What is face contouring for men?

Would you like to enhance your masculine side and give yourself that extra edge in life? Psychological studies have shown that in the world of business, first impressions matter. As well as smart dress sense and a natural air of confidence, facial features can also play a part. Attributes perceived as “masculine”, such as a square jaw or pronounced cheekbones can not only convey a sense of power to the outside world, they can also instill confidence in the person themselves.

Our Masculine Max Face Contouring for Men is a combination treatment plan designed to emphasise and strengthen your facial contours without surgery. Each course is tailored for YOU and your own goals and needs. The aim is to give you that extra step ahead in life, be it in the workplace or in the social arena. The high-flyer package deal, so to speak

How does face contouring for men work?

Masculine Max Face Contouring for Men is a combination treatment, tailored to each individual based on their own situation and needs. Typically, each face contouring treatment will involve the use of dermal fillers and/or collagen stimulants, although other medical aesthetic procedures may also be used, including Thread Lifts Dermal fillers are injectable substances that are absorbed by the skin to instantly add volume and create a lifting effect.

They are 100% natural and are slowly broken down by the body over time. Some face contouring treatments also trigger the production of collagen, which is the main constituent of skin, bones, muscles and ligaments.

Dermal fillers can be fantastic for reversing the appearance of ageing. However, in the hands of a skilled doctor, they can also be used to strengthen the facial contours, squaring off the jawline and emphasising the cheekbones. Ultimately, fillers can be used to enhance your facial features and give you a more masculine appearance.

We stock only the highest quality and most popular products including:

- Ellansé

- Juvederm

- Radiesse

- MaiLi

- Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Fillers

Note that in every case, our experienced doctor will assess your own situation and speak to you in order to understand what it is you hope to achieve.

How long do male face contouring treatments take to work?

This will depend on the product(s) being used, but the effects from most dermal fillers can be seen almost immediately. Many fillers also trigger the production of collagen and elastin in the skin for a long-lasting effect.

Some injectables, such as Lanluma, work entirely to stimulate the production of collagen in your skin, meaning results are gradual. They typically peak at around two to three months.

What is the downtime of male face contouring treatments?

Again, this depends on your package and the product(s) being used. Most fillers usually have minimal downtime. You may experience minor bruising and swelling at the point of injection. This will be discussed with you during your comprehensive, no-obligation consultation.

Do face contouring treatments for men hurt?

Discomfort is minimal for most face contouring for men treatments and local anaesthesia is used for the injections.

How many face contouring treatments are needed?

Each case is different. Patients will typically require a variety of dermal fillers and different amounts to achieve their ideal outcome. Based on an individualised treatment plan, Masculine Max Face Contouring for Men combines the best treatments tailored especially for you and your needs.

What is AgeDefiance Contouring for Men?

If you aspire to maintain your youthful looks, then you have multiple options available without resorting to surgery. Our Age Defiance Contouring for Men is a combination treatment plan that is tailored especially towards your own needs and goals.

During your initial consultation, our doctor will help you create an individual plan designed to re-strengthen your face’s natural shape and reverse the appearance of ageing. Each package uses the latest and safest advances in medical aesthetics, and all our procedures produce results that are long-lasting and 100% natural.

How do the Age Defiance Contouring packages for Men work?

Ageing is caused by a gradual weakening of the skin’s cellular structures and a slowing down of its renewal process. Underneath our skin’s outer layer, there is a support network of connective tissues, which keeps our skin firm and fresh. Over time, this system gradually degenerates, causing the skin structure to change. This can lead to the formation of lines, wrinkles and grooves. The skin can lose its elasticity and begin to sag, and it can also appear thinner. This can lead to the onset of concerns such as sagging skin around the jaw (jowls), shallow cheeks, and an undefined jawline. Other factors such as stress, lifestyle and genetics can speed up this process. Men are just as susceptible to ageing as women, and it can hamper confidence and sense of identity. But you don’t need to worry!

At Vie Aesthetics, we offer a variety of treatments that can combat this. One of the most popular methods for restoring lost volume and redefining facial contours caused by ageing are FILLERS and LIQUID FACELIFTS. We stock only the highest quality and most popular products including Ellansé, Radiesse, Profhilo, and Fillers from Juvederm®, MaiLi®,and Belotero® These are injected at precise points by our skilled doctors for optimal results.

Dermal fillers are injectable substances that are absorbed by the skin to instantly add volume and create a lifting effect. Some products also trigger the production of collagen, which is the main constituent of skin, bones, muscles and ligaments. Dermal fillers are 100% natural and are slowly broken down by the body over time.

