Cosmetic Surgery for Men at Precision MD Cosmetic Surgery Center

Despite the rising popularity of cosmetic procedures, most people are unaware that aesthetic enhancements are common among men. Clinics such as California’s Precision MD Cosmetic Surgery Center have serviced their fair share of male patients and say that it is actually a rather common occurrence. More men are discovering the value of looking their best and are turning to cosmetic surgery to restore their appearance and boost their confidence.

Below, Precision MD Cosmetic Surgery Center outlines some of the most requested cosmetic surgeries for men.

Hair Transplants

For patients suffering from male pattern baldness, Precision MD Cosmetic Surgery Center offers a robotic hair transplant system. With more than two-thirds of American men experiencing some sort of hair loss before the age of 40, better and more efficient ways of hair transplant have been researched and engineered. They offer the ARTAS Robotic hair transplant system that allows for automated hair follicle extraction using technology to choose the most viable follicular units. At a consultation appointment with Precision MD Cosmetic Surgery Center, patients will be able to see a 3D model of the expected results through the use of ARTAS Hair Studio Technology, including approximately how many grafts will be needed and an idea of the future hairline. Through a procedure that requires 5–7 hours, an average of 1500 follicles will be selected for harvesting, and then implanted manually by the physician. The ARTAS system performs a quick scan every 20 milliseconds to determine the best places for harvesting to allow for the best results. It will take 7–10 days to heal from the procedure, and you will be able to notice even hair growth about 1 year later.

Laser Hair Removal

Another procedure common for men is laser hair removal through the use of the Gentle Hair Removal system. This new system employs the use of a Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD), which is patented and allows for treatments to go faster than traditional laser hair removal. Lasers are used to provide controlled heat into the deep layers of your skin, which will damage hair follicles in the area. The patented cooling device helps to minimize any sort of soreness or irritation by using small amounts of liquid nitrogen. Hair removal can be done fairly quickly with treatments lasting just a few minutes upwards to an hour depending on how much body area must be covered. Patients will need to book an average of 5 treatment sessions spaced out 6 weeks apart from each other, as laser hair removal works optimally during the growth stage of hair, and not all hairs are at the same stage.

Botox

Making use of a naturally occurring neurotoxin, Botox (a common type of purified botulin neurotoxin) is used to help reduce the look of wrinkles through the use of muscle relaxation. An injection containing saline mixed with powder is used at sites where patients would like to reduce the look of forehead lines, vertical frown lines, and crow’s feet. The powder contains a formulated version of the neurotoxin caused by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. Found naturally, it can lead to paralysis, but with formulated and measured amounts being used it can help to aesthetically treat patients. With Botox as an FDA approved form of botulin neurotoxin, Precision MD Cosmetic Surgery Center believes that it is an excellent tool for men to help feel and look their best. Botox is also the most common non-surgical cosmetic treatment.
