Aethetic Treatments For The Man In Your Life

Is it time to consider aesthetic treatment for yourself or your male partner? The days when women were the only clients at the spa or the cosmetic surgery clinic are long gone. 

Many men in professional jobs who want to present a polished, professional image now think nothing of investing in grooming - ranging from nail treatments and haircuts at a good hairdresser  to facials and hot shaves. An increasing number of men are also undertaking cosmetic enhancement procedures with around 10% of procedures (including surgical and non-surgical) now being carried out on men. 

However, many men still have concerns about aesthetic procedures or don’t believe they are ‘for them’.

‘For men especially, what we look to achieve with non-surgical aesthetics treatments (including anti-ageing injectables and facial fillers) is not a radical change that leaves the patient looking un-natural or ‘not themselves’. Rather, we are looking to restore youthfulness and vitality – reducing fine lines and wrinkles, improving facial proportions and restoring definition to areas including the jawline and cheekbones. The results are very natural and patients often receive comments that they look very well and have they been on holiday.’

A quite significant improvement in facial appearance can be achieved through minimally-invasive non-surgical means – for example the ‘Liquid facelift’ combines a personalised mix of facial injectables for reducing lines and wrinkles as well as restoring skin volume.There is no down-time and the results are almost immediate and last between 1-3 years. In addition, a significant improvement in appearance can be achieved with a good skin care regime – improving skin tone, clarity, reducing blemishes (whether acne or sun spots) and increasing the skin radiance can have significant anti-ageing effects. 

If you’re a man considering aesthetic treatment, why not start by taking better care of your skin at home? Clinics - Hatton 

Men may commonly be concerned about appearing vain or superficial by investing in their appearance, or they may have more practical concerns regarding the safety and efficacy of treatment, or about the effects – in particular, they may be worried about ‘not looking like themselves. These concerns are natural and understandable, but largely unfounded. 

Often it’s women who make the first appointment on behalf of their partner or, a man may express interest when his wife or girlfriend has had a consultation or treatment. However, the treatment requirements of each individual are unique and male skin and facial features tend to age quite differently than women’s (due to factors including shaving, different skin care, hormones and different facial features and facial fat distribution) – so having a personal consultation with an expert in male aesthetics treatments is strongly recommended. 

Cleanse and exfoliate – just because men don’t tend to wear make-up doesn’t mean their skin doesn’t benefit from daily cleansing to remove dirt, oil and impurities. Shaving is a good exfoliator but using an exfoliating product once or twice a week will help skin on the whole face to regenerate and glow. Use a good moisturiser and always wear a good, high SPF sunscreen (we recommend and stock the Obagi range, which includes prescription and non-prescription variants. Keep well hydrated and eat a healthy and varied diet – what you consume does affect your skin quality.
