In the past, cosmetic facial treatments have more often been viewed as a female-centric pursuit. However, times are changing and in the UK, increasingly more men are starting to explore aesthetic treatments.
At Family Dental Clinic, we recognise and celebrate this shift, providing a safe and inclusive space for all individuals, of all genders, to enhance their natural features.
Common Male Aesthetic Concerns
Men, like women, have concerns about their appearance. The outdated belief that these concerns belong exclusively to one gender is a thing of the past, with jawline, chin and anti-wrinkle treatments becoming increasingly popular among men.
Traditionally, a masculine look was stereotypically associated with a ‘rugged’ and more ‘aged’ appearance. However, recent shifts in societal and male beauty standards have led many to prefer a smoother and more refined look, including a well-defined facial structure and fresh, youthful skin, which can be achieved through the use of dermal filler and Botox treatment.
Breaking Down the Stigma
Despite this shift, unfortunately there’s still a stigma that lingers around men exploring facial aesthetics (ridiculous, we know!). Some perceive it as vain or ‘less manly’, preventing them from openly discussing or pursuing their desired treatments.
In reality, seeking aesthetic enhancement is not a sign of vanity, or a threat to your masculinity, but rather an act of self-care and a desire to feel good in your own skin. We all want to look and feel our best and there’s nothing wrong with that!
Our Approach
At our family dental practice, our professionals use their clinical expertise and extensive experience to create tailored treatment plans, prioritising patient safety and care.
Whilst procedures do not differ between genders, we do understand that each of our patients’ aesthetic wishes are unique, and no face is the same. This requires us to consider not only the correct dosages and placement to achieve desired outcomes, but also navigate and assess the specific nuances of your individual facial anatomy.
Privacy and Confidentiality
Whilst we support cosmetic enhancements, our patient’s privacy remains a top priority for us. We adhere to stringent measures to protect your personal information and we’re bound by strict confidentiality agreements, ensuring that all details regarding your treatment plans, medical history and aesthetic goals are handled with the utmost discretion.
We’ve blended aesthetic treatments seamlessly into our dental practice, so unlike many traditional setups, there’s no specific spot for these procedures. If you’re worried about stepping into our practice, it won’t be apparent what you’re here for. We also respect your privacy by not taking any pictures without your permission. Your peace of mind matters to us, so rest easy knowing you won’t find any unexpected images anywhere.
Choosing to explore cosmetic facial treatments is a personal decision, which at FDC, we support. Our commitment however is not to push a narrative of needing to conform to today’s beauty standards, or what those standards are, but to offer a safe and welcoming environment for those seeking enhancement.
