Aesthetic medicine for men: end of a taboo

Doctor Smarrito shares his experience in aesthetic medicine for men

La cosmetic surgery is no longer just reserved for women. In our clinic facial treatments for the man are in constant development, it's no longer a taboo.

We have noticed that today's man takes more and more care of himself and his appearance, without falling into an unnatural aesthetic drift. In the end, it is a simple awareness that health of our skin, form in the very sense of the body is an investment for the future and ultimately our only wealth.

Male patients in aesthetic medicine represent 20 to 30% of the activity in our Riviera clinics.

Dr. Smarrito, on the other hand, has developed a larger male patient base at the surgical level given his skills in liposuction at the level of the stomach, cryo-liposuction very suitable for male clients, taking care of enlarged breasts (gynecomastia), Hair Transplant that we have been carrying out for many years in our centers.

In fact, at the facial level the request is mainly to no longer have “ you look tired“. it is therefore about staying in shape, feeling better and giving an image of an active and dynamic man.

Ultimately, wrinkles are not the main issue in men. It’s more about relaxation in the face. In this context, the hyaluronic acid injections will be perfectly suited to fill in dark circles, restore an appearance to the cheekbones and strengthen the lines of the mandible to finally have a face with marked masculine features without being hollowed out. The natural appearance is also very important in this approach.

In this context, Dr Smarrito will offer you “tailor-made” injections it will probably be several types of hyaluronic acid to respond to the different areas of the face to be treated by varying the densities of this acid.

Let’s talk pricing…

It should be noted that the cost of treatments for men is often twice as high as for women because the quantities of hyaluronic acid to have an effect are generally double. For marked foreheads and excessively present fine lines, without wanting to completely erase them, mesotherapy based on botulinum toxin can be carried out or even a classic botulinum toxin treatment which helps reduce wrinkles.

Towards a precise diagnosis of the skin…

We can also carry out a diagnosis of the quality of the skin at the center and offer “tailor-made” treatment in a range of expert treatments adapted to men, allowing the combination of micro dermabrasion of the skin and rehydration thanks to skin booster and mesotherapy enriched with trace elements, and skin photo stimulation using LEDs.

 The face can also benefit from stem cell and nanofat reinjection techniques in which Dr. Smarrito is an expert and which can be carried out in partnership with the La Prairie clinic where Dr. Smarrito practices.

The level of belly men often have a demand at the level of a fatty deposit partly below the umbilical. In case of low quantity this accumulation can be improved by sessions of cryo-lipolysis that is to say the application of cold to reduce fat through inflammation.

But very often, in our center this old technique will be replaced by the new cryo-liposuction technique invented by Dr. Smarrito. This allows you to perform “mini” liposuction without general anesthesia, without pain, without stopping sports and with very little bruising. Cryoliposuction allows you to remove on average between 0 and 2 liters of fat for an instantaneous and very demonstrative effect of eliminating fatty deposits.

Finally, techniques of hair transplants could also be considered in combination with PRP injections to improve early baldness.

Un personalized treatment plan within the framework of aesthetic medicine will be established for each patient according to the initial diagnosis and the patient's wishes, in order to have an optimal result in complete safety.
