Male Aesthetic Market Continues Rapid Expansion
Male participation in aesthetic medicine is rising steadily in the U.S. and Canada. Recent reviews and market reports show that male patients now account for a growing share of injectable and non-surgical procedures, with hyaluronic acid filler demand and neuromodulator use both increasing over the past five years.
This trend is projected to continue as aesthetic medicine grows toward a $265 billion global market by 2035
Action Steps for Certified Aesthetic Providers:
- Review practice data for male patient trends and identify growth opportunities.
- Ensure intake, consultation, and marketing materials address male priorities—efficiency, discretion, and clear clinical outcomes.
- Provide tailored education and private scheduling options for male patients, particularly those new to aesthetics.
Ozempic Face: Protocols Evolve for GLP-1-Related Facial Changes
With widespread use of GLP‑1 receptor agonists (Ozempic®, Wegovy®, Saxenda®), rapid and pronounced facial volume loss—commonly known as “Ozempic Face”—is now a recognized aesthetic concern. Several July 2025 publications offer clinical characterization and protocol guidance.
Action Steps for Certified Aesthetic Providers:
- Screen all aesthetic consults for recent GLP‑1 medication use and weight-loss history.
- Review Galderma’s nine-month treatment protocols involving HA fillers and collagen stimulators for planning staged restoration.
- Counsel patients clearly on expectations: volume loss may evolve post-weight loss, and interventions may require a phased, multimodality approach.
- Consider referring patients with significant skin laxity to surgical colleagues when non-surgical methods may be insufficient.
Regenerative Medicine: Standardization and Integration in Aesthetic Practice
Action Steps for Certified Aesthetic Providers:
- If offering regenerative medicine, ensure your protocols incorporate current evidence on growth factors, including PDGF+.
- Track patient outcomes and educate about the expected course of results.
- Consider integrating exosome and growth factor therapies for select cases of collagen loss or skin rejuvenation.
Digital Patient Engagement: Aligning with Modern Patient Expectations
Patient expectations for aesthetic care are changing rapidly. According to new surveys and industry reports, patients now expect online booking, real-time communication, and seamless digital touchpoints from their medspa or clinic experience.
Clinics that implement modern digital engagement—from web-based scheduling to automated follow-up and targeted online marketing—report both increased patient acquisition and stronger retention
Action Steps for Certified Aesthetic Providers:
- Implement online booking with automated confirmations to streamline new patient intake and reduce administrative workload.
- Use targeted digital marketing (personalized website content, social media, live chat) to reach and convert new leads.
- Invest in patient engagement platforms that support two-way communication, automated reminders, and timely follow-up to improve retention and satisfaction.
Compliance & Regulatory Watch: Safety, FDA Activity, and Market Risks
Regulatory oversight of aesthetic medicine continues to intensify. In July, the FDA accepted a supplemental application for Skinvive by Juvéderm for neck lines, and high-profile news coverage reinforced the dangers of purchasing and self-injecting unapproved products like Innotox.
Providers are reminded to stay current with product approvals and to educate patients about the serious risks of sourcing injectables online
Action Steps for Certified Aesthetic Providers:
- Implement online booking with automated confirmations to streamline new patient intake and reduce administrative workload.
- Use targeted digital marketing (personalized website content, social media, live chat) to reach and convert new leads.
- Invest in patient engagement platforms that support two-way communication, automated reminders, and timely follow-up to improve retention and satisfaction.
