Why Aesthetic Treatments Aren’t Just for Women – Advice from The Aesthetics Doctor
For years, the world of aesthetic medicine has been seen as a female-focused space. But things are changing. More and more men are embracing non-invasive aesthetic treatments – not to chase trends or erase their character, but to feel confident, fresh and like the best version of themselves.
Dr Ahmed, founder of The Aesthetics Doctor with clinics in London, Leeds, and Cheshire, recently shared his insights in an article with The Telegraph discussing why aesthetics treatments are no longer just for women – and how skin rejuvenation and facial contouring procedures can help men maintain a naturally youthful appearance.
“Male skin is around 33% thicker than female skin, which gives some initial resistance to ageing,” explains Dr Ahmed. “But collagen production still slows down with age, and that’s when visible signs begin to show – including frown lines, volume loss, and other common skin concerns.”
Why More Men Are Choosing Aesthetic Treatments
It’s not about vanity – it’s about confidence. From high-performing professionals to busy dads, male patients are looking for simple, effective options that help them look rested, healthy, and alert.
“Aesthetic treatments aren’t about the latest trend or booking something just because your favourite influencer had it done,” Dr Ahmed shares on Instagram. “That’s why a bespoke treatment plan is so important.”
Rather than opting for drastic change, most men want subtle, natural-looking results – something that enhances their facial features without erasing their character.
Key Concerns for Male Patients
While women often seek treatment for fine lines, nasolabial folds, or pigmentation, men typically focus on concerns like:
• Sagging jawlines
• Deep forehead lines
• Poor skin texture or dullness
• Muscle definition loss or softening of facial structure
Many also want to address early signs of ageing while still maintaining a masculine appearance.
A Stronger, More Defined Look – For Men Who Want a More Masculine Appearance
While many male patients want to subtly freshen their look, others are specifically looking to enhance traditionally masculine key features – particularly the jawline, chin, and overall facial volume.
This is becoming more common among men in their 30s, 40s and beyond, who feel their features have softened with age or fat deposits. A well-defined jawline and balanced chin are associated with strength, health, and confidence – and in some cases, men are simply after a sharper, more chiselled look that still appears natural.
“Some of my male patients are not just concerned with looking younger – they want to look stronger, more confident, and more masculine,” explains Dr Ahmed.
Why a Consultation is Essential
At The Aesthetics Doctor, the journey starts with an in-depth initial consultation. Dr Ahmed believes that understanding your goals, lifestyle and skin type is essential for great results.
“Whether you’re looking for subtle tweaks or a full cosmetic enhancement, I’ll create a personalised treatment plan to help you achieve your desired results – safely and effectively,” he says.
This tailored approach is especially important for men, whose facial anatomy, skin density and ageing patterns differ significantly from women’s.
Treatments for a More Masculine Facial Shape
Jawline Fillers:
Using dermal filler treatments, Dr Ahmed can sculpt and sharpen the jawline to create a more angular, defined lower face. This can also help reduce the appearance of marionette lines, jowls and stubborn pockets of lax skin.
Chin Augmentation:
For those with a naturally receding or underdeveloped chin, subtle filler placement can bring better balance to the profile and enhance overall facial structure.
Masseter Slimming (or Enhancement):
Depending on the patient’s goals, Dr Ahmed can either soften a bulky jaw (common in men who grind their teeth) or emphasise the facial muscles for a broader, more powerful look.
Natural Results That Still Look Like You
Men are often wary of looking “done” – and rightly so. Dr Ahmed’s approach focuses on restoring skin health and definition, not changing identity.
By working with the natural structure of the male face, and using only the most effective cosmetic procedures, he’s able to deliver discreet, powerful results that honour your individuality.
