Before & After Gallery

How are men’s aesthetic treatments different?

Men and women have different facial structures, and those differences matter when it comes to aesthetics. At PHI, we get that. Men typically have thicker skin, stronger bones, and larger muscle mass in their faces. This means we need to tailor our approach to match.

For instance, when administering dermal fillers, men often need a bit more to get the job done right. We also focus on enhancing features like the jawline and cheekbones, which tend to be more prominent in men. Our goal is to help you look refreshed and rejuvenated but still like yourself — just the best version!

We offer specialized services such as Sculptra and Radiesse for facial shaping, designed specifically for male features, along with Skinvive and Exosome injections to enhance skin health and rejuvenation. Think of it as fine-tuning your natural features, not completely changing them.

Popular Aesthetic Treatments for Men

Botox & Dysport

Looking to refresh your appearance and reduce wrinkles? At PHI Medical Aesthetics in Calgary, we offer Botox and Dysport, two popular neuromodulator treatments that can help you achieve a more youthful look.

How does Botox work?

Botox and Dysport are injectables that work beneath the skin's surface to smooth out wrinkles caused by repeated facial movements, like frowning or squinting.

We use a fine needle to inject small doses into targeted facial muscles. These treatments contain botulinum toxin, which temporarily blocks nerve signals, relaxing the muscles and softening lines. The result? A refreshed appearance with fewer wrinkles.

Most men see improvement within a few days, with the full effects visible after two weeks. Both options are effective for treating crow's feet, frown lines, and forehead wrinkles with minimal downtime.

Dysport vs. Botox for Men: Choosing the Right Neuromodulator

While both Botox and Dysport are effective for treating wrinkles, some key differences may make one a better choice for you than the other.

Here's a breakdown to help you choose:

Molecular structure: Botox and Dysport contain botulinum toxin type A, but Dysport has smaller molecules. This allows it to spread more quickly and easily into the surrounding tissues.
Onset and duration: Dysport may take effect slightly faster than Botox, often within 2-3 days, compared to Botox, which can take up to a week to show results. However, the effects of Botox may last slightly longer for some individuals.
Treatment areas: Due to its faster diffusion, Dysport might be better suited for treating larger areas, such as the forehead. Botox, with its more localized effect, is often preferred for smaller, more targeted areas like crow's feet.

Ultimately, the best choice for you will depend on your individual needs and treatment goals. Our expert injectors at PHI will consider factors such as the areas you want to treat, your desired outcome, and how each product is likely to react with your unique physiology to recommend the best option for you.

PRP Treatments for Hair Loss

Losing your hair or noticing it thinning? It's a common concern for men, and PHI Medical Aesthetics offers a cutting-edge solution: PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy. This treatment uses your body's natural growth factors to stimulate hair follicles and promote regrowth, helping you reclaim a fuller, healthier head of hair.

How does PRP for hair loss and thinning work?

Our PRP for hair loss is specifically designed for men, ensuring that the treatment addresses the unique patterns of hair loss and thinning. If you're looking for a hair loss or thinning treatment near you, one of our locations (PHI Marda Loop or PHI Mahogany) is just a short drive away!

PRP therapy involves a straightforward process:

Blood draw: We start by drawing a small amount of your blood. It’s just like a routine blood test — quick and easy.
Centrifugation: The blood is then placed in a centrifuge, a specialized machine that spins it at high speed. This process efficiently separates the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from the other blood components.
Injection: The concentrated PRP, packed with potent growth factors, is then precisely injected directly into your scalp in the areas experiencing hair thinning or loss. These growth factors stimulate dormant hair follicles, promoting new hair growth and strengthening existing hairs.

The PRP enhances blood supply to the hair follicles, providing them with the essential nutrients they need to thrive. This leads to noticeably thicker, healthier hair and a reduction in hair shedding.

