Injectable treatments are an excellent option for patients seeking a natural yet non-surgical way to transform their skin. Botox and injectable fillers can safely and effectively provide a smooth, youthful appearance with no recovery time necessary, which is why these treatments are becoming increasingly popular among men. Eliopoulos Plastic Surgery and Med Spa specializes in personalizing each treatment. With the expertise of Dr. Eliopoulos and her team, you can reinvigorate your skin in a way that enhances masculine facial features and looks authentic to you without looking “unnatural” or “overdone.” The goal is to still look expressive and animated.
As we age, our skin loses tightness and elasticity. When this happens, repetitive muscle contractions cause wrinkles to materialize in the form of frown lines, “crow’s feet,” and forehead furrows. By blocking the chemicals that cause facial muscles to contract, Botox temporarily relaxes these wrinkles to create a smoother, more youthful appearance. Relaxing certain muscles between the brows can also help elevate heavyset brows and open up the eye area a bit for a more awake, refreshed appearance.
The procedure is simple, involving a series of small injections just below the surface skin of the area being treated. No anesthesia is necessary, and there’s no post-procedural downtime. Initial redness or swelling disappears within minutes, and your rejuvenating results should reach full bloom within three to fourteen days. After treatment with Botox Boston patients' results will typically last between three to four months.
We work with different types neuromodulators including Botox as well as Dysport. Dr. Eliopoulos and her highly experienced nurse injectors will recommend which option and dosing is best for you based on your individual goals, anatomy, and results of previous treatments.
Botox is an extremely popular and very effective cosmetic treatment. It is a purified protein that works to temporarily relax facial muscles so they don't contract strongly and accentuate deep expression lines. Botox is safe, and Dr. Eliopoulos assures patients they will not end up with a mask-like expression, just a more refreshed look. Injectable fillers are also effective for filling in volume loss and softening wrinkles and folds. Some fillers are best for volumizing, and others work on fine lines. A combination of fillers can be used for optimal results.
Embarrassed or frustrated by undesirable underarm sweating? Botox is an FDA-approved treatment for hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) when topical agents fail to control perspiration. Botox injections work by blocking nerve signals to sweat glands, resulting in decreased underarm sweating. You will notice a significant reduction in underarm sweating within four weeks of your treatment, and results should last typically 4-6 months.
Youthful skin naturally contains an abundance of collagen and hyaluronic acid. Collagen is a protein that provides skin with structural support and elasticity, while hyaluronic acid acts as a sponge, binding water to hydrate skin, giving it volume. As we age, however, both substances slowly begin to dissipate, allowing for the formation of lines and wrinkles, especially around the nose and mouth. In addition, loss of facial volume can give a hollow, shadowed appearance to the cheek areas. Sometimes, patients may desire a stronger chin and jawline as well. Time, sun exposure, and other environmental factors can contribute to a loss of collagen and hyaluronic acid, which can be treated with injectable fillers.
At Eliopoulos Plastic Surgery and Med Spa, we work with the leading dermal filler brands Juvederm, Restylane, and Sculptra to provide the widest spectrum of treatments for every need.
Juvederm Voluma XC is the first FDA-approved filler to correct age-related volume loss in the midface. With Voluma, Dr. Eliopoulos can create a smoother contour and a more youthful appearance. Voluma is a hyaluronic acid filler that was created using special technology that contributes to its lift capacity and duration. Voluma has a smooth consistency that allows for a very smooth, natural-looking lift to the midface. In studies, results have lasted up to 2 years when optimal treatments were performed. The treatment is very tolerable because the product comes mixed with numbing medicine, and you can see the results immediately!
If you are wondering if Voluma XC is a nice option for you, please call our office for a personal consultation.
Juvéderm XC This injectable dermal filler uses Hylacross technology to replace skin’s hyaluronic acid, restoring volume while smoothing wrinkles and folds. Juvéderm is a gel infused with lidocaine that primarily treats unwanted lines in the nose and mouth areas. When injected into the lips, it provides a plumping, volumizing effect. What distinguishes Juvéderm from other hyaluronic acid replacements on the market is the gel’s smoother consistency, which delivers natural-looking, long-lasting results. The results achieved with Juvéderm can last up to a year.
