More men get Botox than any other procedure. It’s injected into your face and neck to treat lines. The goal is to make your skin look smoother and more refreshed.

This "power peel" gently sands your skin. It's used to lighten age spots and wrinkles, acne scars, fine lines, and other skin issues.

You may notice a difference right away, but you'll likely need a few sessions to really see a big change.

As you age, your face loses some of the fat, bone, and muscle layers under your skin. Wrinkles are easier to see when you no longer have that fullness.

This treatment uses a chemical solution to remove damaged outer layers of skin. It should help smooth fine lines and wrinkles. It may also be able to reduce age spots, scars, and blotches.

They’re most often used on the face, but can also be applied to any area with sun damage, like your neck and hands.

Also known as a laser peel, this is a newer plastic surgery technique. A surgeon removes damaged skin one layer at a time with a targeted laser. It's used to treat fine lines or wrinkles, acne scars, birthmarks, and brown spots. Laser peels are sometimes used together with facelifts or eyelifts.

Rhinoplasty changes your nose's size, shape, or both. It can get rid of bumps in the middle or a reshape the tip. The surgery can also make a nose straighter or smaller.

Signs of aging often show up around your eyes long before you spot them in other places on your body. As skin ages, it can sag, causing your eyelids to look droopy. This "lift" removes extra skin around the upper or lower lid, or both. It also gets rid of extra fat that can cause puffy areas under your eyes.

These small red, blue, or purple veins lie just under your skin. Though you might have them other places, they appear most often on the legs. Laser treatment heats them up and destroys them. It works best on small blood vessels. Sometimes this method is used together with a process called sclerotherapy, where doctors inject a chemical solution into the veins, making them collapse.

This treatment uses a small hollow tube connected to a suction machine to remove body fat. It also can sculpt your physique, sometimes along with other procedures. Liposuction is also used to treat a condition in men and teen boys where breasts can grow large.

Sometimes genetics, obesity, or certain meds cause enlarged breasts in men. Surgery can remove the extra fat and tissue to make a flatter, firmer chest. Sometimes liposuction can get the job done. Results usually last unless you gain a lot of weight or take certain medicines.

About 1 in 10 people who get facelifts are men. There are different types, including a "mini" facelift. It often takes months for swelling to fully go down from any “lift” procedure.

This process can add hair to a bald spot or areas that are thinning. First a surgeon takes small sections of strands, usually from the back of your head. Then they place them into the balding areas. It may take a few sessions and a few months for your hair to look fuller.
