The world of the modern man in many areas requires speed, efficiency and effectiveness. You invest time and energy to work a lot, and often neglect sleep – and that’s because it’s hard to press pause in the race to realize yourself and your plans. In the whirlwind of modern times, everyone knows perfectly well by now that at business meetings, conferences or job interviews, proper appearance and one’s own comfort are important, not even to mention the „first impression.” However, the problem (as is usually the case) is that we know, but we don’t apply this knowledge.
External help can come to the rescue. Aesthetic medicine, for example, is able both to effectively eliminate signs of fatigue (using hyaluronic acid fillers you can correct dark circles under the eyes, too pronounced furrows around the mouth or between the eyebrows), and through the use of botulinum toxin to help with excessive sweating – which for men working in a suit and leading an active life can be quite a nuisance. The treatment for hyperhidrosis is a procedure that lasts only 20 minutes, thanks to which we can forget about the problem for about 6-8 months. It is encouraging, therefore, that men are taking advantage of this help more and more often.
Of course, the stereotype is still evident in places that aesthetic medicine is a subject mainly for women. Uninformed people most readily associate it exclusively with the ubiquitous lip or cheek augmentation. But the truth is that the geometry of the male face is based on completely different principles and proportions. The fear of feminization after the procedures is unfounded. Working with hyaluronic acid-based preparations (Juvederm, Juvederm Voluma or Volift), it is even possible to enhance typically masculine features – widening the masseters, marking the jawline, widening the temples – thus emphasizing sharp lines and contours, which is, after all, the opposite of the gentle contours of the female face.
The role of aesthetic medicine for men is also easily visualized by comparing it to modern dentistry. The idea here is prevention, that is, the removal of small „cavities” so as not to lead to significant deterioration in the overall appearance. Such treatments usually last about 45 minutes, and each patient gets a customized annual plan. And for any man, this is an important issue.

This, among other things, is why a man in a cosmetology salon will cease to be a novelty in a while. Now that the notion that these are women’s things is going away, space is being made for the notion that while a guy who takes care of himself doesn’t need to „groom” himself, according to the maxim „take care of your body, because it’s the only place you have to live” – something has to do. Massages, treatments to soothe inflammation and irritation after shaving, treatments to moisturize the skin of men who often play sports – today we won’t call it a fad, but simply hygiene.
What’s more, holistic cosmetology in the hands of an excellent professional is also a way to get rid of traces of acne scars, excessively shiny or oily skin, or even excessive hair loss (!). Men today are also more likely to take advantage of teeth whitening, laser hair removal and treatments in general to speed up the achievement of their dream figure. With so many conveniences, aesthetics under a tie is purely a matter of decision.
To make the best decision, we heartily encourage you. Emphasizing the aforementioned: something must be done. We also adhere to this, which is why we provide close cooperation with a clinical nutritionist, a personal trainer and a dermatologist as part of the care provided at Face and Body.
And such a team is a guarantee of results when you want to act.
