“What Men Want….May Not Be What You Think” The new edge of handsome in men has very little to do with lines and wrinkles – BOTOX just isn’t as big a player for men as it is for women. So what do guys want? I believe that cosmetic medicine providers have missed the answer to this question by a mile.
Answering this question requires that we remember that “Women are from Venus and Men are from Mars” – or as was said to me recently “Women are from Paris and Men are from Jersey.” Men are not too worried about growing older – but they don’t want to be perceived as looking old. After all there are many men in their 40s and 50s who look “distinguished” with gray hair and a few facial wrinkles. Men don’t want to be left out of that group of guys with an “I can get it done, don’t count me out” look.
So let’s talk about where it counts for men and we will make a list that can really make a difference.
- Highest on the list for guys is that jowl and the area under the chin. Laser lipolysis on a Friday will have you back to work on Monday.
- Next is probably those eyes, the droopy upper lids and most important those deep under the eye shadows, so forget surgery, what about the skilled physician administered use of Restylane micro injection to lift out those shadows, a maybe as well some of those deeper fold lines. Oh, and what about a series of Thermage treatments to tighten up those upper lids as well.
There are plenty of other cosmetic treatments men are into. Guys – now’s your chance – tell me what’s on your mind and what you’re thinking of having to look your best.
