We are asking patients who experience any of the following symptoms to self-quarantine and cancel their appointments: fever, shortness of breath, change of sense of smell or taste, runny nose, sore throat, coughing, chest pain, any direct contact with Covid-19 positive individual(s).

The face is the area where men first notice the signs of aging, with wrinkles the most common – and dreaded – symptom. Facial wrinkles in men can come from several factors. Collagen and elastin are two substances in the skin that give it structure, firmness, and elasticity. As men age, the concentration of these substances gradually decreases, with the facial skin slowly losing its youthful firmness, starting to wrinkle and sag. Wrinkles and unsightly creases can also appear as the facial skin and tissue loses volume. Repetitive muscle motion from smiling, laughing, and furrowing the brow cause repeated stress on the skin tissue, causing more lines and creases to form. Fortunately, there are treatment options that can restore a more youthful appearance, including BOTOX. Men have been coming to Dr. Sheena Kong's med spa in SF in ever-increasing numbers, with facial wrinkles, creases, and lines a common concern.

BOTOX: What it Can and Can't Do for Men

BOTOX is effective in treating wrinkles and creases from repetitive facial motions, such as laugh lines, worry lines, and crow's feet. BOTOX treatments consist of injecting a mild toxin into the affected area, which has the effect of temporarily paralyzing the muscles in the target area. With the muscle structure responsible for the repetitive motion stilled, the face becomes smoother, and the appearance of wrinkles greatly reduced. Because it works purely by targeting specific muscles, BOTOX is not an effective treatment used to resolve loose, sagging skin, but may one part of a more comprehensive facial enhancement treatment plan. If you are looking to smooth out wrinkles and lines, visit Dr. Kong for some of the best results from Botox San Francisco has to offer.

Dermal Fillers

When the issue is lost volume, BOTOX is not the appropriate treatment. In these cases, dermal fillers are employed to plump the area, and restore a more youthful firmness to the face. Dermal fillers are injected into the face to "fill it out," and replenish tissue volume. Several types of dermal fillers may be used to treat specific areas of the face. Dr. Sheena Kong is a highly-experienced physician who has focused her practice on cosmetic enhancements for men, including anti-aging treatments, and regenerative treatments for face and body.
