Men’s Cosmetic Treatments

Testosterone is the main sex hormone for men. This hormone produces more body hair and thicker skin (25%) for men than women. It is the hormone that is relied upon for physical development in pubescent boys and good sexual health for men. Men are actually at an advantage to start with due to having thicker skin which contains more collagen. Their skin generates more moisture due to increased quantities of lactic acid of sweat.

Men's testosterone levels progressively decline with age, with more noticeable impacts beginning to manifest from the age of thirty. Usually, these symptoms include weight gain and hair loss.

Men's skin impacts are less obvious until they reach their 50s, even though collagen starts to diminish at the age of thirty. In addition to providing protection from the weather, facial hair may also help shield the skin from pollutants and tobacco. One intriguing finding, nevertheless, relates to the evolution of the masculine face over time.

Men are more likely to develop deep lines in the forehead and not so many around the mouth. The skull around the eye area is much larger in men than women and this lack of bony support gives men a more hollowed look which exacerbates bags and wrinkling at the top part of the face. Men have more sebaceous glands around the mouth due to the high production of facial hair.

The facial fat which gives support and structure starts to decline in 40's leading to gradual appearance of nose-to-mouth lines and loss of jawline definition in 50's.
