8 Medspa Treatments for Men: What Works, What to Expect

Male aesthetic patients now account for nearly 13% of all cosmetic procedures in the US — a 70% increase in a decade. The stigma around men visiting medspas has largely disappeared, replaced by a pragmatic attitude toward self-care, confidence, and professional appearance. Here are the 8 treatments men are booking most often.

1. Botox ('Brotox')

The #1 treatment for men. Botox for male patients typically targets forehead lines, glabellar '11' lines, and crow's feet. Men generally need more units than women due to stronger facial muscles. A natural, refreshed look (not feminized) is the goal. Cost: $400–$900 per treatment.

2. Laser Hair Removal (Back, Chest, Shoulders)

Men make up a large share of laser hair removal patients, particularly for back, chest, shoulders, and neck cleanup. 6–8 sessions achieve 85–95% permanent reduction. Cost: $200–$500 per session per area; package pricing available.

3. CoolSculpting or Emsculpt NEO (Abdominal Contouring)

Men frequently target the abdomen and flanks with body contouring. Emsculpt NEO is particularly popular for simultaneously reducing fat and building abdominal muscle definition. Many men treat the same areas they work on at the gym, for enhanced definition. Cost: $1,000–$4,000+ depending on treatment plan.

4. Kybella (Double Chin)

Submental fat (double chin) is a common male concern. Kybella or CoolMini applicators effectively reduce this area. 2–4 Kybella sessions are typically needed. Cost: $1,200–$1,800 per session.

5. HydraFacial for Men

Men's skin tends to be oilier and more prone to enlarged pores. The HydraFacial's extraction step is particularly beneficial. Many medspas offer male-specific protocols. No downtime makes it easy to fit into a busy schedule. Cost: $150–$300.

6. Laser Skin Resurfacing (Sun Damage)

Men who've spent years outdoors often have significant sun damage, deep lines, and coarse texture. Fractional laser (Fraxel, CO2) provides dramatic improvement with 1–3 sessions. Weekend downtime is often acceptable for working professionals. Cost: $800–$3,000+ per session.

7. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) for Hair Loss

PRP injections into the scalp stimulate dormant hair follicles and slow hair loss. Most effective for early-to-moderate male pattern baldness. 3–4 initial sessions followed by maintenance every 6–12 months. Often combined with prescription medications (minoxidil, finasteride). Cost: $600–$1,200 per session.

8. IV Therapy and NAD+

Men, particularly athletes and executives, frequently visit medspas for performance and recovery IV drips. Vitamin C, B-complex, glutathione, and NAD+ infusions are popular for energy, immune support, and cognitive performance. Cost: $150–$500 per infusion.
