effectively accommodated my concerns and produced subtle results that were not overtly noticeable to others, but were noticeable to me.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are a non-surgical cosmetic treatment used to restore volume and plumpness to the skin. They are typically made from hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in the body, and are injected into specific areas of the face or body to smooth out wrinkles, fine lines and folds. Read more

Are Dermal Fillers the same as Anti-wrinkle Injections?

At Silk Clinical Aesthetics, we proudly offer our clients both anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers, which can be used individually or together to achieve a harmonious and youthful appearance. Anti-wrinkle injections expertly target dynamic wrinkles that develop from repeated facial expressions. Despite their common association with dermal fillers, these injections employ a distinct methodology. Temporarily paralysing facial muscles can smooth existing wrinkles and even prevent new ones from forming. We specifically utilise this technique to treat forehead, eyebrow and crow’s feet lines and as a medical remedy for hyperhidrosis. In contrast, dermal fillers target static wrinkles that appear due to changes in the skin due to ageing. By adding volume to specific areas of the face, they smooth and contour wrinkles in the lower regions of the face.

What does the procedure involve?

Items must be returned within 30 days after receiving your order. Items must be returned in the same condition in which they were received, be unworn/unused, have any tags still attached, and include all the original packaging.

When can I expect to see results and how long do they last?

After receiving dermal filler treatments, there is virtually no downtime. This means you can schedule your procedure during lunch and return to your daily activities right after. You will see initial results immediately, but it takes about four weeks for the filler to fully integrate into the tissue to produce the final result. You can schedule a complimentary review appointment in two weeks to assess and make adjustments as needed.

It's important to note that dermal fillers offer temporary results. They are gradually metabolised by the body over 6-18 months depending on several factors, including the area treated, the type of filler used, and personal characteristics such as metabolic rate and nutritional supplementation. Regular follow-up treatments can help maintain your results for an extended period. We will work with you to establish an optimal maintenance schedule and advise you on the expected duration of your dermal filler injections.
