Objectives: To recognize that the male clientele is a growing market and that treatments tailor-fit for men are in demand. To understand aesthetic behaviours and goals of male patients. To learn various treatment combinations of injectables for men. To learn the how threadlifting can be part of the tools to obtain male aesthetic goals. Introduction: In recent times, the male aesthetic market has grown remarkably. Men want an enhancement of male features but desire natural-looking results. In order to achieve this, a combination of non-surgical aesthetic procedures is key. Materials / method: In this lecture, various injectable treatments and a combination of these will be presented. These includes toxin, fillers, lipolysis and threads. Short video clips of procedures will be shown as well as subsequent before and after photos. Results: Depending on the age, shape/morphologic features of the face, and goals of the patients, some or all of these maybe combined to have an excellent outcome while maintaining a natural look. Although the upper and mid face are common treatment areas, focus should also be placed on the lower face. Toxins will address dynamic wrinkles and bulky masseter muscles. Fillers can reshape and give structure to the jawline. Lipolysis can reduce superficial fat, usually the jowl and submental fat. Threads can tighten the skin of the neck, elevate the mid/lower face as well as reposition fat Conclusion: To address the demands of the growing male market, doctors should be cognizant of the aesthetic goals of men. Treatment strategies should be designed in consideration of cultural differences as well as personal preferences. The key to success is to be able to tailor-fit combination treatments to achieve the aesthetic goals. The incorporation of threads in the aesthetic toolbox completes the armament of procedures for an enhanced and natural outcome.
