Treatments For Men
Many men care deeply about their appearance and want to present themselves to the world in the best light possible. While anti-aging and aesthetic treatments may be more widely discussed amongst women, many men want to age gracefully and feel confident in their looks.
At Shine MD, we want to make both men and women feel supported in their journeys of self-betterment. All of our treatment options can be performed on people of any gender, but there are some treatments that we specifically recommend for our male patients who are looking to begin a professional skin care routine.

Facial Rejuvenation for Men
Shine MD offers facial rejuvenation treatments that can improve common signs of aging, like wrinkles, skin laxity, and facial volume loss. Many of our treatments can also change the trajectory of skin aging, and prevent the formation of future aging concerns.
Facial contour and volume can be enhanced and rejuvenated with the use of dermal fillers and neuromodulators. Dermal fillers can add definition to the jawline and cheekbones, creating a more contoured and traditionally masculine appearance to the face. Neuromodulators like Botox®, sometimes referred to as Brotox, can minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles caused by facial expressions, as well as prevent the development of future wrinkles.
BroadBand Light (BBL) treatments, such as Forever Young BBL®, can revitalize the face and improve the overall tone and texture of the skin. BBL treatments are also research-proven to alter the gene expression of the cells, making the skin appear more youthful and slowing the aging process. Experts recommend three BroadBand Light treatments a year to help decelerate overall skin aging.
Forever Young BBL® is one of most commonly performed treatments on men at Shine MD. It targets sun spots, redness, and blood vessels. It can also help treat symptoms of rosacea. Our male patients particularly like this treatment because it is a natural, quick and minimal downtime procedure that improves the skin’s texture, tone, and quality, giving you a polished appearance.
Male Skin Concerns
The medical providers at Shine MD are General Practitioners with Special Interest in Dermatology, and they offer many treatment options for common dermatological skin conditions amongst men. Many men experience acne in their teenage years, and for some, acne continues into adulthood. According to a study published in the Journal of Drugs and Dermatology, men are also more likely to develop acne scars than women. Shine MD’s Acne Clinic offers physician-led treatments for acne and acne scarring.
Men also commonly experience other skin conditions, such as rosacea, actinic keratosis, and skin lesions like moles and skin tags. If you have a dermatological skin condition, your treatment may be covered by the Medical Services Plan of British Columbia. Find out more by visiting our MSP Referral Form.
Male Hair Concerns
It is extremely common for men to experience concerns about their head, facial, and body hair. Many men shave their faces tediously, only for the shadow of new hair to appear hours later. Unwanted body hair is also common on the chest, stomach, and back. Laser hair removal can offer long-term hair reduction for men who have excess or unwanted facial or body hair.
Hair loss also affects a large proportion of men. According to the Canadian Hair Loss Foundation, about thirty percent of men will experience male pattern balding by the time they are thirty years old, and 50 percent will experience it by 50 years old. Platelet-rich plasma hair restoration is effective at slowing the progression of hair loss and increasing hair density.
