For Men

Men come to my office with a range of concerns.  Mr Blake sees many men with regard to pressing medical conditions but cosmetic concerns are frequent too.  Here I have listed a few of the frequent concerns male patients have but there are many more in addition to those below.  If you have any concern not covered here please contact me.

Treatment with botulinum toxin, Botox or Dysport, aims to address the problem of dynamic lines or rhytids. These are caused by undesirable contraction of the facial muscles which are effectively paralysed by the injectible toxin. Crows feet, frown lines and platysmal bands may be suitable for treatment. Fillers like the hyalurinic acid based products Restylane, perlane, and subQ, aim to restore or add volume to the lips, cheeks, cheek bones, malar areas or other sites. Injections last several months or up to a year and may be repeated if required. Hyperhydrosis is also well addressed with botulinum toxin. more...
