This commentary examines the growing popularity of cosmetic procedures in men. With the recent increase in aesthetic procedures across the nation, it is important for physicians to understand trends as they evolve, which can help to optimize clinical training, business operations, and practice management. Although the popularity of cosmetic procedures in men has increased, available data on consumer behavior is limited. Our data fills this gap by examining the patterns of cosmetic procedures in men. Due to hormonal and anatomic differences, the pathophysiology of cutaneous aging differs between sexes, which can have significant implications for treatment. Our data demonstrates a positive trend in recent years and also breaks it down by individual procedures.