Belkyra (Kybella) Injections for Double Chin Reduction

Want to get rid of that stubborn double chin that just won't quit, even with diet and exercise? PHI Medical Aesthetics offers Belkyra (Kybella) injections to help you achieve a more sculpted, defined jawline — no gym required!

What is submental fat, and how does Belkyra work to target and reduce it?

Submental fat, commonly known as a double chin, is the accumulation of excess fat beneath the chin. This can impact your facial profile and is often caused by genetics, weight fluctuations, or the natural aging process. Many men find it resistant to diet and exercise.

Belkyra, known as Kybella in the USA, is a non-surgical injectable treatment designed to target and eliminate submental fat. The active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When Belkyra is injected into the submental area, it destroys fat cells, which are then naturally metabolized and eliminated by the body. This results in a more defined, sculpted jawline and a more youthful appearance.

What to Expect During and After a Belkyra (Kybella) Treatment

The procedure typically takes 20-30 minutes, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.

Following your initial consultation, your experienced injector will mark the treatment area and apply an injection grid. This grid ensures precise placement of the Belkyra (Kybella) injections for optimal results. We’ll also provide ice packs before and after the injections to make sure you’re comfortable.

Based on the personalized grid markings, your skilled nurse injector will administer the Belkyra (Kybella) injections. The number of injection points will vary depending on your individual needs and the amount of submental fat being treated.

It's common to experience some mild discomfort during the injections and some swelling and tenderness in the treated area for a few days following the procedure. To minimize swelling, we recommend applying cold compresses to the treated area for 15-20 minutes at a time, several times a day, during the initial post-treatment period. You should also refrain from strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours post-treatment.

To avoid probing questions from your buddies about why your neck is swollen, we recommend scheduling your Belkyra treatment during a less 'social' time, but trust us, the end result will be worth it.

Belkyra Treatment

Radiesse & Sculptra for Facial Contouring

After reducing submental fat with Belkyra (Kybella), we often recommend pairing it with Radiesse or Sculptra to shape and define your face further. These biostimulators can enhance your natural masculinity by strengthening your jawline, building out your chin, or defining your cheekbones.

Radiesse vs. Sculptra: Choosing the Right Filler

Both Radiesse and Sculptra are biostimulators that can enhance your facial features and restore a more youthful appearance, but they work in distinct ways to achieve different effects.

Radiesse

Radiesse is a calcium hydroxylapatite-based biostimulator that provides immediate volume and lift.

This makes it an excellent choice for men who want:

Strong jawline: Radiesse adds immediate definition to the jawline, creating a chiseled, masculine look that many men desire.
Prominent cheekbones: Enhance your cheekbones for a more sculpted and defined facial structure.
Improved chin projection: Augment a weak chin to create a more balanced and harmonious facial profile.

Radiesse also stimulates collagen production, which helps to improve skin elasticity and firmness over time. This means you'll enjoy both immediate and long-lasting results.

Sculptra

Sculptra is a poly-L-lactic acid-based biostimulator that works gradually to stimulate your body's own collagen production. This results in a subtle, natural-looking increase in volume over time.

Sculptra is ideal for men who:

Prefer a gradual approach: If you're looking for subtle enhancements that develop gradually over time, Sculptra is an excellent option.
Want to restore lost volume: Sculptra effectively replaces lost volume in the temples, cheeks, and jawline, restoring a more youthful appearance.
Desire natural-looking results: Sculptra's gradual effects ensure that your results look completely natural.

Which is right for you?

To help you decide between Radiesse and Sculptra, schedule a consultation with one of our expert injectors. They’ll assess your facial structure, discuss your aesthetic goals, and recommend the best option for you.

Teosyal & Juvederm to Restore Facial Volume

As men age, they may experience a loss of facial volume, leading to a tired or drawn appearance. Weight fluctuations can also contribute to this. Dermal fillers like Teosyal and Juvederm are designed to restore lost volume, soften wrinkles, and enhance facial contours for a refreshed, more youthful look.

