It’s a new era for aesthetic treatments. Where aesthetic medicine has been mostly aimed at women, men are increasingly embracing aesthetic treatments to refine their appearance and boost their confidence, both personally and professionally. Initially a trend, this new era of aesthetics has coincided with a greater societal shift towards prioritising self-care and personal grooming. Unsure where to start? Let us take you through some of the common aesthetic treatments for men and some of the benefits you can expect.
Dermal fillers are gel-like substances, often made from hyaluronic acid, injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, smooth fine lines, and enhance facial contours. Common treatment areas include the cheeks, lips and jawline.
Threads treatments involve inserting small, biodegradable sutures under the skin. These threads lift sagging tissue and stimulate collagen production as they dissolve, gradually improving firmness and elasticity.
Fillers and threads can be combined to work synergistically and enhance facial contours, making them popular for men seeking a chiseled jawline.
Skin boosters are also injectables, also often made with hyaluronic acid. Rather than adding volume, they deeply hydrate and improve skin elasticity and texture.
Botulinum toxin is used to temporarily relax targeted facial muscles, reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles such as frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines. A popular anti-aging treatment, this offers results without the need for surgery.
Skin surface treatments include a range of treatments focused on improving skin texture, addressing uneven skin tone, or targeting specific concerns such as sun damage and scars. This includes chemical peels, microneedling and laser skin resurfacing. These treatments help to promote smoother, more even skin and often have little downtime.
Hair replacement and removal are popular treatments amongst men. Laser hair removal can be used in areas such as the back, chest and face to eliminate unwanted hair, whilst hair transplants replace hair and platelet-rich plasma therapy promotes hair growth.
Many people seek aesthetic treatments to help them look as good on the outside, as they feel on the inside, and men are no exception. Boosting confidence and self-esteem remain common motivating factors. Additionally, the benefits can be experienced in all areas of a man’s life. Whether it’s at home, or at work, you can reap the benefits of your aesthetic treatments.
Through celebrity influence and social media, the visibility of aesthetic treatments amongst men has grown. There are more portrayals of well-groomed, youthful-looking men across social platforms which has also changed the perception of aesthetics treatments, normalising cosmetic procedures.
There has been a societal shift in more recent years which has seen the prioritising of self-care. Whilst this can vary between individuals, valuing your skin’s health and appearance is part of self-care and with the rise of “prejuvenation”, aesthetic treatments are being adopted earlier to prevent signs of aging and maintain skin health.
Aesthetic medicine is constantly evolving as techniques progress. These advancements enable treatments to be customised more than ever before. In addition, treatments can be designed and combined to enhance masculine features and offer natural-looking results.
Our recommendations for taking your first steps toward an aesthetic treatment:
Do the research and find an aesthetics professional you can trust with your safety and appearance.
Whether it’s enhancing facial contours, or anti-aging treatments, knowing the results you’re looking for, and knowing about the different treatment types to achieve them, will give you some confidence to begin your aesthetics journey.
