Trends in Male Cosmetic Treatments |
|
Hint: Think Marvel Superheroes |
|
From the August, 2021 Allure |
According to the latest statistics from the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery(ISAPS), men currently make up about 13% of the demand for non-surgical cosmetic procedures. The Aesthetic Society reports that the number of male cosmetic procedures increased more than 325% since 1997 when the Society began its survey.
What Are The Motives & Drivers?
So, what is driving men to take the cosmetic procedure plunge? Several factors, according to Dr. Steinbrech, who edited the textbook Male Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.
First and foremost, social media is making it acceptable for men to flaunt their looks. They want to look better for the camera. Before social media became so prominent, men were shyer about taking off their shirts and posing for photos or videos. “Now, guys are showing little to almost no clothing just to get more eyes and more likes. We are seeing more male skin everywhere on social media,” Dr. Steinbrech commented.
Another factor fueling aesthetic demand among men: Marvel movies. Men want to be superheroes, just like in the movies, Dr.Steinbrech expressed.
“Marvel movies show men that have these very strong and chiseled jawlines. They also have great bodies,” Dr. Steinbrech said.“They are hyper-masculinized and are super-heroes. Men admire them and want to be like them. Women want to fall in love with them.”
One of the popular archetypes that Dr. Steinbrech has trademarked is called the Male Model Make Over, which he achieves with facial fillers.“We use injectables to create a more chiseled jawline and higher cheekbones. What this can do is transform you from a model that might be on the inside of a magazine to being the guy on the cover,” he said.

Zoom Dysmorphia Is Following Us Into The Real World |
|
Eighteen months of using front-facing cameras has distorted our self-image – and a new study reveals that the effects aren't going away easily |
|
Last summer, when clinics began to tentatively reopen, dermatologist Shadi Kourosh noticed a worrying trend – a spike in appointment requests for appearance-related issues. “It seemed that at a time like that other matters would be top of mind, but a lot of people were really concerned with feeling that they looked much worse than usual,” she says.
Kourosh, who is an assistant professor of dermatology at Harvard Medical School, soon discovered that others in her field had noticed a similar phenomenon. And when she and her colleagues asked patients what was driving their decision to seek treatment, a lot of them cited video-conferencing. The pandemic had catapulted them into a world of Zoom calls and Teams meetings, and staring at their own face on a screen all day every day was wreaking havoc with their self-image.
In the age of Zoom, people became inordinately preoccupied with sagging skin around their neck and jowls; with the size and shape of their nose; with the pallor of their skin. They wanted cosmetic interventions, ranging from Botox and fillers to face-lifts and nose jobs. Kourosh and colleagues surveyed doctors and surgeons, examining the question of whether video-conferencing during the pandemic was a potential contributor to body dysmorphic disorder. They called it ‘Zoom dysmorphia’.
Now, with the rise in vaccinations seemingly pushing the pandemic into retreat, new research from Kourosh’s group at Harvard has revealed that Zoom dysmorphia isn’t going away.

Is There A Way To Prevent Nose Droopage With Age? |
|
|
|
Whether it’s a sagging neck, greying hair, or an accumulation of dark spots, many of our features change as we age, but it may come as a surprise that our noses can change shape and size as we get older, too. While this fact may spark panic, doctors say it’s never too early to start investing in preventative measures and, on the other hand, it’s not too late to hit rewind.
Why do our noses droop with age?
“Our noses, just like any other part of our body, undergo predictable changes related to the effects of aging and gravity,” says New York facial plastic surgeon Edward S. Kwak, MD, who explains that nasal drooping typically starts in our late thirties and early forties. “During this time, the cartilage that comprises the shape of the tip loosens, causing the tip to derotate (droop) and splay (widen). These changes are a result of a loss of tone in the ligaments and a dramatic loss of collagen.”
What are ways to fix a drooping nose?
Dr. Hatef says intervention from a doctor is necessary to fix nasal tip aging. “There are a few ways we can correct an aging nasal tip in the office,” he says. “The first is by placing a bit of Botox or filler in the tip.
|
Skinspirations has several treatments that can help maintain a perky nose.
-
Muscle relaxers like Botox can stop the movement of the small muscle that pulls the tip of the nose down when you smile.
-
Absorbable threads inserted under the skin in the tip of the nose can not only help hold up the tip, they can make a nose appear narrower and straighter.
-
Dermal fillers can also be used to make a nose appear straighter &/or narrower.
The patient below had dermal filler to make the nose appear narrower and the tip to project more.

The Common Mistake That Can Lead To Mold Growing In Your Hair |
|
Mold revealed under Dr. Elliott's bun |
Maybe this explains why man buns aren't popular in Florida? |
|
And six other myths you need to rethink when it comes to handling wet hair. |
It’s a healthy-hair tale that’s told time & time again: Anything for your hair that involves heat-related styling is bad; anything that lets it dry naturally is good. That statement might have held some truth at one time, but with all the modern hair tools, updated product formulations & hard-working hair towels, it’s no longer that simple.
Myth 1: Going to bed with wet hair is a good idea.
In shocking-hair news, this “everyone has done it” habit can actually lead to mold growing on your scalp.
|
Obviously in Florida, where it's sweltering for about 10 months of the year, sweat can soak your hair in about 10 minutes.
Hyperhidrosis, which is a condition causing abnormally excessive sweating of the hands, the feet, the underarms, & the scalp, affects about 2 - 3 % of the population.
Because the amount of sweat produced is so much more than normal, it's a problem that can damage business & social interactions, stain clothing & cause embarrassment.
Luckily Botox, Dysport & Jeuveau treatment all can be used to prevent the excess sweating caused by hyperhidrosis when prescription medications aren't effective.
If you're suffering from hyperhidrosis & want to know your best treatment option, we'll be happy to discuss it with you during a complimentary consultation.
*You may have assumed that Dr. Elliott was setting a new fashion trend when she wears wrist sweatbands while she's doing treatments but it's actually because she has hyperhidrosis of her hands & she doesn't want to drip all over you. When she was 7, a doctor told her mother that she'd soon grow out of it & she's still waiting.
