Title : Reframing aesthetic ideals: Nuances of male neuromodulator treatments

Abstract:

The field of aesthetic medicine has increasingly recognized the importance of a gender-specific approach, particularly in the use of neuromodulators. Historically, aesthetic standards and treatment techniques have been largely developed with female patients in mind. However, male facial anatomy, aging patterns, aesthetic goals, and social perceptions differ significantly, necessitating a distinct approach. This presentation will delve into the critical nuances that differentiate male from female aesthetic treatment with neuromodulators, focusing on preserving masculine features, avoiding feminization, and achieving natural, confident results. Attendees will be guided through anatomical, functional, and psychosocial considerations that inform male-specific treatment planning. Topics will include differences in muscle mass and activity, skin thickness, brow shape, and facial proportions, as well as gendered expectations for movement and expressiveness. The session will highlight practical injection strategies, optimal dosing, and common pitfalls to avoid. Importantly, this talk will be grounded in current evidence-based guidelines and peer-reviewed literature, offering attendees not only clinical insight but also scientifically supported frameworks for practice. By bridging clinical experience with scholarly data, this presentation aims to enhance precision, safety, and satisfaction in neuromodulator treatments tailored specifically for male patients.
