In 2008, there was a noted increase in nonsurgical cosmetic procedures among men, with a 43% rise in the past five years, including popular treatments like Botox injections, hair transplants, and microdermabrasion. This trend was attributed to higher disposable incomes and greater social acceptance.

Additionally, the document covered the treatment of rhinophyma, a severe stage of rosacea, with surgical therapies like CO₂ laser showing excellent results.
