Mother\u2019s Day is behind us and Father\u2019s Day is approaching, so\nnow is probably a good time to highlight trends in men\u2019s approach to their\nlooks. According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, men\naccounted for nearly 10 percent of the total cosmetic procedures in 2013. This\nwas a 273 percent increase from 1997! In a study from 2015 to 2017, the percentage\nof men greater than or equal to 21 years old reporting the use of a daily\nskincare regimen approached 90 percent. More than half had either experienced or\nexpressed interest in neurotoxins, such as BOTOX\u00ae.\nAt the Naples<\/a> and Marco Island-based Skin Wellness Physicians, we hear that\nthe main motivating reason is the pursuit of a youthful appearance. Studies show\nthat men are more loyal to their cosmetic provider than women\u2014and often have\nhigher satisfaction scores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trend is clear. Men are more and more open to the idea of\ncosmetic procedures for the same reasons women are: maintaining a youthful\nappearance. In our experience, it comes down to something more simple than that.\nAs the American population continues to age healthfully and enjoy the fruits of\na more active lifestyle, men are faced with the same concerns about their appearance\nas women are: feeling great, but not looking like they feel great. The most common\ncomplaint we hear is the perception that one looks tired, angry, stressed, or run\ndown\u2014when in fact they feel great. Women have understood how to manage these changes\nover centuries, but men now understand that they do not have to feel left behind\nas well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Naples, the average male patient seeking aesthetic attention\nwill often be someone in his late 50s and older. The pressing issues at this age\nwill often be volume restoration and the development of brown spots and wrinkles.\nA neurotoxin (i.e. BOTOX\u00ae) to relax lines will frequently be the first recommendation\nfor a younger patient. In the aforementioned age group, gentle refilling\nis often recommended, while balancing with a variety of laser options to clear up\ncomplexions from the brown sun spots and broken capillaries that develop with time.\nWomen, more often than men, will prefer big fixes that may give quick results. Men\ncommonly prefer small gains in order to avoid the social stigma of being a male\nreceiving cosmetic attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important that men seek an experienced medical provider\nwho understands the male anatomy in order to not feminize it, and who is a good\nlistener. The emotional hurdle for a male to seek aesthetic treatment is usually\nmuch greater than a female and therefore is accompanied by great anxiety. Men want\nto be heard and understood. At Skin\nWellness Physicians<\/a>, we treat the patient and not the problem. The most common\nthing we hear from our male aesthetic patients is \u201cI should have done this before!\u201d\nWe understand that men seeking these treatments is new, and there requires a certain\nsensitivity. As June is the host of Men\u2019s Health Month and Father\u2019s Day, think about\nsome small gains that your father or husband may be interested in to help him look\nas good as he feels.