How Teosyal and Juvederm Work for Men

These hyaluronic acid-based fillers work by attracting and holding moisture in the skin, providing natural-looking volume and hydration.

At PHI Medical Aesthetics, we use Teosyal and Juvederm to address common concerns for men, such as:

Restoring volume to sunken cheeks: Plump up hollow cheeks for a fuller, more youthful appearance.
Filling in under-eye hollows: Reduce the appearance of dark circles and under-eye bags for a revitalized look.
Defining the jawline: Create a stronger, more chiseled jawline that accentuates your masculine features.
Smoothing out nasolabial folds and marionette lines: Soften the appearance of smile lines and wrinkles around the mouth for a more youthful expression.

Benefits of Teosyal and Juvederm

Natural-looking results: These fillers provide subtle, natural-looking enhancements that complement your existing features.
Improved facial contours: Restore lost volume and definition for a more sculpted and youthful appearance.
Minimally invasive: The treatment involves a series of small injections with minimal discomfort and downtime.
Long-lasting results: Enjoy the benefits of Teosyal and Juvederm for up to 18 months, depending on the product used and the treatment area.

Under-eye Filler Before & After

Fillers Aren’t Your Only Option — Rejuvenate Your Skin with Skinvive, Exosomes, and PRP

Dermal fillers are great for restoring volume and definition, but sometimes, you need more comprehensive skin rejuvenation. At PHI, we offer advanced treatments like Skinvive, Exosome Injections, and PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy to revitalize your skin and address concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven texture.

Skinvive

Skinvive by Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid-based injectable treatment that deeply hydrates the skin, improving its elasticity and restoring a youthful glow. Think of it as a super-moisturizer that works from the inside out. It's a great option for men who want to:

Improve skin texture and tone
Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
Achieve a healthy, radiant complexion

What is the main benefit of Skinvive Injections?

The main benefit of Skinvive is its ability to deeply hydrate the skin. As men age, the skin can lose moisture and elasticity, leading to dryness, dullness, and the development of fine lines. Skinvive is formulated with hyaluronic acid, a powerful moisture-binding ingredient that attracts and holds water to the skin. When injected into the skin, Skinvive helps restore hydration levels, resulting in smoother, plumper skin with a healthy, youthful glow.

PRP for Skin Health...Not Just Hair Loss

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy has gained popularity in recent years for its effectiveness in enhancing skin health and rejuvenation. This innovative treatment utilizes components derived from your own blood to stimulate healing and promote the growth of new skin cells. This concentrated PRP is injected into the areas of the skin that require treatment.

What can PRP injections do for men's skin?

Improve skin texture and tone
Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
Promote collagen production
Helps in the treatment of acne scars
Enhance overall skin radiance

Exosome

We are excited to introduce this new, emerging treatment in the field of regenerative medicine and medical aesthetics, and we highly recommend you add this potent stem-cell treatment to any of the above PHI Guys services.

What are exosomes?

Exosomes are tiny, naturally occurring particles derived from stem cells that have powerful healing, anti-aging, and rejuvenating properties. They’re basically messengers that carry proteins, lipids, and RNA to other cells in the body, triggering responses such as tissue regeneration, collagen production, and inflammation reduction. They fix damaged cells, make the skin smoother, and increase its elasticity.

Why Choose Skinvive, Exosomes, or PRP?

Natural approach: These treatments utilize your body's natural processes to rejuvenate the skin, resulting in subtle, natural-looking improvements.
Minimal downtime: You can typically return to your normal activities immediately after treatment.
Long-lasting results: Enjoy the benefits of these treatments for months to come, with ongoing improvement over time.

Let's Talk About the Fear and Stigma Around Fillers for Men

Many men are hesitant to try dermal fillers due to concerns about looking unnatural or "overdone." Years of overfilled celebrities and botched procedures circulating the internet have created a stigma around fillers, but the truth is that modern fillers, when administered correctly, can provide subtle, natural-looking enhancements that boost your confidence without making you look artificial.
