What Is Rejuvenation?
Rejuvenation is a process that helps in the reversal of the aging process using practical methods. Since it is the reversal of aging, thus it needs a different strategy, namely repair of the damage that takes place with aging or replacement of damaged tissue with new tissue. Rejuvenation can be a way of life extension, but many life extension strategies do not indulge in rejuvenation.

Various skin treatments are available depending on the skin type and existing problems. A few treatments are frequently needed to get the best outcomes with skin treatments. Over time, diligent use of the specified skin care treatments can help in the delaying of the onset of wrinkles.

What Is Facial Rejuvenation for Men?
The face of a man can be rejuvenated in many ways. In-clinic skin treatments have an advantage compared to in-house creams and lotions. Facial at the clinic, once-a-month can be productive in the long term towards keeping skin away from many issues. It is a misconception amongst various people that cosmetic treatments and non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatments are available only for women. In the last decade, there has been a shift in the attitude of men toward looking younger, refreshed, and well-rested appearance, and it has become more socially acceptable for men to be concerned about their skin.
What Are the Facial Rejuvenation Options Available for Men?
Skin rejuvenation treatments for men are available at various places today. Some of these treatments are
1. Anti-wrinkle Injections:
This treatment comprises a series of botulinum toxin injections into the facial muscles of men. The injection works by blocking the message from a nervous system that allows the muscles to contract and instead makes them relax. This relaxation of the muscles helps in the reduction of the appearance of wrinkles. Treatment time needed for getting anti-wrinkle injections takes a few minutes only. With the help of a small needle, an injection is injected, so there is very little discomfort. No downtime is present, but minor bruising might be present. It frequently takes nearly 7 to 14 days to take full effect and can last up to three to four months. The most usual places at which men get anti-wrinkle injections are:
- At the corners of the eyes for the prevention of crow’s feet.
- Between the eyebrows for targetting frown lines.
- In the forehead for the reduction of creases.
- Around the mouth for targeting the laugh lines.
2. HydraFacial:
Hydrafacial is a skin resurfacing treatment done to obtain the results of an advanced facial in only 30 minutes. It is a dermabrasion treatment with a very minute and light chemical peel. It comprises a deep clean and exfoliation. Extractions and a hydrating, antioxidant rejuvenation for instantly brighter, cleaner, and clearer skin are done. It refreshes, soothes, and is a non-irritating, and immediately effective procedure. A hydra facial treatment can be done in 30 minutes only. No downtime and no side effects are present. The hydrating effects and radiant skin tone might last for five days or longer. Hydra facial is not advised for serious lines or wrinkles. It also does not stop the skin from sagging, but it is the fastest and painless method of giving a refreshed and rejuvenated tone to the skin. Treatments are advised monthly to improve the appearance of fine lines, blackheads, oily or clogged skin, and pigmentation issues like brown patches.
3. Laser Genesis:
Laser genesis is a non-invasive laser treatment that makes use of micro-pulse technology. It has the best results for anti-aging, scars, pigmentation, skin rejuvenation, redness, and so much more. It is a gentle, quick, painless procedure and can be done easily. This heat-based laser stimulates the natural healing processes of the body to boost the growth of collagen, which results in giving the skin a more youthful skin tone and texture. The treatment time required for most laser genesis treatments is around 30 minutes, but it relies on the number of areas being treated. There is zero downtime. Some patients might get temporary redness, that dissipates that same day. Patients can expect their results to last for around 6 to 12 months.
4. Dermal Fillers:
Dermal fillers are hyaluronic acid-based substances that naturally exist in the body. Injecting dermal filler into the skin works to plump and restore volume to the skin. This minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by ‘filling’ them back in. As the changes in the face take place over time, dermal fillers allow the skin to control the looks subtly with age. Dermal fillers can be used for smoothening facial lines and wrinkles, creating volume shaping facial contours, like cheeks and chin, and revitalizing the skin. The treatment time required for an average procedure usually does not last more than 30 to 60 minutes. Patients can return to the workplace directly after the procedure, but swelling and some bruising can be seen for the time being. The lasting effects can be for around six months to two years as on the type of filler used and how the body metabolizes it.
5. Chemical Peels:
Chemical peels are cosmetic procedures where a chemical solution can be applied to the face, hands, and neck. The chemical results in the skin to exfoliate and peel off ultimately. They assist in improving the esthetics or feel of the skin. All chemical peels work by removing a layer of damaged skin. There are multiple types of peels, light, medium, and deep. Mild peels assist in eliminating the top layer of sun damage, while stronger peels eliminate cells at a deeper level. The treatment time lasts around 30 minutes to 90 minutes. There is some healing time that relies on the type of treatment. The side effects seen are temporary and include redness, dryness, stinging or burning, and slight swelling. A light, or superficial, peel produces results that frequently last between one and two months. A medium peel’s results last for around two and six months, and the results of a deep peel will last forever.
