In it you will find the most requested aesthetic medicine treatments by men and how we approach them at Estetic Medic Garvin .
Men's biggest concern before undergoing treatment
Just like women, men also have fears, insecurities, and doubts when they come to our office. In fact, the most common question we get at Estetic Medic Garvin is:
Do the same treatments for women work for men?
The biggest concern for most men is that their features will look feminized or unnatural after a medical-aesthetic treatment.
Differentiating factors between female and male aesthetic treatments
Facial harmony is essential for both men and women. The more proportionate and balanced their features are, the more beautiful they are.
Therefore, to avoid feminization, it is essential that the doctor masters male facial anatomy.
Anatomical differences and craniofacial structure
The male face has more marked features than the female face.
For example: the lower third is the most important in men because the squarer jaws and chin than women favor male attraction.
This is no coincidence, because the development of these areas is caused by testosterone, a male hormone, which is involved in the growth of all male sexual characteristics.
In fact, it is scientifically proven that men with a more prominent jaw and a squarer chin have a higher sperm rate and are more fertile .
Other signs of masculinity include slightly raised eyebrows, but maintaining their position above the brow arches, which should be prominent.
The woman's face is smaller and her profile more convex. Her features are more refined and rounded, with pronounced cheekbones and more subtle jaw angles.
Feminine treatments seek to emulate the beauty triangle of young faces where the upper part is wider (high cheekbones) and the chin is longer and thinner .
The craniofacial structure in men is somewhat larger and tends to have a more square shape. For example:
- The male forehead is shorter and more inclined forward.
- The nasal angles are wider in men. Women generally have a more refined, narrow, and shorter nasal prominence.
- The man's jaw is more square and robust, while the woman's is more rounded and less pronounced.
Skin type
Men's skin is 20% thicker than women's and contains more collagen, giving it a firmer appearance.
Aesthetically, it appears less transparent and has more open pores. Being thicker, it is also more resistant to environmental damage, the sun, and pollution.
Men's skin is also oilier because they have more sebaceous glands, which means they generally have more problems with shine than with dry skin.
Signs of aging appear later in men's skin, but by the time wrinkles form, the furrows are fully formed.
What aesthetic treatments do men request?
Every skin and every person is unique, so the first step to finding the best solution for your needs is a personalized facial diagnosis.
Sometimes surgery is not necessary, and aesthetic medicine can provide spectacular and immediate results.
At Estetic Medic Garvin, we are fortunate to have a full team of doctors and aesthetic specialists who advise patients from the first visit so that the results are always natural.
The most requested treatments by male patients are both surgical and aesthetic medicine, and their demand is constantly growing.
These are the most requested treatments by men:
- Hyaluronic acid.
- Botox.
- High definition liposuction.
- Rhinomodelling.
- Correction of dark circles and blepharoplasty
Facial rejuvenation in men
What types of wrinkles do men have and what is the best treatment for each one?
Male wrinkles are of static or dynamic type.
Static wrinkles are lines, depressions, or furrows that arise as a result of sagging facial structures. They appear in the nasolabial fold, along the chin, or in the folds at the corner of the mouth that descend toward the jaw (marionette lines).
The best treatment to eliminate static wrinkles is hyaluronic acid .
Dynamic wrinkles are those that occur as a result of the muscles located beneath the skin, such as those on the forehead, between the eyebrows, crow's feet, and neck.
In this case, the most appropriate treatment is Botox or botulinum toxin because it relaxes muscle contraction and gently reduces the outer appearance of wrinkles.
Botox treatment for men is less exaggerated than for women. Unlike women, the main goal is to soften wrinkles, not completely eliminate them, to preserve a masculine expression.
Hyaluronic acid fillers
Hyaluronic acid is a liquid substance found naturally in the body's tissues and skin, and its production decreases as we age. This component is responsible for retaining water in the skin so it looks hydrated, youthful, and smooth, without wrinkles.
Hyaluronic acid filler is a biocompatible, body-absorbable gel that is applied via microinjections directly into the targeted areas. The treatment typically lasts a few minutes and provides immediate results.
For men, this treatment aims to enhance their virility, improve the appearance of their skin, and treat the signs of aging . This treatment will:
- Improve your look : softens expression lines and improves the shadow areas around the eyes, making your eyes look more rested and your facial expression more youthful.
- Define facial contours : repositions facial volumes in strategic areas that have lost firmness and gained weight over the years.
- Reduce nasolabial folds : blurs the furrows that appear from the nose to the corner of the lips due to facial aging.
The effects last 9-12 months depending on the quality of the skin, the area where it is injected, and lifestyle.
Botox
Botox is the brand name for botulinum toxin type A. It is the toxin that causes botulism and is used for medical and cosmetic purposes to relax or paralyze muscles.
