Dermal filler for men in Laval

Support put back where it went: the jawline, the chin, the cheekbones. A medical procedure, performed by a physician, after a consultation.

MEDICAL PROCEDURE

Performed by a physician. Medical consultation required.

What is hyaluronic acid

A molecule your body already makes, present in skin, joints and eyes. Its central property is that it holds a great deal of water relative to its weight.

Fillers use a stabilised version of it, modified to stay in place and break down over months rather than days.

The technical point that decides everything: these products come in different densities. A soft gel cannot support a jawline, and a dense gel placed in a fine area shows and can be felt. Choosing the density, the plane and the quantity is exactly what you are paying for.

What concerns a man of thirty-five in particular, and this is not a matter of taste: a man's face is held up by angles. The jawline, the chin, the lateral edge of the cheekbone. Product placed the way it would be placed on a woman's face, rounding out the upper cheek, feminises, and that is precisely what most men want to avoid. The typical request from men runs toward the jawline, not toward cheek volume.

Here, a physician performs this, and nobody else. The medical consultation beforehand is required, it is paid, and he sets his own fees.

Is this procedure right for you?

The product returns structural support. It acts neither on a muscle nor on skin quality.

It is for you if:

  • Your jawline reads less clearly than it used to

    In profile photographs especially. It is the number one request from men, and it has little to do with weight.

  • Your chin falls back in profile

    A recessed chin visually shortens the jaw and loads the neck. It is a very common correction in men, and often the one that pays back most in visible effect.

  • The folds from nose to mouth are deepening

    They come from support lost higher up, not from a local problem. The product often goes somewhere other than where you see the issue.

  • You want it to still be you

    That is the real question, and it is settled at the consultation. Masculine placement works angles, not curves.

Does your line appear when you frown and vanish at rest?

Then it is muscular, and this product is the wrong one. Neuromodulators treat that mechanism.

Contraindications

THE DECISION BELONGS TO THE PHYSICIAN

This list is indicative. The medical assessment decides, on your full file.

AN INFECTION OR A LESION ON THE AREA

Nothing is injected into infected skin. An active cold sore postpones the procedure.

A CLOTTING DISORDER OR AN ANTICOAGULANT

The risk of bruising rises sharply. Declare it, with the full list of your medication.

AN ACTIVE AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE

Declare it at the consultation. The physician assesses.

A KNOWN ALLERGY TO THE PRODUCT

It rules the procedure out and is declared beforehand.

A procedure adjusted to your face

Two men do not get the same treatment, and three things explain why.

THE DENSITY OF THE PRODUCT
That is the central technical choice. A jawline needs a firm gel, a fine area a soft one. Getting the density wrong shows and can be felt.
THE PLANE OF PLACEMENT
Against bone, in deep tissue, more superficially. These are not the same thing and do not give the same result.
ANGLE RATHER THAN VOLUME
On a man's face, the work generally aims to redefine a line. Adding volume to the upper cheek, a common move on women, feminises.

The session step by step

We want to do everything we can to bring you toward the best version of yourself. That is why every session follows the same steps.

  • A physician and a man in consultation, seated face to face

    1

    The medical consultation

    Required and paid. The physician looks at your face from the front and in profile, listens to what bothers you, and says what belongs to this procedure and what does not.

  • A physician marking reference points on a seated man's forehead

    2

    The plan

    Which areas, which density, what quantity, in what order. This is also where you are given the fee.

  • A physician's gloved hands, a fine syringe near a man's forehead

    3

    The procedure

    Needle or cannula depending on the area. Pressure and a sting at each point, sharper over bone.

  • A physician holding a cold compress to a man's forehead

    Checking

    The physician verifies symmetry and placement. The immediate swelling is part of the process, not part of the result.

    Aftercare

    No sport, no heat, no alcohol for twenty-four hours, and do not judge what you see on the way out.

Common questions

Everything people ask us before a first session, answered plainly.

Will I look like I have had work done?

That depends far more on placement than on quantity, and this is where the subject gets technical. The artificial face you have in mind almost always comes from excess volume placed high on the cheek, a common move on women's faces that, transposed unchanged onto a man, feminises and shows immediately. Masculine work done properly goes elsewhere: it redefines the jawline, gives a slight projection to a recessed chin, and leaves the cheekbones alone. Tell the physician at the consultation that you want to stay recognisable. It is a precise request and it changes the plan.

How long does it last?

Several months to about a year and a half, depending on the area, the density used and your metabolism. Highly mobile areas break down faster than still ones, so a chin generally lasts longer than a fold. It is not a permanent product, and that is mostly good news: if the result does not suit you, it fades. A face also changes between thirty-five and fifty, and a temporary product follows that change better than an implant does.

Does it hurt?

There is pressure and a sting at each point, and the sensation depends a great deal on the area: places where the product goes against bone, like the jawline or the chin, are felt markedly more than soft tissue. Comfort options are discussed with the physician before starting, and many products already contain an anaesthetic. What surprises men most is not the pain but the tightness that follows and lasts a few days.

Can I go back to work the next day?

The next day yes, the same day varies. You leave with swelling that makes the area temporarily more pronounced than the final result, and bruising is possible, especially around the mouth and under the eyes where there are many vessels. Allow a few days for everything to settle. If you have an event, a presentation or photographs, do not book this appointment in the two weeks before it.

Can it be removed if I dislike it?

Yes, and it is a particularity of this family of products. An enzyme dissolves hyaluronic acid, which is true of no other type of filler. The physician administers it, and it is also why these products are considered the most cautious choice. That said, wait until the swelling has fully gone before judging: plenty of people hate their result on day three and are satisfied with it on day ten.

Why the jawline rather than the cheeks?

Because a man's face reads through its angles. The jawline, the lateral edge of the cheekbone and the projection of the chin are what give a man's face its structure, and they are what goes first with age. Round volume in the upper cheek is a feminine marker: adding it to a man changes how the face reads without correcting what was bothering him. It is probably the single most important difference between a masculine and a feminine treatment.

What if the physician says no?

It happens, and it is the best use of the consultation. Some requests do not belong to this procedure, others belong to surgery, and others should simply not be done. He is the one who determines whether another of his procedures makes sense for you, and in what order. Nothing is combined without his assessment. Leaving the consultation having booked nothing is a perfectly acceptable outcome.
