Fine lines and wrinkles are a natural part of ageing and may become more noticeable over time. Men commonly experience lines around the forehead, eyes and between the brows due to repeated facial expressions, sun exposure and changes in skin elasticity.
At The Skin Lab, we offer consultations to discuss your concerns and provide information about the options that may be suitable for you. Recommendations are made on an individual basis by our qualified medical practitioners, taking into account your medical history and treatment preferences.
Pricing
Due to TGA advertising requirements, we are unable to publish pricing for some treatment options. Your practitioner will discuss suitable options and provide pricing during your consultation.
What to expect
Every appointment begins with a consultation. Your practitioner will discuss your concerns, medical history and expectations, then explain the options that may be suitable for you, including what is involved, possible side effects and aftercare requirements.
Some treatment options discussed during consultation may involve prescription-only medicines. Australian regulations do not permit these medicines to be advertised to the public. A consultation allows our practitioners to provide information tailored to your individual circumstances and answer any questions you may have.
Why do men experience lines and wrinkles differently?
Men’s skin has some unique characteristics that can influence how lines and wrinkles develop over time.
- Thicker skin: Men’s skin is generally around 20 to 25% thicker than women’s, with a higher collagen density. This often means visible ageing may appear later, but when wrinkles do develop, they can be deeper and more pronounced.
- Facial movement and muscle strength: Men typically have stronger facial muscles and more repetitive facial movement, particularly around the forehead and eyes. Over time, these repeated expressions contribute to the formation of dynamic lines.
- Sun exposure and daily habits: Regular outdoor work, sport, and inconsistent use of sun protection can increase cumulative UV exposure, which is one of the leading contributors to premature skin ageing and wrinkle formation.
Considering a consultation?
Men often wait until lines become more noticeable before seeking advice. An earlier assessment allows your doctor to evaluate your skin, identify contributing factors, and discuss the range of evidence-based management options that may be appropriate for your individual concerns.
