Objectives: 1- Focus aspects that impact treating male patients with nonsurgical cosmetic procedures;
2- Present anatomical, physiological and behavioral differences in male that warrant specific treatment considerations;

Introduction: Men are more and more concerned about their appearance and the number that accept nonsurgical cosmetic procedures are increasing.
There are anatomical, physiological and behavioral differences in male that warrant specific treatment considerations.
The knowledge of these factors are fundamental and have to be considered to avoid accentuation of feminine features and induce a feminizing effect.
Men are less inclined to procedures with downtime, are more conservative and tend to elect for only one procedure at a time mainly on their first treatment session.
Conclusion: While woman ask to be beautiful and young, men want to improve their appearance to appear relaxed, youthful not only in society but they realize that their physical appearance is more and more important to entering the market place, to potential employers or clients on the competitive professional world.
Single or even better combination therapies allow us to give optimal results for men who come to us for cosmetic concerns.
Certainly more and more men will be coming to our clinics and we will be able to have more self-confidence and self-assurance.
