Male Skin

The skin care as well as the overall image and appearance in general is not only a woman’s concern.

More and more men are seeking for a dermatologist’s advice on many issues that concern them which vary according to their age and needs.

From adolescence, young children are faced with various problems related to their skin such as acne and excessive oiliness and this leads them accompanied by their parents to the dermatologist in order to receive a valid and effective treatment for their children.

Acne in boys may lead to marks and scars that are very difficult to treat afterwards. This usually happens due to severity (especially cystic acne) and lack of early treatment of acne.

Moreover, the stretch marks that are formed on the skin from the abrupt increase in height is a problem that teenagers can face and the sooner the treatment starts, the better the results.

Young men may be aesthetically disturbed by pearly penile papules, which are sebaceous glands around the gland of the penis. However, in some boys and men, this is an aesthetic problem that troubles them and their partners. The pearly penile papules can be affectively and safely treated with laser CO2.

As they age, many men notice a thinning of their hair and a change in their hair quality. They often resort to products from hairdressers and pharmacies without the advice of a dermatologist and they are often disappointed with the results. The dermatologist can investigate their case and make the right diagnosis. Effective treatments can be recommended depending on the habits, expectations and hair growth condition of each patient.

The excessive hair growth in men is also a problem that the dermatologist can address. Laser Alexandrite technology offers a permanent reduction of the unwanted or excessive hair.

Another issue that concerns men who are interested in their body image is the accumulation of local fat in areas such as the abdomen and the sides of the waist or the double chin that persist even after weight loss. In areas with less fat, such as the double chin, we use special lipolytic injections with very good results.

As far as men’s skin care is concerned, the cleansing (special facial) and the use of microcrystals removes unnecessary oiliness, sebum and creates a feeling of freshness in men’s skin.

Aging process in male’s skin occurs later than in women’s due to better skin quality (better collagen, thicker skin). For those who want to prolong their youthful appearance for a long time, there are many solutions.
For the wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes, Botox is a good choice. If it is desired by the person who is concerned, mobility is also maintained for a very discreet effect.

Some men with bony face or others who lose a lot of weight may notice a loss of volume in areas such as the cheekbones and under the eyes, or nasolabial folds. The technology of the injectable fillers (hyaluronic acid/ellanse) naturally restores imperfections and repairs sagging without the need for surgical lifting. Also, the threads are offered as a choice when sagging is not severe.

Finally, rashes/pimples/lesions on the skin of the genital organs are the subject of dermatology-venereology and men should go to the dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.
