Increasingly, we’re enjoying the presence of male clients at Clinic 42. Gone are the days where cosmetic treatments are solely for the fairer sex!
Male interest in caring for their skin has prompted skincare lines exclusively for men, and an extension of that is their interest in looking as healthy and as youthful as they feel.
Whether it’s a surf-loving 55-year-old who’d like to soften his crows from years on the waves squinting into the horizon, or the project manager who didn’t worry about sunblock but did worry that he spent most of his time in the car travelling between sites.
Those lines, once dynamic and expressive, have now become static and etched on the face as a permanent expression – and perhaps not an expression that reflects how you feel on a daily basis
It’s apparent that most men’s morning routine of shaving in front of the mirror is purely a task-driven activity, however, hours spent in front of Zoom has prompted some deeper contemplation of their appearance.
While the most common concerns that drive men to seek advice in our clinic are still about crow’s feet (the lines extending from the corners of the eyes), the forehead (horizontal) or glabella (vertical between the brows) and jawline, we find that men want to know more about what’s available. They often go on to have treatments such as IPL (intense pulse light) to not only address broken capillaries and pigment on the face, but on areas such as the backs of hands and forearms.
VENUS VERSA TREATMENTS
- Pigmentation & Redness
- Face Spot Treatment – 15 mins $80
- Nose & Cheeks – 15 mins $180
- Face – 45 mins $350
- Face & Neck – 60 mins $500

We also find that once patients have undertaken IPL treatment to address an issue, whether it be broken capillaries, pigment or full skin rejuvenation, they are more likely to follow up with caring for and protecting their skin and the investment they’ve made in it.
It also seems to come as a pleasant surprise that wrinkle treatments are only 30-minute appointments and dermal filler, and pigment/redness treatments are completed within an hour, with most having minimal discomfort and little-to-no downtime post treatment.
We encourage men to seek out practitioners skilled in treating men, as it’s important they have a strong understanding of male facial anatomy and understand how to work with male features.
