When it comes to physical appearance, both men and women face pressure from society to conform to certain standards. However, the pressure on men to adhere to a certain “male aesthetic” is often overlooked. There are several myths surrounding the male aesthetic that contribute to this pressure, and it’s time to debunk them.
Myth #1: Muscles are everything.
One of the most pervasive myths surrounding the male aesthetic is that muscles are everything. Society often equates strength and muscularity with masculinity, and men are often pressured to have chiseled abs and bulging biceps. While there is no one “ideal” body type for men, we do know building muscle has numerous health benefits and can lead to a more toned body.
For those looking to build muscle for overall wellness or aesthetic reasons, Emsculpt Neo treatments may be a great option. This non-invasive treatment uses high-intensity electromagnetic energy to stimulate muscle contractions, leading to increased muscle mass and tone in just four 30 minute treatments.
Myth #2: Men don’t care about their appearance.
Another myth surrounding the male aesthetic is that men don’t care about their appearance. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Men care about their appearance just as much as women do, and they deserve to be taken seriously when it comes to their grooming and self-care routines. Medical-grade skincare, laser skincare treatments, neuro modulators like Botox and Dysport, and dermal fillers are great options for men looking to take their self-care routine to the next level.
These treatments can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as improve skin texture and tone. Regular skincare, laser and/or injectable treatments can turn back the signs of aging and provide a natural look that will build confidence in any man. Most commonly, at The Piazza Center we see men in the competitive work force seeking treatments like Botox to the lines in their frown and forehead as well as filler to their under eyes to give a refreshed, youthful, and well rested appearance.
Myth #3: Men should age naturally.
While it’s important for men to embrace their age and wisdom, it’s also okay for them to want to look their best. Both plastic surgery and non-surgical treatments are a great option for men who want to achieve their aesthetic goals. Whether it’s a tummy tuck, liposuction, fat transfer or eyelid surgery or Botox, dermal fillers, and Emsculpt, these procedures can help men look and feel their best.
Women are not the only ones who want to look their best. More and more men are learning that there are many options available for men who want to look and feel their best. From Emsculpt Neo treatments to injectables and laser treatments,to plastic surgery, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to male self-care. It’s time to let go of these outdated ideas and embrace a more inclusive and accepting definition of what it means to be a man.
