How Cosmetic Injectables Can Help Men Look and Feel Great: Debunking the Myths and Understanding the Benefits

Posted September 2023

We field quite a few questions in our Port Macquarie and Kempsey clinics, and recently we’ve been getting more and more interest in cosmetic injectables for men. There are countless benefits to cosmetic injectables but with so many myths surrounding ‘getting work done’, it’s time to set the record straight.

The benefits of cosmetic injectables for men

For men, the perks of cosmetic injectables can be quite game-changing. Think reduced wrinkles, improved skin texture, and enhanced jawline definition – all contributing to a more youthful, vibrant appearance. Who wouldn't want that confidence boost?

Myth #1 Cosmetic injectables are just for women

Absolutely not! Whilst women do represent the majority of our clients, they certainly are not the only people we see in the clinic looking to feel more confident in their skin. Cosmetic injectables are also a great option for men who would like to treat wrinkles, ageing skin and revitalise the structure of their face. They won’t make you look more feminine or strange, they can actually enhance the masculine features of the face.

Myth #2 Cosmetic Injectables make you look ‘plastic’ and ‘frozen’

A common fear is that cosmetic injectables will result in an unnatural, frozen look. This fear is only amplified in our male clients. However, when administered by a skilled professional, they subtly enhance your features, maintaining your ability to express emotions naturally. At Port Medical Aesthetics Clinic, we’re all about delivering natural-looking results.

Myth #3 Cosmetic Injectables are Painful

We aren’t going to lie to you and tell you they’re completely pain-free. There will be a little discomfort experienced with the needles, and it varies from person to person. However, modern techniques and advancements have significantly reduced the discomfort associated with these treatments. Plus, we use numbing creams and precision techniques to make the experience as comfortable as possible.

What are the main cosmetic injectables that men opt for?

Anti-wrinkle injections

Commonly referred to as Botox® (however, this is just a brand name, like Panadol), anti-wrinkle injections all use the botulinum toxin to ‘turn off’ certain muscles that contract to cause wrinkles. The most commonly requested area is the frown line between the eyes, the lines on the forehead and often the crow’s lines around the eyes. A lifetime of hard work and sunshine can exacerbate these lines, and anti-wrinkle injections are a great option to soften and smooth these areas and prevent them from deepening.

There are also a number of non-cosmetic uses for anti-wrinkle injections. Anti-wrinkle injections can be highly effective when it comes to treating excessive sweating, jaw clenching or migraines!

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers can be used to add volume and definition to the cheeks, jawline and chin to give a more defined and youthful appearance. In fact, dermal fillers to the jawline are an increasingly popular treatment for men. Dermal fillers can also be used to treat acne scars!

Profhilo®

Profhilo® is an innovative new injectable hyaluronic acid treatment that boosts skin hydration and stimulates collagen production, resulting in revitalised, firmer skin.

What to Expect During a Consultation and Treatment

Curious but a bit anxious about what happens during a consultation and treatment? It’s not as scary as you might think. It starts with a consultation with one of the doctors at our clinic, where they’ll discuss your current concerns, what you’re hoping to achieve and what treatment will be right to get you there. We believe in only using subtle enhancements to achieve natural-looking results, so we will never recommend more than you need.
