5 Misconceptions About Male Aesthetics
Myth 1: "Botox feminises men"
Truth: Right-dose male Botox preserves expression while softening dynamic lines. The problem is over-dosing, not Botox. Male glabella and masseter dosing is typically 25–50% higher than female.
Myth 2: "Filler always shows in men"
Truth: Goal differs. Sharper, more angular lines for male jawline. Jawline definition and chin projection are typical male requests. Discreet results are achievable through dose titration.
Myth 3: "Hair treatments are for women only"
Truth: Male-pattern hair loss is a top reason for consultation. PRP, GFC, and scalp mesotherapy with male-tailored cocktails. Pre/post-transplant care included.
Myth 4: "I can't tell anyone"
Truth: Privacy is preserved. The strongest signal of a good result is "you look different but I can't tell what changed." Natural outcomes prevent social stigma.
Myth 5: "Body aesthetics is not for men"
Truth: Pectoral, deltoid, calf-asymmetry indications exist for male patients. Patient-selection criteria are stricter; not every patient qualifies, but options exist.
Bottom line
Male aesthetics is an anatomy discipline, not a gender stereotype. With the right dose, line, and physician, male patients can have any treatment within natural limits.
