Popular Cosmetic Treatments for Men

It’s a common misconception that men aren’t interested in improving their appearance with aesthetic treatments.

In fact, many guys want to look and feel their best and are seeking non-invasive procedures to enhance their features and rejuvenate their skin.

These treatments are especially appealing to male patients because they provide natural results without incisions, surgery, or downtime.

So, what are the most popular treatment options for men? Here’s a list of five cosmetic procedures that are in high-demand among guys.

1. Botox

Botox is a neurotoxin that blocks nerve signals to inhibit muscle contraction. As a result, it limits facial expressions, such as squinting and frowning, that lead to the development and worsening of lines.

Many guys find that Botox is a safe, effective, and quick treatment that relaxes wrinkles, smooths skin, and helps them to look younger and refreshed. Results usually last three-to-four months.

2. Chemical Peels

Medical-grade alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), beta hydroxy acid (BHA), and trichloroacetic acid (TCA) are common peeling agents that are used to remove dead skin cells and unclog pores.

Chemical peels also address a wide range of skin issues that affect men including fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, congestion, rough patches, dullness, and discoloration.

A series of three-to-five sessions spaced two-to-four weeks apart can help guys achieve softer, smoother, and brighter skin.

3. Kybella

One of the first things that a lot of guys see when they look in the mirror or at photos is a double chin.

Fortunately, Kybella is a cosmetic injectable that’s FDA-approved to eliminate submental fat for a slimmer neck and more structured jawline.

This procedure has a high level of patient satisfaction and can significantly boost a man’s confidence. Most patients require two-to-four treatments for optimal reduction of their double chin.

4. Laser Hair Removal

Unwanted hair on the chest, back, shoulders, and neck can cause irritation, ingrown hairs, and self-consciousness.

For these reasons, guys often turn to laser treatments to destroy hair follicles and disable the production of coarse, dense hair.

Most men experience a 60-90 percentdecrease in hair growth after six sessions, and treatments can be completed every six-to-eight weeks.

5. Nose Contouring

Nasal bumps and irregularities can negatively impact facial profile and structure. However, men may be hesitant to undergo a surgical rhinoplasty that requires anesthesia, recovery, and permanent results.

Consequently, many guys seek a non-surgical nose job, which involves the use of hyaluronic acid fillers to correct asymmetry and contours. This procedure takes less than 20 minutes and provides instant improvement that can last six-to-nine months.
