Best Skin Rejuvenation Treatments for Men

What do men ask Dr. Godley about?

A softening jawline. Heavier skin around the eyes. Deeper lines and folds. Looking older than they feel. And while men and women can benefit from many of the same treatments, the techniques used can be different.

Men tend to have thicker skin, stronger facial muscles, and different facial proportions. Their aesthetic goals can also be different. Features such as a strong jawline, flatter cheeks, and a natural brow position may be important to maintain, which can influence where a treatment is placed and how much is used.

Dr. Godley believes in taking a proactive approach to skin rejuvenation, both for his patients and himself. Radiesse and Morpheus8 are two treatments he believes strongly in and includes in his own approach to aging.

So, what is the best skin rejuvenation treatment for men? There isn't one. The right treatment depends on what's causing the change, your anatomy, and what you want to address.

Here are some of the treatments Dr. Godley may recommend.

Radiesse for facial structure and definition

If your face is starting to look less defined with age, Radiesse may be an option. It’s an injectable that provides support right away while also encouraging your body to make more collagen and elastin, which help keep your skin firm and strong.

For men, Radiesse can be placed along the cheeks, jawline, and lower face to restore some of what has been lost while maintaining stronger facial angles. The goal is to bring back definition without making the face look fuller or softer.

Morpheus8 for skin texture and laxity

But what if definition isn't the problem? Sometimes it's the skin that has changed. It may look looser, thinner, or less smooth than it used to. Morpheus8 uses tiny needles and radiofrequency energy to encourage your skin to make more collagen. This can improve firmness and texture over time.

For men, Morpheus8 can be appealing because it addresses several signs of aging in one type of treatment. The changes happen gradually, which can be a good fit if you want to look better without making it obvious you've had a treatment.

Thread lift for a softening jawline and jowls

A strong jawline can be one of the first things you miss as the lower face starts to change. Looser tissue can soften the jawline and eventually create jowls.

A thread lift works differently from an injectable treatment. Instead of placing a product beneath the skin, dissolvable threads are used to physically lift and reposition tissue. As the threads gradually dissolve, they also encourage collagen production.

For men, a thread lift can help bring back a stronger jawline by lifting tissue that has started to sag.

Evangeline PRF for tired looking eyes

You can be well rested and still look tired. The skin under the eyes is naturally thin, and as it changes with age, the area can start to look crepey, hollow, or darker.

Evangeline PRF is a regenerative treatment made from a small sample of your blood. The blood is processed to concentrate platelets, growth factors, and fibrin, which are then used to support collagen production and improve the skin.

For men noticing changes around the eyes, PRF offers a regenerative approach that focuses on improving the skin itself over time.

Neuromodulators for expression lines

Repeated facial movements can eventually leave lines that are visible even when your face is relaxed. Neuromodulators such as Botox relax these muscles to soften them.

This is one area where treating men can require a different approach. Men often have stronger facial muscles, which can affect how much neuromodulator is needed. The placement can be different too. A higher, more arched brow may be a goal for some women, while many men prefer to keep a flatter brow. Dr. Godley uses his understanding of facial anatomy and how each patient's muscles move to adjust where and how much he injects. This is where both medical knowledge and an artistic eye come into treatment.

Where do you start?

Start with the goal, not the treatment.

You don't need to know whether you need Radiesse, Morpheus8, PRF, threads, or a neuromodulator before you come in. That's what the consultation is for.

Dr. Godley will assess what's changing, what you want to maintain, and what you want to improve before discussing your options.
