The document outlines various aspects of cosmetic dermatology for men, highlighting the increasing interest among men in aesthetic treatments for antiaging and cosmetic concerns. Men seek to maintain a masculine appearance while addressing aging signs, with a particular emphasis on maintaining scalp hair, reducing under-eye bags, and avoiding feminization. Ethnic men have specific cosmetic concerns that require culturally sensitive treatments. The male cosmeceutical market is underdeveloped, partly due to differences in skin physiology and grooming practices like shaving. Men prefer discrete cosmetic services with little downtime, and there are subtle differences in male skin structure and psychology that dermatologists should consider. Neurotoxin injections are popular among men but require different dosing and techniques due to gender differences in anatomy and aesthetic goals. Volumetric structural rejuvenation (VSR) is a new strategy that avoids feminization by considering key anatomic differences. Noninvasive body contouring is tailored to enhance the male physique, focusing on areas of most concern to men. Advances in hair restoration include robotics, follicular unit extraction, and adjuvant modalities like platelet-rich plasma injections, lasers, and stem cells to improve transplant results. Combination therapies are common but lack extensive evidence-based literature, relying on clinical experience. Liposuction is popular among men, with energy-assisted technologies proving beneficial, and it requires consideration of male-specific fat distribution and emotional perspectives.
