Our favourite preventative aging treatments for men
Dermatologist Recommendations for Men's Anti-Aging Skin Care Solutions
Did you know that men are the fastest growing segment of the aesthetics industry? While cosmetic treatments are often marketed primarily to women, in recent years we’ve seen more and more male patients opt for these treatments, citing reasons ranging from wanting to look less stressed or angry, to simply taking some time out for self-care and increased well-being. With this in mind (and with Father’s Day on the horizon) we wanted to share some of our favourite treatments for men.
Brotox.
In recent years, we’ve witnessed the rise of “Brotox”—a cheeky term that was coined for male neuromodulator treatments. With a few quick, effective injections performed by Dr. Sutton herself, unwanted facial wrinkles and lines are relaxed, leaving patients looking refreshed and healthy. With our male patients specifically, we most often perform treatments to soften the lines between the eyebrows that can make many look angry or stressed, or to soften the lines on the forehead. Results last approximately three to four months and fit easily into a busy schedule (lunchtime treatment, anyone?) with no downtime needed.
Dermal fillers.
As we age, both males and females alike begin to experience a slowing of collagen production that results in wrinkles, creases, and folds that can make us look older or more tired. Luckily, dermal fillers present a versatile solution for addressing these concerns. Of course, no two patients are alike, and regardless of gender Dr. Sutton will always perform a thorough assessment of a patient’s face and recommend treatments to balance and harmonize facial proportions and address concerns. Male patients are often concerned about filler treatments feminizing their features, but the truth is they can do just the opposite and are often applied to preserve or enhance masculine facial structure.

Ultherapy®
Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound energy to lift skin on the neck, the brow, and under the chin, as well as to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the neck and chest. The treatment works by initiating the body’s natural response to stimulate the growth of fresh, new collagen and strengthen weak collagen. For men who are looking for a quick, non-invasive procedure and results that last up to two years, Ultherapy may be the answer.

Skincare.
A customized, effective, science-based skincare regimen is for everyone, period. Because Dr. Sutton and her team perform an in-depth consultation to understand every patient’s unique skin profile, concerns, and goals, they’re able to recommend personalized skincare plans with products that directly address a patient’s specific needs. When developing routines for our male patients, our team will consider unique anatomy and skin type, as well as factors such as facial hair, post-shave care, lifestyle, habits, and preferences. Men’s skin deserves care too!
