The landscape of aesthetic medicine is rapidly evolving, with men increasingly seeking both surgical and non-surgical procedures. The share of men among total non-surgical procedures performed globally is forecasted to reach 36% by 2035, growing at an impressive CAGR of 13.38%. This shift opens new opportunities, particularly in emerging markets such as Latin America and Asia. CPC has identified key trends and high-potential areas for the aesthetic medicine industry to capitalize on these growing demands. 

 

Top Procedures and Trends Among Men 

Among the most popular surgical procedures for men are liposuction, eyelid surgery, and gynecomastia correction. On the non-surgical front, the top procedures include botulinum toxin injections (Botox), hyaluronic acid fillers, and hair removal treatments.  

These minimally invasive procedures are becoming increasingly popular due to their quick results and minimal downtime. Notably, the share of men among the total non-surgical procedures performed worldwide continuously increased these last years and is forecasted to reach 36% by 2035, growing at an impressive CAGR of 13.38%.