Thread Lifts such as Silhouette Soft®, Ultra V Mini Threads, and Elionce™, ReLife, PDO Threads essentially involve a thread being placed under the skin to give an instant tightening and lifting effect. The thread itself is slowly and naturally absorbed into your skin after application. Threads and dermal fillers can be very well combined to maximise the impact and produce a naturallooking result.

How long do treatments take to work?

This will depend on the product(s) being used and the type of face contouring treatment. However, the effects from most dermal fillers and thread lifts can be seen almost immediately.

Many fillers, like Ellansé, also trigger the production of collagen and elastin in the skin for a long-lasting effect. Some injectables are formulated exclusively to stimulate the production of new collagen. Results from these are more gradual, and typically peak at around two to three months.

How many Age Defiance Contouring for Men treatments are needed?

Each case is different. A treatment plan will be discussed and devised with you during your initial, no-obligation consultation with the doctor.

How does Body Sculpting for Men work?

To address stubborn pockets of fat, we use combinations of a variety of NON-SURGICAL body contouring treatments, including:

1. BodyTite™ Body Contouring: An innovative, non-surgical procedure that uses Radio Frequency delivered into the specific targeted layer via a device and using a cannula to liquefy fat enhance the body’s natural contours with minimal invasion. With permanent results, BodyTite™ melts away targeted fat while simultaneously smoothing and tightening skin.

2. VieCryo Fat Freezing: A popular, non-surgical lipolysis solution for eliminating targeted areas of fat and for toning your body shape. A sophisticated and top of the range device is used to freeze troublesome fat cells, causing them to be destroyed.

3. Body Contouring with Aqualyx®: an injectable lipolysis procedure that liquifies fat cells. By injecting a special solution directly into the body’s fat deposits, unwanted fat can be minimised or even eliminated without the stress of surgery.

4. The 9-Week BSP (Body Sculpting Programme) for men: a great protocol using a course of nine sessions over nine weeks combining the technologies of infrared lipolysis, ultrasonic cavitation, radio frequency, and shock wave therapy to tone, tighten and sculpt. Unlike liposuction, this is a non-invasive procedure that is able to destroy unwanted stubborn fat without surgery. This is programme includes both a medical grade topical lipolysis. For toning and lifting, treatments include:

5. Endopeel: This is a revolutionary injectable treatment to aid skintightening and muscle-toning. A special patented lifting solution is injected into an area of muscle laxity and loose skin, causing them to reshape and reposition.

What is BodyTite™ Body Contouring?

This a revolutionary non-surgical procedure that removes stubborn fat and tightens skin. BodyTite™ uses Radio Frequency energy (RF) to enhance your body’s natural contours with minimal invasion. It melts away targeted fat, while simultaneously smoothing and tightening skin.

Results are permanent and procedures are entirely safe. With minimal downtime and no scarring, it is a fantastic alternative to traditional surgical liposuction, especially as it also addresses the crucial issue of skin laxity that other body contouring procedures do not. Although BodyTite™ Body Contouring is not a weight loss program, it is very effective for toning areas that are prone to storing fat.

How does BodyTite™ work?

BodyTite™ Body Contouring uses innovative Radio Frequency (RF) technology to liquefy fat, which is then drained from the body. During procedures, our qualified doctor makes a very tiny incision in the treatment area, through which to transmit the RF energy. This not only melts down the fat cells, it has the added benefit of heating the soft tissue and stimulating the production of collagen fibres.

Over time, the collagen production causes your skin to tighten, strengthen and rejuvenate for a fresher, smoother appearance. BodyTite™ sessions last less a couple of hours. The liquefied fat is absorbed and eliminated by the body and, unlike surgical liposuction, the doctor makes no large incisions and the procedure is minimally invasive.

How long does BodyTite™ take to work?

You will then notice improvements in the ensuing weeks and months. This is while the new collagen production continues to tighten your skin. Peak results can usually be experienced from between three to six months, although everybody is different.

What is the downtime for BodyTite™?

Unlike during surgical liposuction, downtime after BodyTite™ is relatively minimal.

You may experience some soreness, bruising or swelling in the treated area. This usually lasts for a few days. Our doctor will discuss with you the necessary aftercare and recuperation, and will monitor your progress in a follow-up appointment.

How many BodyTite™ treatments will I need?

Everyone is different. How many treatments of BodyTite™ Body Contouring you require will depend on your own situation and goals. However, results are permanent. In many cases, a single procedure may be enough for your desired look. This will be discussed with you during your initial consultation.

Note that BodyTite™ can also be combined with other body contouring treatments or our medical weight loss clinic as part of a specialised plan. Our doctor will also help you create your own treatment plan tailored towards your own needs.

Does BodyTite™ hurt?

A local anaesthetic is applied to the treated areas to minimise any discomfort.
