It might surprise you to hear that men are becoming one of the fastest-growing demographics in plastic surgery statistics, and it’s not just in surgical cosmetic procedures. Non-invasive and non-surgical cosmetic procedures for men can be highly versatile and correct a large number of different problem areas.  Here are some of the most common nonsurgical cosmetic procedures that are growing in popularity with men interested in looking their best.

Injectables

Most people have probably heard of Botox®, and that’s because it’s highly effective at moderating muscle movement that causes wrinkle formation in the face over time. Botox injections can reduce the appearance of forehead lines, crow’s feet, smile lines, and other fine lines and wrinkles. Aging can be one of the main causes of discomfort with facial appearance, and more men are beginning to realize the confidence-boosting benefits of looking a few years younger.

Dermal fillers can also be a great way to temporarily restore volume to the face and hands (and are more commonly used as a non-surgical alternative for penile enhancement). It can also be the perfect treatment for those patients interested in eliminating facial lines, wrinkles, and acne scars. Injectables can be a quick and easy way to enhance the masculine contour of the face without surgery.

Laser Treatments

Lasers can do a lot when it comes to body procedures. It’s not too much to imagine, then, that men would want to easily have their needs met with a few popular laser treatments. Laser hair removal can be greatly beneficial to men who generally have more body hair than women, and can be uncomfortable when unwanted hair manifests in certain areas, like the back, shoulders, or chest.

Similarly, miraDry® is a quick and easy laser treatment for excessive sweating, a problem many men live with while feeling like there are no solutions.

Cosmetic treatments like CoolSculpting® and SculpSure® can help men with their weight-loss goals and eliminate stubborn fat cells (in some cases it can be an effective gynecomastia treatment).

There are also many laser options for all skin types. Laser treatment can help fix conditions like pigmentation, acne scarring, and sun damage. Repeat treatments will likely be necessary for optimal results.

Whether it be aging facial skin, loose skin, or unwanted hair, men interested in correcting their problem areas have many options available, and it’s important to look for board-certified plastic surgeons who specialize in helping men achieve excellent results using their skills and understanding of men’s anatomy and aesthetic needs.
