Caring for beauty concerns everyone without exception. A modern man should pay enough attention and time to his appearance. A visit to a beautician for many men has long become the norm, because not only women want to look good and have a pleasant appearance. Under the influence of external factors, such as life in a metropolis, malnutrition, stress, men's skin requires careful care.
In an exclusive interview, a plastic surgeon, certified trainer of the Galderma company, head of the plastic surgery department of the Medissa clinic Sergey Derbak spoke about the main fears that haunt a man before coming to a beautician, as well as the most popular procedures.
All about cosmetic procedures for men
What are the popular cosmetic procedures for men?
The most popular procedures for men are biorevitalization, filling in lost skin volume, correction of the periorbital area, filling in deep wrinkles of the forehead and bridge of the nose.
What fears does a man face before coming to a beautician?
The main fear of a man is to step over the threshold of the cosmetologist's office, and just decide to come to the procedure. Men are much more afraid of injections and pain in general than women. It is not easy to admit a man to himself and to voice the problem to a specialist. The psychological aspects are the most important, an approach is needed here, you need to find the key that can help a particular male patient. Their main fear – psychological, it is difficult to agree in the head that something is wrong.
Have there been cases in your practice related to the fears of men?
Basically, it happens like this, when I make markings before the procedure or just consult the patient in front of the mirror, then every second man becomes ill, even fainting. It's very funny, they always say "come on, I'm not afraid", and as soon as they see a syringe, they faint - it's fun to watch.
What are the difficulties in counseling and post-procedure period?
The difficulties lie in the fact that a man needs to explain everything very clearly at a consultation or before the procedure about all kinds of rehabilitation options and possible complications. I can say that, since men cling to the spoken words, since they control everything after the – women don't even come close. And basically the difficulties after the procedure are related to the lack of agreement at the initial consultation about the possible consequences and the course of the process.
Second moment, men want a clear plan inside and out, they all want to know when everything will end, when a wrinkle will be filled, when some problem on the face will pass, and everything is in numbers. Male patients want specifics, they are more specific in their thinking, but a woman can be explained what we will do, and "it will get better."
What are the technical difficulties when working with a male face, and what are the main differences from a female one?
Technical difficulties when working with a male face are associated with the difference in tissues, their density and anatomy features. Otherwise, technically almost everything is the same.
The most popular procedures for men in my practice are Restylane® («Restylane») – this is Vital Light (Vital Light).
Why do I like using Restylane® products? Because, as I said, men want to predict the outcome. To date, hyaluronic acid preparations Restylane® ("Restylane") are valuable because they are very predictable, as well as very plastic and well integrated into tissues. We can easily predict the result that we planned for the consultation.
I would like to note that perline and define are ideal for filling the lost volumes of the face in men. These preparations are easily injected and give a natural, predictable and prolonged result.
What is your personal secret of working with men?
The secret of working with men probably lies in the fact that I myself am a man, and I understand their psychology, I can play along at the right moment, and put pressure at the right moment.
I want to give advice to all male patients – no need to be afraid. If it is possible to drive a good car, then you need to buy it, the same with appearance. Why go around with an ugly, old or problematic face, if you can go to a beautician? After all, today's methods of rejuvenation are absolutely safe, very fast in rehabilitation and very effective. You need to boldly go, and most importantly – don't be shy.
