Our faces are exposed to a range of assaults in daily life, be it the simple act of laughing or smiling
- straining our facial muscles - or the UV rays and chemicals in our environment.
Australian men are the biggest users of anti-wrinkle treatments in the world - using it most commonly as a rejuvenation treatment to soften facial lines and folds for a naturally younger and fresher appearance.
Dr Steven Liew also offers his internationally acclaimed non-surgical treatments in which anti-wrinkle injections are used in combination with dermal fillers for highly advanced procedures - from total face reshaping to treatments for bruxism.
These procedures have been specially tailored for men.
The most popular anti-wrinkle treatments for men include:
Dermal gel is the safest and most popular temporary dermal filler, recommended for replenishing the loss of fullness in the cheek, lip and jowl area. They are used to reduce the cheek or naso-labial fold in conjunction with facial surgery to deliver more natural looking results.
Shape is also a global pioneer in the use of fillers and anti-wrinkle injections to reshape the face and facial features and create a more masculine and naturally attractive appearance - scalpel free.
The most common areas of treatment for men include:
Duration: 12 to 18months
Downtime: None
Sculpt-filler is a different class of filler which stimulates the human skin to generate more collagen. A biodegradable compound, it stimulates collagen growth for a period of six to eight weeks after treatment.
This increases skin volume, making the face fuller and firmer while also improving skin texture
Sculpt-filler is most commonly used by patients who have lost a significant amount of facial fullness due to disease or ageing and will dramatically improve the appearance.

Men contemplating cosmetic facial procedures are often fearful treatment will make them appear as if they have had 'some work' or - even worse - it could feminise their appearance. And certainly men have not been well served by some sections of the cosmetic industry which have tended to take a "one size fits all" approach.
Dr Steven Liew's tailored procedures ensure the male aesthetic is both retained and enhanced, including his world first procedures to reshape and "masculinise" the face without surgery.
Dr Liew believes all facial cosmetic work with men, surgical or non-surgical should ensure the male aesthetic is retained by keeping to the following guiding principles:
This is in keeping with Dr Liew's philosophy: "Everyone will notice - no-one will know"
