Even now, in the age of the rapid development of innovative technologies, it is quite difficult to meet a male cosmetologist. Men believe that this profession is not "masculine" enough, not at all solid and not even interesting. But this is not so, because cosmetologists today successfully use the latest developments in the field of science in their work, work with revolutionary technologies that sometimes even seem unrealistic.
Here you need the endurance of a real man, his considerable creative abilities and the ability to apply strict logic. It is in this profession that a man – a specialist in the field of aesthetic medicine can reveal his talents in all its splendor.
One of the clearest proofs that a male cosmetologist can be extremely successful and in great demand – Levon Chakhoyan, cosmetologist, author of the most interesting master classes, having several serious scientific papers on contouring, consultant at Merz Corporation.

Levon Robertovich, why did you, a plastic surgeon, decide to come to cosmetology
I came to aesthetic medicine not from a simple desire to do plastic surgery, but rather from aesthetic motives. I have always tried to delay plastic surgery as much as possible, if a person could be helped in non-surgical ways. That's why I was interested in cosmetology. But when I see that it is impossible to do without the operation, then I recommend it.
In any case, I use cosmetic methods to successfully prepare for the operation, as well as for easier and faster rehabilitation after it.
It turns out that a beautician helps a plastic surgeon. And vice versa?
In cosmetology, just like in aesthetic surgery, knowledge of anatomy is invaluable. But to know the structure of living tissues in theory – this is one thing, but seeing them live on the operating table – completely different. And only thanks to my surgical experience, during the aesthetic procedure, I understand exactly which layer I am inserting, for example, a cannula or a needle, and why exactly I am doing this.

Is a female beautician different from a male beautician
Actually, yes. A man and a woman have a completely different perception of the patient's face, a completely different approach to the procedure, and the taste is also different. It is natural for any man to want to see a woman attractive, and as a beautician, I can also contribute to this.
It turns out that a man who wants to undergo cosmetic procedures should preferably contact a female beautician
It's not quite that simple. Women are more sensitive to how they look. They care about the outcome of the procedure. And that's okay. For men, a clear understanding of what and how will happen is much more important. The doctor needs to understand the doubts and fears of the patient, to give professional explanations – and here the abilities of a specialist do not depend on his gender.
The cosmetologist should not be chosen by his gender, but based on his professionalism, patient feedback on his work and other factors.
And people of different sexes have the same aesthetic problems
Problems of this nature are not divided by gender, they are similar for everyone. However, a different approach is still needed. The fact is that the skin types and facial structure of men and women are completely different.
You are using some kind of cosmetic procedure for yourself
Of course, I use the services of a beautician. I do deep thermolifting, Botox injections. I like contour plastic. Everything that I offer to my patients, I do to myself.
You like contouring because it is considered an innovative method
Most likely, due to the fact that the contour injection technique itself, just like the drugs used for it, has been tested by time. For me, this is extremely important, because I believe that a filler can be used no earlier than three years after its appearance and approbation in practical medicine.
It is very important to me to ensure the complete safety of the patient. And in order to protect the patient, it is necessary to carry out contouring correctly. The second advantage of it is that it gives an effect very quickly. That is, the patient is made only three small punctures on each side, and he regains his young face. Special atraumatic cannulas are used for injection plasty.
Thus, visible swelling and bruising can be dispensed with, and almost immediately the patient is ready to return to normal life.

And if a person is very afraid of injections
The doctor himself plays a big role here - his confidence in his work, his qualifications and other factors. Personally, as a cosmetologist, almost all procedures for many patients are performed without anesthesia.
At what age can contouring be done
It is rather carried out not according to biological age, but as needed.

You say that time-tested drugs are safe. What is the reason why it is impossible to carry out injection plastic surgery during pregnancy?
The point here is not that fillers are harmful to health, but that the injection is stressful for both the woman and the fetus too.
Are there any fillers in cosmetology that contain other preparations than hyaluron
Yes, there are many – and with polylactic acid, and based on hydroxyapatite. They are introduced in completely different ways, and their effectiveness depends on the cosmetologist - his professionalism and ability to use drugs. The cosmetologist needs to be fluent in the methods of introducing a particular filler.
What happens to the drug after it is injected
If the drug is injected correctly, into the right layer, then it will be laid in about a couple of weeks. Cells gradually begin to be attracted to the corrected zone, and the entire blood circulation is restructured; The filler is gradually introduced into the patient's own tissues. After about a couple of months, the filler slowly breaks down and is completely eliminated from the body.
And if you inject more drug than necessary, what can happen
This effect is called "hypercorrection". The patient will have too large cheekbones, unpleasantly shapeless and ugly lips - the so-called pillow face. Unfortunately, this problem exists. There are patients who really do not know the measure, and doctors who indulge them in this.
But the ability to refuse your patients is, by the way, a sign of a professional. You need to tell the patient if he is wrong about the assessment of his problem and, in his opinion, the necessary changes in the face.
If it so happens that the patient does not like the result of injections, is there a possibility to eliminate everything?
Yes, an unsuccessful result can be eliminated. Any drug based on hyaluronic acid can be removed using hyaluronidase or longidase.
They say that these drugs can cause pigment spots in the correction zone? What to do in this case?
Pigmentation is often caused by a filler that is injected superficially. Often this can manifest itself in the paraorbital zone (around the eyes). The reason is the wrong choice of the drug, the wrong depth of its introduction.
It is possible to eliminate this shortcoming with the help of a laser. A combination of methods gives particularly good results. We were lucky, and we live in the era of the heyday of cosmetology. Now well-chosen procedures and a professional approach of a doctor can work real miracles!
What do you think awaits us in terms of the development of cosmetic procedures
Already now, injection plastic surgery has made a grandiose revolution in cosmetology. We are waiting for incredible discoveries from the medical world. I would like to hope that in the near future there will be such a breakthrough that a patient will not need a surgical operation until the age of 60. For us, this is real happiness!
