What Dermocosmetic Procedures Can Be Performed on Men?
Men, although generally more reluctant toward cosmetic procedures compared to women, have shown increasing interest in dermocosmetic treatments in recent years, particularly driven by the desire to look more groomed, youthful, and stylish, especially in professional settings.
Men’s skin is thicker, oilier, and contains more collagen compared to women’s skin due to physiological, anatomical, and environmental factors. Shaving may also cause specific skin issues. Additionally, men’s facial muscles are stronger and bulkier, which can lead to more pronounced lines, sagging, and volume loss with age. Therefore, Botulinum toxin A and filler applications may be necessary.
Due to their oily skin, men may require more intensive cleaning and skincare routines. For both cosmetic and social or medical reasons, laser hair removal is commonly performed on men. However, because their hair is thicker and denser than women’s, men typically need longer and more frequent sessions for effective hair removal.
Hair loss, which is more frequent and severe in men, makes hair transplant procedures, mesotherapy, and PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) treatments more common among men.
Additionally, men often choose laser treatments for tattoo removal and Botulinum toxin A injections to combat excessive sweating. Scar treatments and skin rejuvenation procedures can also be performed as needed.
