Objectives: To provide an update on non-surgical procedures which are appropriate for Asian men (Filipinos) in different age groups.
Introduction: Men have become a significant segment of the aesthetic industry. Despite the demand, men have been ignored in studies involving beauty and ageing, which focused mainly on the female face. Successful aesthetic treatments by dermatologists require medical treatment of skin diseases and a holistic approach to approach changes related to ageing. A combination of non-surgical anti-ageing modalities is often required to meet the goals and expectations by the patients. Balance and harmony are essential to achieve a favorable cosmetic outcome.
Materials / method: 20 males aged 25 to 71 (mean age=38), Jan 2019-present. All patients were initially seen because of skin diseases. The patients were classified in the following age groups: 25-34.11; 35-44.11; 45-54.11; 55-64.11; 65-75. A treatment plan was created on all patients which consists of the ff:
1. Anamnesis
2. A treatment plan for the skin condition
3. Structural assessment/Visual impact analysis was conducted which included morphology, structure, equilibrium, skin quality, wrinkles, sagginess, projection and expression.
All patients underwent non-invasive and minimally invasive procedures
Results: All patients initially presented with a skin disease. Request for aesthetic procedures started only when their skin condition has improved significantly. Patients who belong to the 25 to 34 age group requested for prejuvenation and regular rejuvenation treatments to prevent and slow down the signs of ageing, respectively . Patients in the 45 and above age group were the most challenging as changes related to ageing required a combination of aesthetic procedures. All patients expressed satisfaction on combination treatments. No serious side effects were encountered on subsequent follow-up.
Conclusion: The number of male patients seeking aesthetic treatment continuosly increase. The dermatologist should be able to create a more holistic plan which do not only address treatment of skin conditions but also enhancement of facial features, overall skin health, health lifestyle/behavior and rejuvenation
