Men want to look good. There’s nothing controversial or unmanly about it. The aesthetic medicine realm is rife with innovations that work to improve one’s appearance. Treatments like laser hair removal, Botox, microneedling, and fillers have exploded in popularity with men over the last decade. 

If you’re a man who’s sick of shaving rashes or an angry-looking frown, or you just want to slow down the visible signs of aging, this post is for you. We’ll cover the main med spa treatments for men, and what you can expect out of them.

Laser Hair Removal for Men 

Every year, more and more men choose laser hair removal. The treatment works by inhibiting hair follicle activity, which results in lasting hair reduction in the treated area. 

Laser devices are FDA-approved as safe and effective for reducing unwanted hair. The treatment is an ideal alternative for men who are prone to razor bumps or irritation from shaving. 

Effects and Results 

With a series of treatments, most men can expect to see significant and long-lasting hair reduction. 

Because laser actively prevents new growth of hair, laser hair removal can also solve a lot of the common issues men run into with shaving or waxing, like razor burn, ingrown hairs, irritation, and folliculitis. 

There haven’t been many laser hair removal studies that provide data based on sex, but of the ones that do, the data is very favorable. In a study published in 2024, the average hair reduction for the male participants was 80.6% with just a few treatments.

However, it’s important to stress that laser hair removal results vary greatly from person to person. There are so many factors that can impact your results, including the body part being treated, each client’s individual physiology, and even the type of laser machines that’s used. 

Treatment Areas for Men

One of the most popular services for men is laser hair removal on men’s back, but nothing is off limits. Men also come to treat their chest, neck, face, and more. We even offer men’s Brazilian laser hair removal at SEV! 

It’s important to choose a med spa with providers that have the training and experience needed to provide great laser hair removal for men.  

An aesthetic background is important, especially if you’re coming in for something that requires an artistic flair, like men’s face laser hair removal to sharpen your beard outline. 

Important to Know 

  • Do choose an accredited, well-rated provider
  • Don’t expose yourself to the sun or use self-tanner before or after treatment
  • Do review your consent and medical clearance forms thoroughly  
  • Don’t feel nervous or awkward – your nurse or laser technician is a pro who understands that getting laser hair removal as a man is perfectly reasonable. 
  • Do shave 24-48 hours before your appointment

        Injections for Men

        Injections for men are also gaining popularity thanks to their ability to offer targeted, precision corrections. 

        There’s also a lot of confusion, though, as different types of injectables do very different things. As a man, it’s important you understand your options.

        Botox for Men

        Treatments like Botox, Xeomin, and Dysport are neurotoxins that work through targeted muscle relaxation. As aesthetic treatments, they help prevent the muscle contractions responsible for expression wrinkles. 

        According to a survey by the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, they’re the most common non-surgical treatments that aesthetic surgeons provide to their male patients. 

        When men get Botox, it’s usually to reduce the muscle activity responsible for frown lines and forehead wrinkles.

        Most of our male clients get Botox to treat the frown lines between their brows.  Softening those deep folds helps them look more youthful and less angry. Botox for men is also effective for smoothing away forehead lines, crow’s feet, and can even be used to create an upper lip lift or to smooth the chin. 

        The wonderful thing about neurotoxins is that the results usually only require a single treatment. You can expect to see and feel their effects within two weeks of treatment, with results that usually last for 2-4 months. 

        Outside of aesthetics, neurotoxins also have other applications like reducing excessive sweating, jaw clenching, muscle spasms, or headaches. 

        Fillers and Lip Injections 

        Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, which add targeted volume, have also become popular with men in recent years. Men often get injected in the jawline or chin for a more chiseled look. 

        Nowadays, a lot more men are also getting lip fillers. Lip injections for men enhance lip volume and help encourage better lip hydration and smoothness. They can also be used to reduce the look of perioral wrinkles or to improve balance and symmetry. 

        Men often opt for subtle formulas like Volbella or for half vial treatments instead of full ones. 

        Other Injections for Men

        Other injectables that have become popular in recent years include Kybella, which treats a double chin, and SkinVive which helps increase facial hydration by injecting hyaluronic acid into the skin.  

        Important to Know

        • Do make sure your provider is a nurse or doctor who is trained and specialized in providing aesthetic treatments like injectables. 
        • Don’t ignore information in your pre-treatment medical forms – it’s important you confirm you’re a safe candidate for treatment. 
        • Do schedule a consultation, especially if it’s your first time getting injected. 
        • Don’t drink alcohol or take any treatments/medications with a blood-thinning effect. 
        • Do follow your provider’s aftercare instructions closely, and remember that instructions will vary based on the type of cosmetic injection you had. 

        Skin Tightening for Men 

        Skin tightening treatments are becoming increasingly popular for men, especially for firming the body or eliminating skin imperfections. 

        The various non-surgical procedures that fall under this category can visibly correct a long list of concerns, including wrinkles, skin sagging, scarring, blemishes, discoloration, stretch marks, and even stubborn fat pockets. 

        Most skin and body treatments work through collagen induction and tissue remodeling. This means they deliver energy to a targeted level of skin or fat, which induces a healing and coagulation response.

        In the skin, this stimulates collagen and elastin production, which are basically the skin’s underlying scaffolding, responsible for its ability to maintain its structure and elasticity.

        There are several major technologies that offer effective skin tightening for men. They vary in their levels of intensity, from gentle and relaxing treatments like Forma Radiofrequency to utterly transformative Potenza or Morpheus8 RF Microneedling.  

        Important to Know 

        • Do choose a trained, accredited provider with aesthetic specialization. Skin tightening treatments should always be carried out by registered nurses or other medical professionals. 
        • Don’t expose your skin to the sun before or after getting a skin tightening treatment. Sun exposure increases your risk of side effects while also compromising your results. 
        • Don’t neglect your provider’s pre and post-care instructions. Follow them closely to ensure best results and quick recovery. 
        • Do schedule follow-up treatments. Most skin and body firming treatments require several sessions to create a significant change.
