Male faces need different dosing, different angles and a different definition of ‘done well’.
Can men get aesthetic treatments on Koh Samui? Yes — men are treated routinely at doctor-led clinics for Botox, jawline definition, skin quality, laser hair removal and hair loss; male treatment differs because men typically have stronger facial muscles, thicker skin and different aesthetic goals.
Men are treated routinely
A growing part of practice
Male aesthetic treatment is now common, and doctor-led clinics treat men regularly across injectables, skin and laser services.
Different goals
Most men want to look less tired and better defined rather than noticeably changed — which shapes both technique and dosing.
Why male treatment differs
Stronger muscles, more units
Men typically have stronger facial muscles, so Botox doses are often higher than for women to achieve the same softening.
Different anatomy
Thicker skin, a flatter brow position and a wider jaw shape mean placement differs — over-lifting a male brow looks distinctly wrong.
Most requested treatments for men
Common areas of interest:
- Botox for forehead, frown and crow’s feet
- Jawline and chin definition with filler
- Under-eye hollows and a less tired appearance
- Laser hair removal for back, chest and neckline
- Skin quality, texture and acne scarring
- Hair loss treatment
Injectables for men at a glance
| Treatment | Male considerations |
|---|---|
| Botox | Higher doses; avoid over-lifting the brow |
| Jawline filler | Firmer, structural product for definition |
| Chin filler | Projection to strengthen the profile |
| Under-eye | Conservative, to look rested not filled |
A guide only; dosing is individual and confirmed at consultation.
Laser hair removal for men
Coarse hair responds well
Back, shoulders, chest and neckline are commonly treated, and coarse dark hair is a good laser target — see laser hair removal for men.
Ingrown hairs and shaving
Reducing hair density often improves razor bumps on the neck — see laser for ingrown hairs.
Hair loss
Assessment first
Pattern hair loss responds better to early treatment, so assessment when thinning starts is more useful than waiting.
Options
Medical and in-clinic options exist — see our guide to PRP for hair loss.
Skin and sun damage
Often more sun exposure
Men frequently have more cumulative sun exposure and less consistent sun protection, so photoaging and pigmentation are common concerns.
Simple routines work
A minimal routine of cleanser, sunscreen and a retinoid where suitable does most of the work — elaborate regimens are not required.
How men should approach treatment
A practical sequence:
- Have a consultation and describe the look you want, not just a treatment.
- Expect higher Botox dosing than female protocols.
- Start conservatively and review at two weeks.
- Prioritise definition and a rested look over softening.
- Establish daily sun protection as a baseline.
- Address hair loss early rather than waiting.

Frequently asked questions
Can men get aesthetic treatments on Koh Samui?
Yes. Men are treated routinely at doctor-led clinics for Botox, jawline definition, skin quality, laser hair removal and hair loss, with technique adapted to male anatomy.
Do men need more Botox than women?
Often yes. Men typically have stronger facial muscles, so doses are commonly higher to achieve the same softening. Placement also differs to avoid over-lifting the brow.
What do men most commonly have done?
Botox for forehead and frown lines, jawline and chin filler for definition, treatment for a tired appearance, laser hair removal on the back and chest, and hair loss treatment.
Will Botox make me look unnatural?
Not when dosed appropriately for male anatomy. The goal for most men is looking less tired rather than noticeably changed, which conservative, well-placed dosing achieves.
Is laser hair removal popular with men?
Yes, particularly for the back, shoulders, chest and neckline. Coarse dark hair responds well, and reducing density often improves razor bumps on the neck.
When should I address hair loss?
Early. Pattern hair loss responds better when follicles are miniaturised but still present, so assessment when thinning starts is more useful than waiting.
Safety and consultation
Aesthetic treatment for men is a medical procedure and, like any injectable or needling treatment, carries some risk — common temporary effects can include redness, swelling, bruising or tenderness, and less common reactions are possible. Results vary from person to person, and no specific outcome can be promised. This article is general information, not medical advice.
At LIV Clinic, every treatment begins with an in-person assessment by Dr. Narathai Vichienkalayarut, M.D., who reviews your skin, medical history and goals before recommending a personalized plan. Book a consultation to find out whether this treatment suits you.
