Aesthetic Treatments for Men
Men and women differ physiologically and anatomically which is why we have aesthetic treatments specifically tailored for men. Therefore, we individualise our anti-wrinkle, filler and Profhilo treatments to ensure the best aesthetic outcome for each client.

Aesthetic treatments for men are increasing, and account for more than 10% of all aesthetic treatments globally.
The top 3 reported reasons for male aesthetic treatments are:
- Workplace competitiveness: Many people feel a youthful appearance helps fight ageism in the workplace.
- Social Media: We have all become more image-conscious using Instagram, Tik Tok and other apps that tend to focus on youthful influences.
- Encouragement from a partner: This can be a motivating factor if one’s partner avails of cosmetic treatments and advocates them to their significant other.
The most popular aesthetic treatment sites for men are:
Anti-wrinkle treatments for men:
- Corners of the eyes – to prevent/reduce crow’s feet
- The upper forehead – to prevent/reduce creases
- Above the eyebrows – to prevent/reduce frown lines.
Fillers for men:
- Jawline fillers – to square the jaw
- Chin fillers – to increase chin projection
- Lip fillers – to widen the lips laterally
Does it hurt & when will I see results?
Everybody has a slightly different experience due to skin thickness; pain threshold and areas being treated but, in general, these treatments are almost completely painless; a small pinch is the extent of the discomfort.
A numbing agent will be rubbed into the skin to ensure a comfortable experience for the client. The treatment itself also contains a numbing agent to add to this effect. First-time clients might find the sensation unusual but not painful
Anti-wrinkle injections take 7-14 days to take full effect. Your doctor will contact you around the 14 day mark, to ensure you are happy with your treatment and to offer you a free top-up if required.
You will see an immediate result with dermal fillers. Your final result will be evident after 5-7 days. This is the time when the treatment fully settles, and any additional swelling subsides.
What will happen on the day of my treatment?
Your doctor will arrive at your place of treatment at the time of your appointment. They will ask you a few questions relating to COVID-19, to ensure that there is minimal risk of transmission. You will be asked if you read the consent form, which would have been emailed to at your time of booking. You will then be asked to sign a physical copy of the consent form. You will then be asked to sit in the treatment chair so the doctor can cleanse your skin. The area will be numbed with a topical anaesthetic prior to treatment. The doctor will examine your face, marking the areas that will be treated. A tiny needle will be used to minimise discomfort. The targeted area will be treated in 5-10 minutes, leaving you with immediate, lasting results.
WHAT SHOULD I DO?
Treatment Aftercare
- You may experience some swelling and bruising the day after your procedure. This is completely normal and will subside in 5-7 days.
- Avoid Vitamin C, Retinol, AHA and BHA skincare products for 24 hours after treatment, to give your treatment time to settle.
- Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area for 24 hours to reduce the chance of the treatment moving.
- Keep upright for 4 hours to reduce the chance of the treatment moving to unintended areas.
- Avoid strenuous exercise such as weight-training or cross-fit for 24 hours as it can occasionally cause the treatment to move to unintended areas.
- Avoid saunas, jacuzzies or hot baths for 24 hours after the procedure as the heat can result in treatment migration.
- Avoid excessive alcohol consumption as it can increase the risk of bruising.
- Don’t sleep on the treated area the night following your treatment.
