Are Aesthetic Procedures for Men?
It is a common misconception that aesthetic treatments are solely meant for women. In the last few years, an increase in the number of men getting aesthetic treatments, including HydraFacials, toxin injections, fillers, and hair removal, indicates a huge market potential for male aesthetics. Although men remain a minority compared to women in the industry, the market growth of male aesthetics is currently keeping pace with growth of the female market.
Male Aesthetic Procedures in Tampa
Dr Fariba Gharai at Vein & Aesthetics Center of Tampa Bay suggests that awareness may be the biggest obstacle preventing male aesthetics from being as socially accepted as female aesthetics. With the aesthetic medical industry having been mainly marketed to women, men are less likely to be aware of the breadth – and acceptability – of the treatments available to them. As a result of being historically geared towards women, there is a common viewpoint that aesthetic treatments serve to increase femininity and beauty. This is flawed, as treatments can be used to address different aesthetic concerns among both men and women. The top aesthetic concern we see in men are age-related changes to the jawline and periocular areas. Injections with neurotoxins and dermal fillers can reduce tired and aged appearance without the feminization of facial features.
What Procedures are Available to Men?
Every aesthetic treatment/procedure is available to women and men. The first step is getting male patients into the office so Dr. Gharai can educate them and provide them the opportunity to consider available options. At Vein & Aesthetics Center of Tampa Bay, Dr Gharai, our board-certified surgeon, created a unique and individualized treatment plan that caters to the needs and desires of the patient while giving natural yet effective results.
Another large component in the growth of male aesthetics is accessibility. It has only been until recently that the stigma surrounding female aesthetic treatments and procedures has been reduced. With education and awareness perpetuated through social media and marketing, treatments are more accessible than ever. With greater accessibility often comes greater affordability. Treatments that were once considered prohibitively expensive and unnatural to many individuals are now seen as a staple. There is greater acceptance as the industry has grown, techniques have improved, and more options have become available. Similarly to the growth and acceptance of the female aesthetic market, the male aesthetic market seems to be following that pattern.
