Skin Treatments for Men

Men's skin ages differently from women's, often with a thicker texture and different concerns, yet most treatments on the market aren't designed with that difference in mind.

Non-Surgical Treatments Built Around Male Skin

Nashville Cosmetic Surgery's Skin Lounge offers a range of non-surgical treatments tailored to the concerns men bring up most often, from sun damage to fine lines to overall skin texture. Our team understands that male skin tends to be thicker and oilier than female skin, which can affect both treatment selection and expected results.

Common Skin Concerns Among Men

Men often come to us with a distinct set of concerns, shaped by skin type, sun exposure, and grooming habits that differ from those typically addressed in women's skincare.

Sun Damage - Years of outdoor activity or work often lead to more pronounced pigmentation and texture changes.
Razor-Related Irritation - Ingrown hairs, razor bumps, and general irritation are common concerns unique to regular shaving.
Fine Lines and Furrows - Forehead lines and furrows between the brows often appear more pronounced due to thicker underlying muscle.
Uneven Texture - Enlarged pores and rougher texture are common, particularly for men with oilier skin types.

Meet Our Skin Lounge Team

Our treatments are provided by a dedicated team of aesthetic experts, including Lexi McFadden, RN, alongside clinical aesthetician Carey Nicholiason. Together, they bring years of hands-on experience, adjusting technique and treatment selection to fit the specific characteristics of male skin.

Treatments Popular Among Our Male Patients

While our full menu of Skin Lounge treatments is available to every patient, a few tend to be especially popular among men addressing the concerns above.

Botox and Dysport remain among the most requested treatments, softening forehead lines and furrows that often appear more pronounced due to stronger facial musculature.
BBL HERO and Sciton Halo are frequently used to address sun damage and improve overall skin tone, particularly for men with a history of significant outdoor sun exposure.
SkinPen Microneedling and Chemical Peels help refine texture and minimize the appearance of pores, common concerns for men with thicker or oilier skin.
HA Fillers are often used more subtly with men, focusing on restoring a naturally full, well-rested appearance rather than adding noticeable volume.

Why Male Skin Requires a Different Approach

A few key differences make treating men's skin distinct from the approach typically used for female patients.

Thicker Skin: Men generally have thicker skin than women, which can affect how quickly certain treatments show visible results.
Higher Oil Production: Men's skin tends to produce more oil, which can influence candidacy and technique for certain laser and peel treatments.
Regular Shaving: Frequent shaving affects skin barrier health and can make certain areas more sensitive to specific treatments.

“From the moment you walk through the door, you're met with incredibly positive vibes. The entire team is extremely helpful and genuinely willing to answer any and all questions (and I had a lot of them), making the whole process comfortable and reassuring. Their dedication to patient care is evident in every interaction. I get excited every time I go, and I highly recommend them to anyone considering cosmetic surgery and/or aesthetics.”

What to Expect During Your Consultation

Because treatment recommendations vary so much depending on your specific concerns, your visit will begin with a thorough evaluation of your skin type, sun exposure history, and grooming habits. Our team will use this information to recommend the treatment, or combination of treatments, best suited to your goals. Many men are new to professional skincare treatments altogether, and our team takes time to explain each recommended option clearly, without assuming prior familiarity.

Why Choose Nashville Cosmetic Surgery?

Men's skin has its own characteristics—thicker, oilier, and prone to different signs of aging—that shape which treatments actually deliver results. Dr. Don Griffin, a dual-board-certified plastic surgeon who has led Nashville Cosmetic Surgery since 1998, brings that clinical understanding to every man's treatment plan. Our Skin Lounge team builds each concierge-style approach specifically around male skin and aesthetic goals, rather than applying a generic protocol.

Skin Treatments for Men Frequently Asked Questions

Are these treatments only for men who are new to skincare?

No. We work with men at every stage of experience, from those seeking their first professional treatment to patients maintaining an established skincare routine.

Will treatments make my skin look overly smooth or unnatural?

No. Our team's approach focuses on natural, subtle improvement that enhances your appearance without looking obviously treated.

Do men need different treatment strengths or settings than women?

Often, yes. Thicker, oilier skin can require adjusted technique or settings, which is why a personalized evaluation during your consultation is so important.

Can these treatments help with razor bumps or irritation from shaving?

Certain treatments, like specific laser and peel options, can help improve skin texture and reduce irritation related to regular shaving. Our team can recommend the best option during your consultation.

How do I know which treatments are right for my specific concerns?

This is best determined during a consultation, where our team evaluates your skin type, concerns, and goals to recommend a personalized treatment plan.