The technique of this treatment consists of infiltrating botulinum toxin into the muscle of the area to be treated using an extra-fine needle, causing it to relax and inhibiting its movement.
The results depend on the doctor's skill, the injection technique, and the patient's musculature. In men, this treatment is more subtle and less exaggerated than in women. For example, the goal is not to completely smooth out the wrinkle, but rather to achieve a more natural effect.
Thanks to Botox the patient will achieve:
- Reduce expression wrinkles such as those that appear between the eyebrows, on the forehead, at the corners of the lips, or around the eyes.
- Enhance masculine features such as defining the chin, defining the cheekbones or achieving horizontal eyebrows .
It is a painless technique that does not require surgery and its results last between 5 and 6 months.
Correction of dark circles
Lack of sleep or inadequate rest and aging skin are the main culprits of bags and dark circles.
Men, for the most part, use less concealer and have fewer options to hide dark circles. Therefore, the first solution is usually an eye cream or hyaluronic acid .
Hyaluronic acid achieves a very natural, rested face result without the need for surgery .
But there are cases in which correcting this aesthetic problem requires surgery, so it's always important to put yourself in the hands of specialists who can assess your particular case.
Surgery to restore brightness to the eyes is called blepharoplasty .
It's an eyelid surgery that eliminates signs of premature aging such as wrinkles, bags, and dark circles. The procedure is painless, usually lasts an hour, and leaves no unsightly scars.
Rhinomodelling
Reshaping is a technique for reshaping the shape and appearance of the nose without surgery, using small amounts of hyaluronic acid.
- Thanks to this technique you can:
- Eliminate defects in the profile of the nose.
- Disguise lateral deviations.
- Fade the bridge.
- Narrow the nasal wings.
- Raise the tip.
Sessions usually last a couple of minutes and are painless, as local anesthesia is used.
Typically, one session achieves 90% of the desired results, so a second session is recommended after 3-4 weeks. The effects last between 12 and 18 months.
Surgery: High Definition Liposuction
High-definition liposuction is indicated for men who have a Body Mass Index (BMI) below 30 and who, despite taking care of their diet and exercising, do not achieve the athletic silhouette they desire .
It is a minimally invasive surgical technique that eliminates localized fat and shapes different areas of the body to enhance male muscles.
That's why it's not just liposuction. It's a surgery that aims to precisely sculpt the male anatomy. High-definition liposuction patients achieve the following results:
- A more athletic and defined anatomy highlighting the abdominal, pectoral and deltoid muscles.
- Lose volume and eliminate localized fat.
The final result of high-definition liposuction should be assessed after at least 3 months to ensure that most of the inflammatory component and edema have subsided.

Men's facial care
Men's skin tends to be thicker, with a more acidic pH and more oily skin, so men are generally most concerned about shine and pores. They generally need moisturizing and anti-aging creams with a light texture.
Furthermore, the constant aggression of shaving causes skin irritation, flaking, and dehydration. This is why sensitive skin needs specific products to soothe it.
The choice of products will depend on the specific skin type, age, or imperfections you want to correct, such as spots, scars, or acne.
What is common to all skin types is that a daily cleansing and moisturizing routine is essential to prevent the signs of premature aging.
If you're unsure of what cosmetic products your skin needs, it's best to seek advice from a specialist who can diagnose the facial care product that best suits your needs.
Do you suffer from acne and want to take care of your skin at home?
We recommend this home treatment so you can enjoy healthy skin once and for all: Acne Pack
At the end of February I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Oriol Vernetta, a specialist in plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery, and Dr. Silvia Tutusaus, a specialist in aesthetic, cosmetic and aging medicine.
I invited them to talk about the most popular treatments for men and their biggest concerns before undergoing any aesthetic treatment.
Dr. Tutusaus and Dr. Vernetta have been part of our team for many years, and it's always enriching to talk with them. Here's the live broadcast we did on Instagram:

Men also take care of themselves
A study by Kantar (a leading data analysis company) concludes that men are increasingly taking better care of themselves, and Spaniards are at the top of the international rankings.
34% of Spaniards surveyed say they're up to date on trends and personal care, compared to 24% worldwide. This means the men's beauty and health market is booming .
They know that healthy skin is youthful skin, and the more they take care of it, the more attractive they will look. They know that in cosmetics they will find the answer to keeping their skin in good condition and slowing down aging.
But they're no longer just worried about skin irritation from shaving or hair loss; they want younger, wrinkle-free skin, and to achieve this, they use Botox or hyaluronic acid treatments if moisturizers or serums don't work for them.
More than 50% of Spanish men who take care of themselves also exercise , compared to 43% worldwide. This may be the reason why high-definition liposuction is one of the most in-demand surgeries today.
And the canons of male beauty continue to evolve. Or not so much, because men continue to seek the harmony and muscularity of Michelangelo's David.
