Why Consider Nonsurgical Treatments?

Non-surgical treatments for men can provide the refreshed, toned, and more masculine body shape and appearance that many men often seek, without requiring a surgical procedure or the associated downtime. Non-surgical treatments can help address and correct these common cosmetic concerns:

• The abdominal area
• The waist and hip areas
• The upper arms
• Lines and wrinkles in the face
• Excess fat in the chin and neck region

Using only the latest in advanced non-surgical products and technologies, Dr. Basu and his team of aesthetic providers can help men reduce stubborn pockets of exercise-resistant fat and improve the appearance of skin and facial contours, resulting in a more masculine jawline and an overall reenergized look.

How Much Do Nonsurgical Treatments Cost in Houston?

The cost of non-surgical treatments can vary, depending on which procedure(s) will best fit your unique needs. At Basu Aesthetics + Plastic Surgery, we offer frequent special promotions for non-surgical treatments.

Your Non-Surgical Treatment Options

Because each man’s unique needs and desires vary, you can choose from a variety of non-surgical options that best match your personal goals. At Basu Aesthetics + Plastic Surgery, we offer a range of minimally invasive cosmetic treatments that can rejuvenate both the face and body without the need for surgery:

Botox

Botox Cosmetic, or Botulinum toxin type A, is a popular injectable treatment for reducing wrinkles and other signs of aging, and is increasingly used by men. A Botox treatment involves injecting small amounts of Botox into specific muscles to relax them and diminish the appearance of lines and wrinkles. When used by men, Botox is often used to effectively address forehead lines, crow’s feet, and strong furrow lines between the eyebrows.

Juvederm dermal fillers

Juvederm® is a hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler used to treat various signs of aging. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the skin that contributes to volume and hydration. Juvederm works by restoring lost volume, smoothing lines, and plumping up areas that have diminished with age. It’s commonly applied to areas around the mouth and nose and to enhance the contour of the cheeks or jawline, or even to reduce the appearance of under-eye hollows. For men interested in addressing age-related facial changes or looking to improve or enhance facial contour, Juvederm injections are a non-surgical solution that provides quick results with little-to-no downtime.

Restylane dermal fillers

Restylane® is another premium brand of hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers that is used to counteract signs of aging in men and women. Like Juvederm, Restylane works by replenishing the skin’s natural hyaluronic acid, which diminishes with age, restoring lost volume and smoothing out wrinkles and folds in the process. Restlyane is frequently administered to treat nasolabial folds (smile lines), marionette lines, and other wrinkles around the mouth and nose, and it can also enhance the lips and contour the cheeks for a more youthful appearance. If you are considering Restylane or Juvederm fillers, we can discuss the differences between them during a consultation and help you determine which brand is best suited to achieve your unique goals.

Kybella injectable double chin treatment

If you, like many men, are struggling with a stubborn double chin, then Kybella® is an option for you. Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed specifically to address submental fullness, commonly known as a double chin. The active ingredient in Kybella is synthetic deoxycholic acid, a molecule that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, Kybella destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin. After treatment, the destroyed cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, leading to long-lasting results.

Microneedling

Microneedling is a minimally-invasive cosmetic procedure that stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, aiding in the treatment of various skin issues for men. The treatment involves the use of a device equipped with fine needles that create controlled micro-injuries to the skin. These micro-injuries trigger your body’s natural healing process, leading to the generation of new collagen and elastin fibers. As a result, microneedling can effectively improve the appearance of scars, wrinkles, and large pores. Men dealing with common skin concerns like acne scars, hyperpigmentation, or sun damage can certainly benefit from microneedling treatments.

CoolSculpting

For many years, CoolSculpting has been the gold standard in non-surgical fat reduction for men and women alike. CoolSculpting utilizes cryolipolysis technology to freeze and subsequently eliminate fat cells in targeted areas without affecting surrounding tissues. Men often opt for CoolSculpting to address stubborn fat deposits in areas like the abdomen, flanks, chin, and chest, which are sometimes resistant to diet and exercise. Post-treatment, the body naturally processes and eliminates the dead fat cells, resulting in a more contoured and toned physique. If you are interested in the body contouring benefits that liposuction can offer, but would prefer not to undergo surgery, then a CoolSculpting treatment, or series of treatments, might be right for you.

Emsculpt

Emsculpt is a non-invasive body contouring treatment favored by men looking to tone muscles and reduce fat simultaneously. This innovative technology utilizes High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to induce powerful muscle contractions, which are not achievable through voluntary contractions during traditional workouts. HIFEM energy effectively enhances muscle tone and strength in the treated areas, such as the abdomen, buttocks, arms, and legs. Men can expect a more sculpted and defined appearance following a series of Emsculpt sessions. With no downtime, it’s a convenient option for men seeking an effective method for muscle toning and body sculpting without surgery or extensive exercise programs.

One Emsculpt session is the equivalent of 20,000 crunches.

The Skinny Shot

The Skinny Shot is an injectable semaglutide prescription medication that functions by mimicking the action of a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which regulates appetite and food intake. When injected, The Skinny Shot reduces hunger and promotes feelings of fullness, leading individuals to consume fewer calories and subsequently lose weight. For men struggling with obesity or looking to lose substantial weight, semaglutide injections can be a highly-effective weight loss tool when combined with lifestyle modifications like diet and exercise.

Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is a popular and effective method chosen by many men seeking to reduce or eliminate unwanted body hair. The treatment works by targeting hair follicles with concentrated light, which is absorbed by the pigment in the hair, subsequently damaging the follicle and inhibiting future hair growth. Men commonly use laser hair removal to treat areas like the back, chest, abdomen, and face. Men might opt for laser hair removal not only for aesthetic reasons, but also to prevent ingrown hairs and skin irritation often associated with other hair removal methods, making it a practical choice for many.

NeoGraft Hair Transplantation

NeoGraft is a cutting-edge hair transplantation procedure sought by men facing hair loss, as it offers a minimally invasive solution for hair restoration. The NeoGraft technique utilizes Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), where individual hair follicles are removed from a donor area and then implanted into areas experiencing thinning or balding. With NeoGraft, men achieve natural-looking results with minimal scarring and downtime compared to traditional transplantation methods.

BioTE Hormone Replacement Therapy

BioTE hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is designed for men experiencing hormonal imbalances, often related to aging. This innovative treatment employs bioidentical hormones, which are chemically identical to those produced naturally in the body, to restore hormonal levels. BioTE HRT comes in the form of small pellets implanted under the skin, releasing consistent hormone levels over time. Men undergoing this therapy may observe enhanced energy, improved mood, increased libido, and better mental clarity. Men typically consider BioTE hormone replacement therapy to alleviate symptoms of low testosterone, combat fatigue, improve sexual performance, or generally enhance their quality of life during the aging process.

Skincare

At Basu Aesthetics + Plastic Surgery, we offer a variety of men’s skin care products. These premium, medical-grade products and treatments have been carefully tested and designed specifically for men. Resurfacing treatments and professional skin care products can effectively treat common skin concerns such as lines, wrinkles, acne scars, age spots and sun damage to help men look and feel revitalized.

During your personal consultation, we will work closely with you to help you determine which non-surgical treatment options might best meet your needs and goals.

Your Non-Surgical Treatment: What to Expect

Consultation

Your initial consultation will include a thorough discussion and evaluation with one of our qualified providers to identify your unique aesthetic goals and concerns. We will review your medical history, current health status, and any prior cosmetic treatments to determine the most appropriate and effective treatment options available for you. Your consultation will also involve a detailed explanation of the selected treatments, potential risks, expected outcomes, and an outline of the recovery process. You will have the opportunity to ask questions and view before-and-after photos of previous patients with similar aesthetic goals, as well as receive a pricing estimate for your personalized procedure plan.

Procedure Process

The specific details of your non-surgical procedure will vary depending on which treatment(s) you choose. Injectables, CoolSculpting® and other skin care treatments are minimally invasive procedures that require little-to-no downtime following your session. Injectables typically take less than 20 minutes to perform, and CoolSculpting® generally takes 1 hour per treated area. Laser procedures and other resurfacing treatments can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on which particular procedure you choose and how large the treatment area is.

Recovery & Results

Non-surgical treatments offer excellent results yet involve very little downtime. Injectables are often referred to as “lunchtime” procedures because they can be easily done during your lunch break, and you can return to work immediately afterward. Following non-surgical treatments, some redness, swelling, or bruising may occur, but these should diminish on their own within the next few days, revealing your refreshed and confident appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

When can I return to work?

Most non-invasive treatments, like injectables, CoolSculpting, Emsculpt, or laser therapies, allow patients to return to work immediately or within a day, with minimal downtime. However, some treatments might result in minor swelling, redness, or bruising, which could necessitate a few days off work; hence, individual recovery times can vary. We will discuss when you can expect to return to work during your initial consultation.

When can I workout again?

Your ability to resume exercise after a non-surgical treatment will depend on the specific procedure. Generally, for treatments like injectables, fillers, or non-ablative lasers, patients are usually advised to avoid strenuous activities for 24 to 48 hours to minimize swelling and bruising. For procedures that are more intensive, we might recommend a longer period of rest, so it is essential to follow the specific aftercare instructions given to you by your provider for optimal recovery and results.

How can I get optimal results?

To ensure you are getting the best possible results after a non-surgical med spa treatment, it’s essential to follow all post-treatment care instructions. This will depend on your chosen treatment, but often includes avoiding sun exposure, using appropriate skincare products, and refraining from certain activities for a specified period. Regular maintenance sessions, a consistent skincare routine, and a healthy lifestyle can help prolong and enhance the results of your treatment or procedure.

Will people be able to tell I got Botox or filler?

The visibility of Botox or filler treatments largely depends on the skill of the practitioner and the amount of product used. When performed by an experienced and qualified injector, these injectable treatments yield subtle and natural-looking results that refresh and rejuvenate without appearing ‘done’ or ‘frozen’. Any minor swelling or bruising from the injections typically subsides quickly, making it discreet, so others might notice an improvement without being able to identify the specific treatment you’ve received.

Who will administer my treatment or procedure?

The Basu Aesthetics medical spa team is a highly-trained group of nurse injectors, licensed aestheticians, and other aesthetic professionals. Our team is led by renowned board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bob Basu. Each member of our aesthetics team has extensive training and experience in administering a variety of the latest non-surgical treatments and procedures. When men choose our Houston med spa for their aesthetic needs, they are choosing the best of the best.
