Special attention is needed when addressing the needs of men due to inherent and environmental differences.

​

For example: 

 

• Although men tend to resist wrinkling, due to environmental factors they may show the signs of aging more readily.

• Men have greater increased cumulative sun damage and are less likely to use sun protection thus are two times more likely to die from melanoma when compared to women.

• Due to course thick hairs, razor bumps, and ingrown hairs are common complaints.

• More than 50% of men experience hair loss by age 50. 

​

In addition, recent studies have demonstrated increased rates of men seeking cosmetic therapies.
