What are the most popular skin rejuvenation treatments for men? Whether you want to freshen your face, reduce fine lines, or change the texture of your skin, take a look at the top treatments and cosmetic procedures for men.

Botox Injections

Botulinum toxin type A treatment is the most popular minimally-invasive cosmetic skin treatment in America for men and women, according to statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). The ASPS's data shows that in 2020 men had 265,247 of the more than 4.4 million botulinum therapy injections.

This in-office procedure is a semi-permanent way to reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles between the eyebrows, around the mouth/nose, and around the eyes. The injectable can temporarily smooth the look of crow's feet, frown lines, and lip lines by relaxing the muscles underneath. Each injection sends a neurotoxin into the muscle. This stops the signal that tells the facial muscle to contract. Without movement, the skin on top of the muscle smooths. The result is less noticeable lines and wrinkles.

Laser Skin Resurfacing

Laser resurfacing is the second most popular minimally-invasive cosmetic procedure for men (with 125,571 treatments in 2020), according to the ASPS. Like Botox, laser skin resurfacing can also give you smoother skin and a more youthful appearance. But it isn't only used as an anti-aging treatment. Younger men might want to explore this option to reduce the appearance of scars and other facial skin blemishes.

A trained, experienced medical provider will use either an ablative laser to remove the outermost layer of skin and heat the underlying tissue or a non-ablative laser to stimulate collagen growth. Over time the treated skin will heal and you will see a change in the surface texture and pigment.

Soft Tissue Fillers

Also known as dermal fillers or facial fillers, soft tissue filler procedures account for 118,614 of the total minimally-invasive cosmetics treatments men chose to have in 2020, according to the ASPS. This type of injectable treatment can soften the look of fine lines, add facial fullness, or plump/change the shape of your lips.

Microdermabrasion Cosmetic Skin Rejuvenation Treatments

The ASPS's statistics show that in 2020 doctors and other cosmetic professionals performed 96,853 microdermabrasion procedures on men. This popular treatment is a minimally invasive option that can treat unevenness, change the texture of the skin, minimize fine lines, and reduce the appearance of some types of scars.

This procedure requires the provider to use a special piece of equipment (such as a diamond tip or crystal handpiece) to exfoliate the top layers of the skin. This rubs away dead skin cells and can reveal a younger-looking, smoother, more even complexion.
