Q.
Dear Dr Richards.
I’m a 29 year old male and I have a single deep Glabella line. It is fairly deep and has become more noticeable over the past few years. I want to know if there is a permanent solution to reducing or removing this line, or what other options are available.
Any information you could provide me with I would be grateful as I’m confused about dermal / Botox and laser.
Regards!

Thank you for your enquiry. The normal way of reducing glabella lines is with botox therapy. Botox works by relaxing the muscle and it is the muscle tht causes the line. Botox acutally can become quite a permanent procedure if you do repeat it over a couple of years as the muscle that produces the frown line starts to weaknen. There are other alternatives which involves more permanent reduction but these do require an operation. I think it would be worthwhile considering botox as an option and if you feel you would like to schedule a possible consultation to discus the best way forward for you pelase contact us on 01844 214362.

I am a male looking to have dermal filler treatment. Do many men have this treatment? Any advice?

Q.
I’m just enquiring about myself actually, i was a bit embarrassed to go into a clinic . It’s not the most manly thing to have done is it? I just really wanted to know more about it, because a man’s skin is obviously a bit thicker and i have stubble as well, so i didn’t know if it would have any affect. I particularly wanted some kind of dermal filler on my forehead and around my eyes? What type of filler do you usually use for that? Is it quite rare to have a male patient wanting dermal fillers? Thanks Adrian mate!

Hi

Thank you very much for your enquiry.

Generally with men we recommend botox therapy for around the forehead and eyes as this gives a more natural appearance.

The reason for this is the lines in the frown and crows feet area are caused by muscle contraction and the ideal way of treating them is by relaxing the muscle.

Botulinum Toxin is the ideal way to treat this area naturally as dermal fillers in this area can look slightly unnatural.

If you feel you would like to schedule a consultation most doctors are very understanding and it is a very common procedure performed on men.

Good luck if you decided to go ahead with treatment.
