The treatment plan for every patient at Rejuvena Medical Aesthetics is customised to the individual according to the client’s facial anatomy and desired outcome. However, more broadly speaking, there are important differences when working with the male face, that must be integrated into the personalised approach. Inexperienced practitioners often fail to work with these differences, ignoring the rules of the male aesthetic. In treating men and women, the same way, an unsatisfactory outcome is likely.Whilst beauty remains in the eye of the beholder and changes over time, there are some observations that hold true about what constitutes a desirable and masculine look. The first consideration when treating the male face is the brow. The brow is fundamental to a masculine vs. feminine appearance.

In our female clients we aim to achieve a gentle arch (aka the “Kylie Kick”) and aim to have the brow sit higher, a few centimetres above the brow bone. This would look bizarre on a man’s face where a straighter and lower brow is more desirable. Sandra modifies her treatment technique to respect this.

Men may also have, or desire, a wider and squarer jaw. Careful consideration of the anatomical lines that make up the male facial anatomy determine how we use filler injections to maintain or enhance such features.

Men often have higher hairlines, or an absent hairline. When treating lines and wrinkles in this area, it demands a treatment map that extends up into the scalp. Without treating higher towards the scalp, it is a job half done, and makes for a poor aesthetic result.

Generally speaking, men genetically carry a higher muscle mass than women throughout their body and the face is no exception. Men’s brows and foreheads are usually stronger and require as much as 50% more product to achieve a good result. At Rejuvena Medical Aesthetics, Sandra understands this and uses higher dosages as required. Unlike other clinics however we do not charge men more to reflect the higher dosages of product that is often needed.
