Staying ahead in today’s competitive workplace by appearing youthful is an experience some men are facing at a surprising young age.
The 2019 Hiscox Ageism in the Workplace Study found 21% of those over 40 had experienced ageism in the workplace. Among workers aged 40 and over, there is a perception that they are somehow, “washed up professionally” and that they are seen by their younger co-workers as being “set in their ways, not tech-savvy and unmotivated.” While unjustified, this trend applies to both men and women and may be present in some sectors more than others, such as tech.
Men are increasingly looking for solutions to project an image of youthful vitality. Staying fit, mentally nimble, and socially current are among the strategies. Building on the benefits of physical maintenance are non invasive, age correcting treatments for the face, neck, body and skin. The number of men undergoing non surgical procedures more than doubled between 2000 and 2016. Rather than looking weary or worried when in stressful high demand situations, these treatments make it possible to appear fresh faced, relaxed and naturally expressive.
At Live Young Medical we are seeing an increase in the number of men seeking anti-aging treatments and skincare. They are discovering how easy and discreet it is to obtain clear, taught skin and a more attractive, defined look with minimal downtime. Below are some effective options for natural results.
Dr Sweeney is a firm believer in a holistic approach to aging. Using the DESSERT strategy for a healthy lifestyle, managing good stress and sleep practices, and maintaining youthful healthy hormone levels are the cornerstones for feeling your best and to slow the aging process internally. Optimally men will be looking after both internal and external aging influences and typically when you feel good on the inside you want your outward appearance to reflect that.
BOTOX COSMETIC®
Botox® is a common 1st treatment choice because it is a non invasive and relatively painless choice of treatment to effectively treat aging concerns around their eyes, forehead and brow to lift the brows for a more alert appearance and to smooth frown and worry lines and crow’s feet.
JUVÉDERM® Dermal or Soft Tissue Filler
Dermal fillers are used to address age related changes such as sagging and hollowing in the cheek, temples and other parts face that cause a tired or haggard appearance. They are also used to define the chin and jawline, to lighten under-eye circles and manage hardness and frowning around the mouth.
IPL Photorejuvenation
Photorejuvenation is a mild laser treatment that addresses sun damaged and aging skin by treating excessive brown pigmentation and redness from broken blood vessels. An even skin tone goes a long way to making the skin look vital and younger. Most commonly treated areas are the face and neck.
Fractional Resurfacing
The SmartXide Dot is a laser peel that does more than treat skin discoloration. It is used to address dull, wrinkled, and leathery skin. This is a more in-depth treatment than other peels and IPL; typical recovery time is 5-7 days. It can be used on the neck and hands as well as the face.
Profound® Radiofrequency/Microneedling and BELKYRA ™
Profound® Radiofrequency/Microneedling and BELKYRA ™ are two procedures Dr. Sweeney uses to treat a double chin or “submental fullness.”
Profound® Radiofrequency/Microneedling is a treatment that combines the benefits of deep micro-needling with radiofrequency to reduce the fat layer that causes a double chin and to tighten the overlying skin by generating new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid within the skin. It is also used more widely to tighten the skin in the mid and lower face and neck and for mild to moderate face and neck lines.
BELKYRA ™
Belykra ™ is another treatment used to treat a double chin. It is a naturally based solution that is injected directly into the chin fat pad to dissolve fat cells and creates a more defined chin and jawline. It works as a treatment series.
