"Will people notice? Will I look frozen? Do I need time off work?" The 3 questions every man asks us

More and more men are walking through our clinic doors. And almost all of them arrive with the same three questions. Here are our answers, straight.

1. "Will people notice?"

It's the number one fear: that coworkers, friends or family will notice "something." The truth is that a good result doesn't look like a treatment. People tell you that you look rested, fit, well-slept.

To get there, we work with conservative doses and respect masculine features: a clean jawline, a chin that projects forward, low, straight brows. We'd rather do a little less and adjust at the follow-up than overdo it.

2. "Will I look frozen?"

Not if the dosing is right. The goal of wrinkle injections for men isn't to erase all expression, but to soften lines while keeping movement. You'll still be able to frown, smile and look expressive.

Men often have stronger muscles and may need more units than women. That's exactly why dosing has to be tailored to you, not copied from a standard protocol. We also keep the brow low and flat: a raised, arched brow is what creates the "surprised" or "done" look.

3. "Do I need time off work?"

In most cases, no. You can come in on your lunch break and go back to work afterward.

• Wrinkle injections: about 15 minutes. Small red marks fade within an hour. The effect sets in over about two weeks.
• Fillers (jaw, chin): about 30 to 45 minutes. Mild swelling or bruising is possible for a few days.
• Morpheus8: redness for 1 to 3 days, like a mild sunburn.

A few simple rules: skip intense workouts for 24 hours, don't massage the treated area, and don't lie down for 4 hours after wrinkle injections. If you have a big presentation or event, book at least two weeks ahead.

What about discretion?

Everything said at consultation stays confidential. Many men start with a simple, no-commitment consultation just to ask their questions. That's exactly what it's for.
