Total transformations is a series on our Youtube account where we give back to people and help transform their appearance through full-face dermal filler, anti-wrinkle and medical-grade skincare. In this episode we have Luke come into our clinic to address his concerns with masculinization and skincare.
Luke wanted to come in to see us as he really wanted to restore his masculinity and definition that he had before, which has resulted in lost definition through general ageing. He wanted to resolve the lost masculinity and also address some skincare concerns that he saw Clare for. His skin concerns specifically were, they were acne redness and irritation as well as scarring from previous acne.
When it comes to masculinisation with filler, the key areas that will be focused on are the chin, jawline and midface. Luke previously had had treatment although this was around 4 years ago prior. Although amazing, dermal fillers aren’t a permanent solution and so, at VIVA we recommend an outstanding initial consult and then maintain your results two annual appointments to maintain the results. In this session Luke had his cheeks, temples, contours, jawline, chin and lips treated resulting in a more masculine look but also generally more refreshed and younger!
Clare gave Luke the mirror and his reaction was incredible, gasping “oh wow… yeah I did not expect that, the jawline’s great!” he went on to exclaim to Dr Ruper, “you’ve done a good job. masterpiece!” Luke couldn’t stop staring at his face in the mirror, which is what we love to see from clients’ reactions! Dr Rupert goes on to ask what stands out to Luke the most! In response, he says, “It’s like I’m getting my cheeks back, I really like the definition there!” We really really think Luke’s chin was the most insane result and he now has an incredible chin, balancing his masculine face shape! We are over the moon for him.
As we mentioned earlier when it came to concerns with skincare it was minimal for Luke as he already had amazing skin! But the small areas of things that he did have issues and concerns with were his redness and irritation above his beard as well as old acne scars as he suffered with acne whilst growing up; despite having flawless skin! To resolve these issues, we provided him with Obagi 360 and retinol. We love retinols at VIVA as it’s been shown to be successful for flattening and decreasing acne scars. Retinol has been found to have anti-inflammatory properties resulting in clearer tone, texture and retextured skin. Whilst helping to produce collagen.
