Aesthetic andrology: Skin care for men - Male cosmetics and cosmetic dermatologic procedures

Abstract

At present, there is a steady increase in medical-aesthetic procedures performed in men. The trend for well-groomed men will continue as men are interested in improving their outward appearance. Within the scope of aesthetic andrology, a variety of surgical, non-surgical and skin care techniques are used to achieve a vital, attractive and youthful appearance, resulting in increased self-confidence for professional, social and emotional competence. A self-confident appearance generally means more success in both one's job and private life. © 2006 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