Juvéderm Vollure adds volume to places like nasolabial folds running from the nose to the mouth and fine lines around the mouth.
Juvéderm Volbella is formulated to address finer lines on several areas of the face.
Restylane-L works best on severe to moderate facial creases like nasolabial folds between the mouth and nose.
Restylane Lyft smooths out deep wrinkles and creases. We commonly use it to fill in hollow cheeks or add prominence to cheeks that lack definition.
Restylane Silk has the perfect formulation for smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth (known as perioral lines).
Restylane Defyne. Marionette lines from the mouth to the chin, nasolabial folds from the nose to the mouth, and other deeper facial creases are common targets for Restylane Defyne.
Restylane Refyne brings the perfect balance of smoothing out facial creases while maintaining the natural mobility of your expressions.
Restylane Kysse is designed for lip augmentation and restoring younger-looking lips. When working with male patients, we ensure results that reflect your goals and complement more masculine aesthetics.
Sculptra is a different type of filler that is composed of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). It can fill in moderate to severe wrinkles and hollow areas on the face, like the cheeks. The fat layer under the skin thins out as we age. Sculptra rebuilds volume to counteract that process and improve the contours and skin quality in the face. Sculptra’s results can last for as long as two years, making it a great option for men seeking a longer-lasting treatment.

After a Botox, Dysport, or dermal filler injection session, you can return to most of your regular schedule immediately. However, it’s best to avoid strenuous activities or excess heat for 24 hours to minimize post-procedure swelling or bruising. You may experience tenderness or mild bruising for a day or two, which will subside quickly. Dr. Eliopoulos and her team will instruct you on gentle care of the treatment area during this early post-procedure stage. They are always available to answer any questions after your visit to support the best possible result.
Botox and Dysport are both injectable neuromodulators that target dynamic wrinkles and fine lines. Their active ingredient, botulinum toxin, is the same, but their consistencies differ. Botox has larger molecules, allowing for less spread and making it desirable for small and precise placement. Dysport has smaller molecules, which may allow it to spread more easily for quicker onset and may provide some advantages for larger treatment areas such as the forehead.
Neuromodulators like Botox and Dysport soften dynamic wrinkles by weakening muscle contractions in certain areas. Dermal fillers work differently, helping build volume into the skin to counteract age-related volume loss. Dermal fillers are good for smoothing away static lines, creases, and texture irregularities like atrophic acne scars. Both of these treatments complement each other and can be incorporated into your aesthetic plan.
The aging process is certainly three-dimensional. Over the years we tend to lose fat in our face, especially in our cheeks. Dr. Eliopoulos also sees this midface volume loss in her patients who are avid exercisers with lean body mass. This volume loss and flattening of the cheek area can give us a more tired, drawn, aged appearance due to the shadowing effect and by contributing to skin excess at the nasolabial folds (lines running from the corner of the nose to the corner of the mouth) and below the eye area. Patients often say that they feel like their face and skin looks “saggier.” Cheek augmentation can be a very effective first step to rejuvenate the face and restore a more youthful, natural contour. Cheek augmentation tends to lessen the amount of excess skin in the nasolabial region by augmenting the underlying bony structure and providing a “lifting” effect. Commonly, as a result, the nasolabial folds are softened and less volume of filler may be needed to provide full correction in the nasolabial fold if that is desired as well.
While the procedures are minimally invasive, the results from injectable treatments are dramatic. At Eliopoulos Plastic Surgery and Med Spa, we offer men in Boston BOTOX, Juvéderm fillers (including Juvederm Ultra and Ultra Plus), Vollure, Volbella, Voluma, and Restylane to help you achieve smoother, younger-looking skin and facial contours. These treatments provide results that endure for several months and can be touched up when needed, making them a low-maintenance way to keep your look going strong.
