The Rise of Aesthetics for Men

Once considered a female-only industry, the world of aesthetics is now welcoming more men than ever. From anti-wrinkle injections to laser treatments and professional skincare plans, more men are turning to aesthetic treatments to take care of their appearance with expert-led support — and they’re doing it confidently.

At Skinvestment in Ramsbottom, we’re seeing a steady rise in male clients looking for subtle, natural-looking aesthetic treatments that align with their personal and professional goals. This blog explores why male aesthetics is booming, which treatments are most popular, and how clinics like ours are supporting male patients with tailored care.

Why More Men Are Turning to Aesthetic Treatments

There’s no single reason — and that’s the point. Men are no longer sticking to outdated views that skin or anti-ageing treatments are "just for women." They're investing in themselves, for reasons that range from:

Wanting to look less tired or stressed
Maintaining a youthful appearance in competitive careers
Reversing sun damage or signs of ageing
Building confidence in their personal lives
Managing skin concerns like pigmentation, rough texture, or acne scars

And crucially, they're no longer waiting until the problem feels "bad enough." Preventative care and long-term skin investment is a growing trend — for men just as much as women.

Top Aesthetic Treatments for Men

At Skinvestment, we tailor every plan to suit your skin type, goals, and lifestyle. Below are some of the most requested treatments from our male patients:

1. Anti-Wrinkle Injections ("Brotox")

The nickname may sound playful, but the results are serious. Anti-wrinkle injections reduce dynamic lines like frown lines, forehead creases, and crow’s feet — helping men look less tired or angry while still maintaining their natural expression.

✅ Quick, minimal downtime

✅ Subtle results that don't feminise the face

✅ Typically lasts 3–4 months

2. Dermal Fillers for Men

Filler isn’t just about lip plumping. For men, it can be used to restore facial volume loss, define the jawline or chin, and subtly lift areas that have lost structure over time.

✅ Customised to male facial anatomy

✅ Great for temples, mid-face, and jawline

3. Prescription Skincare Plans

Some men want results without needles. We create bespoke prescription skincare routines using medical-grade actives like tretinoin, niacinamide, azelaic acid, and skin-brightening agents to reduce pigmentation, acne, and roughness.

✅ Evidence-based skincare backed by a doctor

✅ Tailored to male skin (typically thicker, oilier)

✅ Can improve tone, texture, and breakouts

4. Laser Treatments for Men

Laser skin treatments (like our 3JUVE system) help improve sun damage, redness, pigmentation, and collagen production — ideal for men with outdoor jobs or sun damage.

✅ Non-invasive, fast recovery

✅ Targets deeper concerns like broken veins or brown spots

✅ Results build over time with minimal disruption

5. Microneedling & Skin Boosters

For men who want improved skin texture, fewer lines, and fresher tone, microneedling (with or without exosomes or polynucleotides) is a great option.

✅ Stimulates natural collagen

✅ No major downtime

✅ Can be combined with LED for extra glow

Why Skinvestment is a Great Choice for Male Aesthetic Care

Choosing the right clinic matters. Male skin is biologically different — typically oilier, thicker, and with different ageing patterns. And your aesthetic goals may be more about refinement and prevention, not transformation.

At Skinvestment, we:

Take a bespoke, doctor-led approach to every case
Offer a discreet, welcoming environment with flexible booking
Focus on natural results that preserve masculine features
Understand the importance of function, skin health, and confidence

You’ll never feel like you’re walking into a women-only space — and you’ll never be recommended treatments that don’t align with your goals or comfort level.

What to Expect at Your First Appointment

Your consultation is all about understanding your goals. Whether you're looking for a solution to a specific skin concern or want guidance on how to age confidently, we’ll talk through:

Your skin history and daily routine
Any lifestyle factors affecting your skin or confidence
Your goals and areas of concern
Treatment options — from subtle tweaks to long-term plans

We’ll also take photographs and may suggest a skin analysis, so you can track your results over time. There’s no obligation to start treatment on the day.

FAQs About Male Aesthetic Treatments

Do men really get Botox? Absolutely — and in growing numbers. Anti-wrinkle injections help soften harsh lines while keeping your expression natural. Most men who try it wish they'd done it sooner.

Will people notice I’ve had treatment? Not if you don’t want them to. The best aesthetic treatments are subtle — you’ll look fresher, not frozen.

Is it weird to care about my skin? Not anymore. Healthy skin and confidence go hand-in-hand. Looking after your appearance is part of self-care — and a smart investment in how you show up every day.

What’s the most popular treatment for men? Anti-wrinkle injections and prescription skincare plans are usually the first step. From there, we build a personalised routine based on your needs.
