Men's skin is different
Men's skin is generally thicker, oilier and has a denser network of hair follicles. Pores can appear larger, and acne scars from earlier years are common. Facial muscles used for chewing and frowning tend to be stronger, and aging often shows first as a heavier jawline, forehead lines and loss of definition beneath the chin. Shaving, sun exposure and irregular skincare habits add further stress. These differences influence how treatments are dosed and placed. A plan designed for a woman's features may not suit a man's face, and vice versa.
Treatments men often ask about
Men who visit our Apgujeong clinic frequently ask about the following options. Most prefer subtle, low-maintenance improvements that fit around work and travel, so Dr. Song tends to prioritize the one or two treatments likely to make the most meaningful difference.
- Jaw Botox to refine a wide lower face caused by strong masseter muscles
- Wrinkle Botox for forehead, frown and eye lines
- Ultherapy Prime, LinearZ or Thermage FLX for jawline and lower-face lifting
- Potenza for enlarged pores and acne scars
- CO2 laser for moles, age spots and similar lesions
- Rejuran Healer for tired, stressed skin
Keeping results natural and masculine
Dr. Song's approach focuses on reading the structure you already have. For men, that usually means preserving a strong brow, defined jaw and natural movement. During Needs Mapping, she examines skin thickness, muscle strength and bone structure, then adjusts Botox units and energy settings accordingly. Precision matters: at Live Young Clinic, every 0.1 unit of Botox and every shot of energy is placed by the doctor. The Curated Plan often keeps things simple, with one or two targeted treatments rather than a long list, in line with our principle of suggesting only the changes you need.
Privacy and practical timing
The clinic has a private consultation room and one-to-one treatment rooms, which many men appreciate. Some treatments involve little visible downtime, while others, such as Potenza or CO2 laser, can leave redness or small marks for a period that varies by person. Dr. Song will explain what to expect so you can plan around work meetings or travel. Sun protection after laser and energy-based treatments is important, even if you do not normally use sunscreen.

Frequently asked questions
Will Botox make me look less masculine?
It should not when dosed for male anatomy. Dr. Song places Botox to soften lines while preserving natural expression and strong features. Men often need different amounts from women because of stronger muscles, which is assessed at consultation.
Can jaw Botox slim a square face?
When a wide lower face is caused by large masseter muscles, jaw Botox may gradually soften the width. If the width is mainly from bone structure, the effect is more limited. Dr. Song will assess which applies to you.
Which treatment helps large pores on a man's face?
Potenza microneedle radiofrequency is often considered for enlarged pores and acne scars. A series is typically recommended, and redness or needle marks may last around one to two weeks depending on the person.
Is it common for men to have skin treatments in Korea?
Many men in Korea use aesthetic skin treatments for grooming and confidence, and it is not unusual to see men at clinics in Gangnam. At our Apgujeong clinic, men receive the same individual assessment and English consultation as any patient.
