WHY ANATOMY DETERMINES THE RESULT

The upper face is a system — not a single muscle. An alert or tense expression results from the interplay of several muscles that balance one another. The frown line is caused by the so-called glabellar complex: the paired corrugator muscles (pull the brows inward and downward → the vertical frown lines) and the procerus muscle (pulls the root of the nose downward → the horizontal line above it). The horizontal forehead lines, by contrast, come from the frontalis muscle — the only muscle that raises the brow. At the outer corner of the eye, the orbicularis oculi muscle forms the crow’s feet and also lowers the brow laterally.

What matters is the balance between the depressors (glabellar complex, orbicularis) and the one elevator (frontalis). If only the forehead is generously relaxed without taking the depressors into account, the brow can drop — the eyes look heavy and tired. Conversely, if the frown line is released without considering the forehead, the frontalis can overcompensate and pull the brow up in places — the familiar, unnatural “surprised” or laterally raised look. That is exactly why we never treat an isolated wrinkle, but plan the upper face as a whole: first the analysis at rest and in motion, then a dosage that brings this interplay of forces into natural balance.

Why men are treated differently. Men’s skin is thicker, oilier and better supplied with blood, and the facial muscles are stronger and more voluminous. As a result, men generally need a higher, individually determined dosage — sometimes spread over more injection points and placed deeper. Being treated too conservatively is the most common reason men are disappointed with a wrinkle treatment: the effect then lasts only a few weeks. Just as important is the masculine brow position: the male brow sits lower, directly at or below the bony rim of the eye socket, and runs flatter than the more strongly arched female brow. A lateral “lift” would feminize the face. The medical skill lies in leaving the brow exactly where it looks masculine.

Designed to be natural and preventive. A distinction is made between dynamic wrinkles, which only appear with movement, and static wrinkles, which are visible even at rest. Over the years, the same repeated squinting — combined with the natural loss of collagen and elastin — gradually etches dynamic lines in as static wrinkles. Treating early and conservatively reduces this repeated folding and can slow down that transition. That is why a subtle, preventive micro-dosage makes particular sense for younger men: it largely preserves facial expression, never looks “done” and still works against tomorrow’s deep wrinkle.

• Planned as a system: treatment of the upper face as a muscle balance, not as an individual wrinkle
• Dosed for men: a higher, precisely tailored dosage for stronger male muscles, with the low brow preserved
• Temporary & preventive: the effect is time-limited and controllable — started early, it works against wrinkle formation

Who is the treatment suitable for?

• Men who have a strong professional presence and want an alert, confident expression — without visibly looking “treated”
• Anyone bothered by a deep frown line, forehead lines or crow’s feet
• Younger men (approx. 28–35) who want to start preventively before dynamic wrinkles become etched in as static ones
• Anyone who values being treated by a doctor — with anatomical planning, appropriate dosing for men and an honest assessment

In a personal consultation with the doctor, we will work out together whether wrinkle treatment is the right choice for your goal — or whether a combination within Perfect Skin MED for Men (e.g., with jawline contouring or skin boosters) makes more sense.
