SHA Magazine Health & Beauty
Health and beauty are also for men. Figures show that more and more men are interested in feel good both inside and outside. Although SHA public remains mainly female, the difference is minimal (54% female, 46% male approximately in 2012), the percentage of men has increased by almost 10% in the last two years and the tendency seems to continue growing.
So we have to be very aware of the physical and psychological differences between men and women. Although many beauty treatments are also available for men, therapists and doctors need to be aware of their individual needs and adapt their treatments according to gender. As stated by Dr. Mª Dolores Anton, “the main problem of many beauty & wellness centers is that treatments are designed just thinking of the needs of women and they are not prepared to deal with men.” However, “in 2012, 1 in 10 cosmetic treatments in the world was for a man and the tendency is that numbers keep rising, so we have to be prepared and know exactly what they want,” says our aesthetic medicine expert Larissa Perezhogina.
From what we have seen in our guests, men are especially concerned about problems like hair loss or skin aging. Therefore, we have created within our Noninvasive Aesthetic Medicine Unit a Men Rejuvenation Program covering both problems, including a gluconic acid peeling, a facial mesotherapy and a vitamin cocktail to revitalize the skin, with a scalp mesotherapy to strengthen and prevent hair loss. We also have other innovative aesthetic treatments designed for men which seek to diminish the double chin, reduce eye bags, remove fat from the abdomen, and so on.
From our beauty treatments for men, we also have many dental treatments like tooth whitening with minimal damage to the enamel or the latest in implant technology that allows renew your teeth in just two weeks.
Furthermore, according to the latest annual report from SpaFinder, men are increasingly demanding aesthetic and beauty treatments traditionally reserved for women, such as manicures, pedicures and facials. And that’s not just because spending on beauty products is increasingly accepted culturally, but also because it is becoming a social necessity. Today’s society requires men to be more concerned not only for their physical appearance and grooming, specially for businessmen accustomed to making public presentations, but also their health. Men also want to look and feel good and we recommend them these treatments for beauty and relax:
