Let’s face it: shopping for guys is tough. They can be hard to figure out and sometimes don’t offer up much by way of clues. It’s easy to fall back on cliche dude gifts like neckties and power tools, but we say go for the grooming gold. 

Grooming gifts are perfect for any man whether he already has an extensive regimen or he splashes water on his face and calls it a day. To the initiated, grooming items are always welcome; for the novice, they’re a change to subtly upgrade his routine and let him in on a world he might not dive into on his own. That’s why we say 'go for it' and load him up with the best skincare, hair products, and fragrances you can find. 

The AEDITION rounded up the very best skincare, hair care, and self care finds to help make this the best groomed holiday for any man in your life.

__Gillette Heated Razor Starter Kit__ 
File this under: the gift he doesn’t know he wants. What makes barber shaves so good is the hot towels they use to soften facial hair and condition skin throughout the shaving process. This ingenious razor has a heated plate that mimics the experience in your own bathroom (without the added load of laundry). $200, [gillette.com](https://gillette.com/en-us/products/gillette-labs/heated-razor-by-gillette)

__Christophe Robin Detox Gift Set__ 
Lots of guys don’t understand how important scalp health is in relation to how their hair looks and how much of it they have. Without a healthy scalp, hair has a harder time growing in its optimal state, which may contribute to hair loss and thinning. This set is the perfect way to help someone start taking care of their scalp. It contains the popular Christophe Robin scalp scrub, which uses sea salt to gently exfoliate the scalp and get rid of both dead skin and product buildup, as well as a protective shampoo and a detangling leave-in. $59, [spacenk.com](https://www.spacenk.com/us/en_US/haircare/hair-set/hair-sets/detox-gift-set-MUK300054398.html)

__Theragun Liv__
Fair warning: this deep muscle massager that works to increase blood flow and boost the body's natural recovery process is highly addictive. Whether he’s got a twice-a-day gym habit or spends the better part of the day sitting in an office chair, the percussive device utilizes rapid, repetitive strokes to fire up muscles, mitigate the effects of daily wear and tear, and release tension all over the body. $249, [theragun.com](https://www.theragun.com/us/en-us/liv-us.html)

__Byredo Suede Hand Wash__
Nothing says 'you’ve arrived' like a fancy hand soap and this Byredo version is king. The bottle looks so good that he’ll actually want to keep it on the sink, and the scent is like an expensive cologne. It’s silky, woody, and a little spicy — like no other soap you’ve ever smelled — but doesn’t overpower your body or the room for hours after you wash your hands. It’s the ultimate grooming status symbol. $65, [nordstrom.com](https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/byredo-suede-hand-wash/4770851/lite)

__Jack Black Grab & Go Traveler Gift Set__
The best thing about this set is that it comes in a ready-to-go dopp kit packed with (almost) everything you need for a complete grooming routine — all in TSA-friendly sizes. What could be better than taking the guesswork out of packing, which is arguably the worst part of traveling? He can keep this packed and just pop it into his suitcase with barely a thought. $45, [bloomingdales.com](https://www.bloomingdales.com/shop/product/jack-black-grab-go-traveler-gift-set-63-value?ID=2760385)

__Bumble and bumble Summer Style: Make Waves Set__
Salt spray is a game changing hair styling product. It can give volume and texture without the weight of heavier products like clays or waxes, so it’s ideal for men with fine or thinning hair. This set is perfect for a guy who might need a little refresh to his style. The leave-in conditioner is great for giving texture without dryness, but the real star is the iconic Bumble and bumble salt spray. $25, [sephora.com](https://www.sephora.com/product/summer-style-make-waves-set-P443745)

![bevel](//images.ctfassets.net/zw35sfestf1t/DNYiBkoxAusmSL0GBSgdG/065f6cf20f1e9032e8fd445771961242/bevel.png)
__Bevel Shave System Starter Kit__
Razor bumps are one of the most common grooming concerns for men, and the Bevel shave system was developed specifically to help prevent them. This set is everything a man needs to overhaul his shaving routine; the centerpiece is Bevel’s single-blade safety razor, which gives a close shave without cutting the hairs too close. The razor itself would be reason enough to make this a standout, but, combined with the full range of products, this kit is a must-give. $89.95, [target.com](https://www.target.com/p/bevel-shave-system-starter-kit/-/A-50077295)

__T3 Cura Hair Dryer__
Lots of guys don’t understand the importance of blow drying their hair, but even a quick dry will help add volume to their mane and create shape without the weight of product (both of which are especially good news for men with thinning hair). This dryer is high-end but easy to use for a beginner and small enough that it won’t take up lots of room in the bathroom. $155, [nordstrom.com](https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/t3-cura-hair-dryer-nordstrom-exclusive-235-value/4921351/lite)

__Scotch Porter Ultimate Beard Collection__
Some guys think that growing a beard will cut down on their grooming time, but if someone in your life actually has a beard, they know that’s not the case. This complete beard care kit is a game changer, not only because the high-quality products contain naturally-derived ingredients, but because nothing is left out. It includes everything you need to clean, style, and protect a beard. It even has a brush *and* a comb, which lots of other kits don’t include. $110, [scotchporter.com](https://www.scotchporter.com/products/scotch-porter-ultimate-beard-collection)

__Vertly CBD Infused Bath Salt__
Even if a guy isn’t into baths, he’ll enjoy these CBD-infused bath salts, particularly if he’s an athlete. The anti-inflammatory properties of CBD help to soothe sore muscles and improve post-workout recovery. Couple that with the relaxation of a bath and he’s in for something really special — plus, an intro to a whole new routine. $29, [spacenk.com](https://www.spacenk.com/us/en_US/bath-body/body-cleanser/bath-salts-powders/cbd-infused-bath-salts-MUK300054627.html)

__Kiehl’s Nighttime Essentials Skincare Set__
Let’s face it: most men are lacking in the nighttime skincare department. This set is the perfect opportunity to help him up his game without any legwork. The centerpiece is the iconic Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate, which helps refresh and revive skin overnight, but is also paired with an eye cream, moisturizer, and firming mask that will all convert him quickly to skincare-obsessed status. $79, [kiehls.com](https://www.kiehls.com/gifts/gifts-for-all/nighttime-essentials-skincare-set/KHL273.html)

__Skyn Iceland Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels__
These depuffing eye patches are perfect for the party animal and workaholic alike. When you wake up with bags under your eyes from lack of sleep, dehydration, or just plain life, stick these on for 15 minutes and watch as the bags shrink immediately. A pack of 16 like this means he will have plenty on hand for all those mornings after. $58 for 16, [dermstore.com](https://www.dermstore.com/product_Hydro+Cool+Firming+Eye+Gels_81682.htm)

__Murdock London Wigsby Full Size Shave Set__ 
In the barbering world, British barbers are the rock stars. Murdock London products were developed by barbers so they'll immediately make him feel like he's in a fancy barber shop instead of his own bathroom. The stars of the whole line are the shaving products — like the cream, oil, and balm in this set — which turn even routine shaving into a luxurious experience. $65, [nordstrom.com](https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/murdock-london-wigsby-full-size-shave-set-nordstrom-exclusive-112-value/5439583/full?origin=category-personalizedsort&breadcrumb=Home%2FMen%2FGrooming%20%26%20Cologne%2FGifts%20%26%20Sets&color=none)

__Parachute Classic Bathrobe__
There is a reason this 450-GSM (that's 'grams per square meter' for the uninitiated) Turkish cotton robe launched with a 2,000-person waitlist. The unisex design is plush yet absorbent and cozy yet breathable with a shawl collar, two front pockets, and belted waist. $99, [parachutehome.com](https://www.parachutehome.com/products/classic-bathrobe?opt-color=mineral)

__Acqua Di Parma Colonia Eau de Cologne Gift Set__ 
Giving cologne to someone can be tricky, which is why this set is particularly great. The classic Aqua di Parma scent is masculine and elegant enough for the traditionalist, while also being fresh and light enough for the modernist. It’s one of the most distinctive colognes out there that is also one of the easiest to wear; it smells just as good with a suit as it does with a pair of jeans. $161, [bloomingdales.com](https://www.bloomingdales.com/shop/product/acqua-di-parma-colonia-eau-de-cologne-gift-set?ID=3527620)

__Diptyque 12 Years of Pine Gift Set__
This collection of tiny votives (all with a subtly different pine scent!) is perfect for a dude who isn’t a candle guy.

__Clarisonic Mia Men Facial Cleansing Skincare Device__
Men can reap the benefits of daily exfoliation, too, and this at-home cleansing device deeply cleans the complexion while prepping it for a smoother, closer shave.

Notes of bergamot, lavender, violet, and tonka bean, meanwhile, serve up a warmly refreshing scent. $60, [nordstrom.com](https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/le-labo-beard-oil/4753595/full)

The Holiday AEDIT: 20 Grooming & Wellness Gifts For Him

freestocks-org-jVSbAFJBVsg-unsplash (1)

From office gatherings and after-work happy hours to weekend parties and festivities, the holiday season can become a marathon of back-to-back-to-back-to-back engagements. Ensuring your skin and makeup look fresh and festive from morning ‘til night may seem like a tall order, but, with the right prepwork, you’ll be ready for a long winter’s day *and* night.  

Since such advice is best left to the experts, we tapped celebrity makeup artist [Daniel Martin](https://www.instagram.com/danielmartin/?hl=en) (the man behind Meghan Markle’s royal wedding radiance and the flawless faces of red carpet favorites like Jessica Alba, Nina Dobrev, Kaley Cuoco, and more) to get his tips for keeping your makeup merry and complexion bright — no matter what the most wonderful time of year has in store!

## __1. Hydration, Hydration, Hydration__ 
<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/B3W0fZbg_Yt/" class="embedly-card" data-card-width="50%" data-card-controls="0">Embedded content: https://www.instagram.com/p/B3W0fZbg_Yt/</a>
Ask any makeup artist and they’ll tell you: good makeup requires good skin. “Without a well moisturized canvas, foundation won’t lock down properly, especially for long periods of time,” says Martin, who is the celebrity makeup artist for Korean skincare juggernaut [Mediheal](https://medihealus.com/). 

“First, I like to hydrate with Mediheal’s [N.M.F. Intensive Hydrating Toner](https://www.walgreens.com/store/c/mediheal-n.m.f-intensive-hydrating-toner/ID=300395799-product). It has a thicker viscosity than traditional toners and it’s an incredible magnet for makeup,” he shares of the red carpet skincare prep that he used on Dobrev. “If I need more hydration, I’ll throw a water-based moisturizer on top of it. If the skin is super parched and dry, then a sheet mask is a must.” Our favorites? The [Mediheal D.N.A Hydrating Protein Mask](https://www.walgreens.com/store/c/mediheal-d.n.a-hydrating-protein-mask/ID=400394281-product) and [Tatcha Luminous Dewy Skin Mask](https://www.tatcha.com/product/DS-MASK.html).

## __2. Skip Primer… Seriously!__ 
<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/B1HGWXZgwqs/" class="embedly-card" data-card-width="50%" data-card-controls="0">Embedded content: https://www.instagram.com/p/B1HGWXZgwqs/</a>
Finding a high-powered primer might seem like the only way to keep makeup in place all day and night, but Martin has developed a layering technique that allows him to skip the step altogether on clients like Cuoco. “I tend to use water-based foundations, so my skincare underneath tends to be water based,” he shares. “I’ve learned that this layering of base products magnetizes the foundation, so I usually skip a primer.” If your skin is particularly dry, a primer may be necessary, but, in most cases, he says the [Mediheal N.M.F. Intensive Hydrating Toner](https://www.walgreens.com/store/c/mediheal-n.m.f-intensive-hydrating-toner/ID=300395799-product) does the trick.

## __3. Try a Monochromatic Makeup Moment for Day__
<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs71FdYB6Rf/" class="embedly-card" data-card-width="50%" data-card-controls="0">Embedded content: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs71FdYB6Rf/</a>
If you’re looking to give your daytime makeup routine a festive spin, Martin says you can never go wrong with a monochromatic glow a la Kat Graham. His go-to look includes “radiant skin, a pop of monochromatic color on the cheeks and eyelids, and big, beautiful brows and lashes with a few coats of mascara.” “It literally makes everyone look woken up and alive,” he says.

## __4. Rock a Metallic Eye for Night__ 
<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BsUJ-d3hU8i/" class="embedly-card" data-card-width="50%" data-card-controls="0">Embedded content: https://www.instagram.com/p/BsUJ-d3hU8i/</a>
Luminous skin is always a good idea, but Martin likes to up the ante with shimmering peepers and a muted pout. Case in point: Elisabeth Moss’ sultry look at the 2019 Golden Globes. “Dark metallic eyes and a soft neutral lip that is more on the matte side looks beautiful under low lights, where the metallic really pops,” he says. “Subtle highlighter on the tops of the cheek looks great too. It’s the perfect look for a holiday party.”

## __5. Make It Last__ 
<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BynJ7p3AoTU/" class="embedly-card" data-card-width="50%" data-card-controls="0">Embedded content: https://www.instagram.com/p/BynJ7p3AoTU/</a>
While primer all over the face may not be necessary, there are a few things Martin recommends for keeping the commpexion glowy (like Alba!) without looking shiny. “Eyeshadow primer is key for longevity, as well as setting powder in the t-zone,” he explains. “I don’t mind natural radiance that happens over time, but you do need to concentrate on the t-zone to cut the shine.”

Another life saver? Setting spray. “I can’t control what happens to the makeup after the client leaves, but there are so many incredible makeup setting sprays out there to prevent transfer,” Martin says. We’re partial to the [Urban Decay Born to Run All Nighter Setting Spray](https://www.urbandecay.com/born-to-run-all-nighter-spray-urban-decay/ud909.html?cgid=4_500#start=1&cgid=4_500), which comes in a handy travel-sized bottle, and [Make Up For Ever Mist & Fix Hydrating Setting Spray](https://www.sephora.com/product/mist-fix-hydrating-setting-spray-P446309).

5 Tips For Glowing Holiday Skin From Celebrity Makeup Artist Daniel Martin 

shutterstock 632292200 (1)

*From that French girl je ne sais quoi to the intricacies of the multi-step Korean skincare routine, the international cosmetic and aesthetic industries are as vast as they are unique. But, thanks to globalization, niche trends now have universal appeal. In this series, The AEDITION explores geographical markers of beauty and how they influence today's global patient and consumer.*

It’s safe to say that men care about how they look just as much as women. Forget the sitcom trope of a schlubby husband with the bombshell wife — men can be just as focused on their appearance as everyone else. In fact, studies show it’s the case around the globe. The difference is that how men want to look changes when you cross borders.

There is a reason the global men’s grooming industry grew to [$60.6 billion in 2018](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/global-male-grooming-products-market-set-to-reach-81-2-billion-by-2024---analysis-by-product-price-range-distribution-channel-and-region-300883497.html) and is set to balloon even more (it is estimated to rise to $81.2 billion by 2024); men are much bigger consumers of beauty and grooming than people give them credit for. That extends to cosmetic procedures as well. According to the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS), [men made up 14.4 percent of all global cosmetic surgical procedures in 2017](https://www.isaps.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ISAPS_2017_International_Study_Cosmetic_Procedures_NEW.pdf). And while they don’t break down gender divisions in individual countries, it’s clear that men are increasingly seeking out cosmetic procedures the world over.

But what these men are looking for varies by country. Much like women’s standards of beauty, what men aspire to look like has a lot to do with the culture they’re living in and is closely tied to their societal understanding of masculinity. In 2016, [UK-based Superdrug launched a “Perceptions of Perfection” study](https://onlinedoctor.superdrug.com/perceptions-of-perfection-part-ii-men/?utm_source=affiliatewindow&utm_medium=affiliate) that invited freelancers from around the world to alter a photo of a man to reflect the ‘ideal male’ of their culture. The results are, unsurprisingly, varied but do show that “men suffer equally with women around low body confidence as many strive to attain a standard of ‘attractiveness’ that is both often unattainable and driven by cultural perceptions and advertising ideals,” as the study notes. 

Understanding the [subtle differences in the male ideal](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aC7P-p0dPoI) around the world can shed a light on the global perception of masculinity and why more men are seeking out cosmetic procedures than ever before. Here, The AEDITION speaks with leading experts to find out what men are looking for in five regions around the globe.

## **1. Middle East**

In recent years, the Middle East has become a global plastic surgery hub, particularly Lebanon, Dubai, and Turkey. Some credit social media and western influence with this rise, but a decreasing cultural stigma around cosmetic work has also contributed to an increase in both procedures and medical tourism. Some estimate that as much as [30 percent of patients seeking cosmetic surgery are men](https://www.arabnews.com/node/1442116/saudi-arabia).

According to a [2017 study in the Saudi Medical Journal](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5556282/), the most common cosmetic procedures were [rhinoplasty](https://aedit.com/procedure/ethnic-rhinoplasty) and [laser hair removal](https://aedit.com/procedure/laser-hair-removal). While they do not note how many of these procedures were performed on men, it’s in line with what experts see. “In the Middle East, rhinoplasty is number one,” says Beverly Hills-based board certified plastic surgeon [Leif Rogers, MD](https://aedit.com/provider/leif-rogers-md-578). It’s becoming more common not only in the Middle East itself, but also among people of Middle Eastern descent in the U.S., he says.

“They don’t necessarily want a Western looking nose,” New York City board certified plastic surgeon [Douglas Steinbrech, MD](https://aedit.com/provider/douglas-steinbrech-md-62), is quick to note. Instead, the ideal is a defined nose that still is culturally appropriate. “They may want it to be reduced, but to keep it within the bell-shaped curve that is the norm of their culture,” he says.

The Middle East is also rapidly becoming known as a hub for [hair transplants](https://aedit.com/procedure/neograft), especially in Turkey. It’s estimated that Turkey alone has more than 300 hair transplant clinics and has seen men flock from all over the world to have hair treatments. In a culture that has traditionally valued full beards and heads of hair, it’s unsurprising that hair-focused procedures are popular in the region. Couple that with an interest in manscaping (as seen through the amount of laser hair removal procedures) and it’s clear that hair is a defining factor in male beauty in the Middle East.

## **2. South America**
When you think about South American aesthetics, it’s impossible to overlook Brazil, which leads the charge in both beauty ideals and plastic surgery. Procedures like the [Brazilian Butt Lift](https://aedit.com/procedure/brazilian-butt-lift) have cemented Brazil as the gold-standard in body definition — not just for women but for men too.

Men in Brazil idealize a toned, athletic body but not overly muscular. “They’re all about big-time definition,” says Nashville-based board certified plastic surgeon [Jacob Unger, MD](https://aedit.com/provider/jacob-unger-md-2649), of Maxwell Aesthetics. It’s telling that [four of the top five most popular plastic surgery procedures](https://www.isaps.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ISAPS_2017_International_Study_Cosmetic_Procedures_NEW.pdf) in Brazil are focused on the body, with [liposuction](https://aedit.com/procedure/laser-assisted-liposuction) and [abdominoplasty](https://aedit.com/procedure/abdominoplasty) top among them. Dr. Steinbrech also notes that he’s seen an increase in interest in other procedures among men in Brazil. “They do a lot of [gluteal augmentation](https://aedit.com/procedure/butt-augmentation-with-implants) and are very interested in implants,” he explains.  

While the ISAPS does not note how many men in Brazil underwent these surgeries versus women, given that Brazil is considered a plastic surgery capital around the world (thanks to inexpensive and accessible providers) it is not a stretch to assume that men are taking advantage to obtain their perfect beach body.

## **3. South Korea**
South Korea is a beauty-obsessed culture that has distinct ideas of beauty for both women and men. “Korea really sets the standards across Asia,” says Dr. Steinbrech. Look no further than the now-worldwide K-beauty trend to see that aesthetic trends often start there and soon have global implications. Men in South Korea are much more in tune with [skincare](https://aedit.com/aedition/best-skincare-grooming-ingredients-for-men) and makeup than men in other parts of the world and typically undergo cosmetic procedures like [jaw surgery](https://aedit.com/procedure/jawline-slimming-with-botox) and rhinoplasty to attain their desired look.

Dr. Steinbrech says K-Pop and the [Flower Boy](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-42499809) aesthetic are the driving influences in South Korean aesthetics for men. “It’s a more androgynous feel where men want to have more delicate faces like a narrow jawline and a more pointed chin,” he explains. Unlike other parts of the world where stronger male features are preferred, South Korean men want a more stylized look that’s focused on their face and is even sometimes at odds with a more muscular body, according to Dr. Steinbrech. Similar to women, larger eyes are considered beautiful in men, but [double eyelid surgery](https://aedit.com/procedure/asian-blepharoplasty) (during which a Western-inspired crease in the eyelid is created) is very common as well, he says. 

To obtain more ‘delicate’ features many men turn to elaborate skincare routines and makeup, but there is a reason South Korea is considered one of the plastic surgery capitals of the world. In Seoul alone, there are [hundreds of plastic surgery clinics](https://www.academia.edu/18248718/The_dubious_enhancement_Making_South_Korea_a_plastic_surgery_nation), and, unlike in the United States, the most common procedures focus on the face and are considered ‘minor’ procedures. Double eyelid surgery is one, but so is double jaw surgery (to sculpt the jaw and augment the chin to create the desired V-shape) and rhinoplasty (to create a smaller, more delicate nose). These procedures are just as common for men as they are for women.

## **4. United Kingdom**

In recent years, male aesthetic ideals in the United Kingdom have shifted, some say as a result of the popularity of reality shows like *Love Island*, which features very fit women and men in various states of undress. *Love Island*, specifically for it’s constantly rotating cast of ripped, shirtless men, [has been said to be linked to an increase in anabolic steroid use and male body image disorders](https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/love-island-2019-is-the-reality-show-affecting-male-body-image_uk_5cf61f85e4b0a1997b702181?guccounter=1).

Whether that is true or not, it’s clear that men in the United Kingdom are much more focused on their bodies and desire a toned, muscular physique. The ideal man is muscular, athletic, and heavily tattooed (the UK has emerged as one of the most tattooed nations), and while plastic surgery is less common for men than in other parts of the world, Dr. Steinbrech has seen this start to change. “The Brits are more conservative in general, but [UK patients] are starting to get more into body procedures,” he shares. “They’re starting to ask for them and it’s becoming a trend.”

According to the [British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons](https://baaps.org.uk/about/news/1708/cosmetic_surgery_stats_number_of_surgeries_remains_stable_amid_calls_for_greater_regulation_of_quick_fix_solutions), men in the UK are opting for non-invasive procedures like [Botox®](https://aedit.com/procedure/periorbital-botox) more frequently than surgical procedures. But while that may be the case when it comes to facial procedures, liposuction rose among men by 9 percent in 2018, further cementing the United Kingdom as an increasingly body-obsessed culture. 

## **5. USA**

“American [men] want to be tan and jacked like a Marine or a superhero,” says Dr. Steinbrech. “Basically, they want to look more like Thor.” But nailing down the aesthetic ideals of American men isn’t so easy. A lot of it has to do with where they live, at least according to Dr. Steinbrech. “There is a tendency with people (including men) in Los Angeles to want to look younger,” he says. “In California, people are rewarded for being fit, going to the gym, and appearing more youthful. They’re more likely to want to look very young and fit even into their sixties.” In other areas, like New York, he says men tend to be more focused on how their looks can make them more effective at their jobs. “In New York, they want a [big jawline](https://aedit.com/aedition/8-ways-to-get-a-more-defined-jawline)” because men equate that with confidence, leadership, and magnetism, he explains. 

Despite the subtle differences in geography, a peek at the top cosmetic procedures among men does shed some light. Liposuction and [gynecomastia](https://aedit.com/procedure/male-breast-reduction) surgery (a.k.a. male breast reduction) are common and men look to these procedures to obtain a more toned, fit shape. Rhinoplasty and [blepharoplasty](https://aedit.com/procedure/blepharoplasty-eyelid-surgery) (i.e. eyelid surgery) are also common, showing that men do seek to improve their facial features, though Dr. Steinbrech adds that the goals of these procedures among men is to make small, subtle tweaks that are not always noticeable. Still the most common cosmetic procedure of all is non-invasive Botox® (or other neuromodulators) and dermal fillers, which help men look youthful without surgery.

Whether it’s through non-invasive procedures or cosmetic surgery, the most common thing providers hear from their male patients is that they don’t want to look too 'done.' Men in the United States still often associate a certain ruggedness with a male ideal — a muscular body, a strong jaw, and a few (but not too many) lines on their faces. Perfection, in many ways, is considered feminine, but strength is masculine.

The Holiday AEDIT: 30 Beauty & Wellness Gifts For Her

Used as off-label treatment of male and female pattern hair loss. Studies have shown it more effective than finasteride.

Thinning Hair

Receding Hairline

Bald Spots

The primary indication for dutasteride is to treat urinary retention issues and enlarged prostates. However, the drug works by inhibiting both type I and type II 5a- reductase—which are most known for conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT shrinks hair follicles and its presence is a known cause of balding. Other medications for hair restoration include tofacitinib, which is primarily used as a treatment for arthritis. 

All dutasteride doses tested (0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 2.5 mg) and finasteride 5 mg were significantly better than placebo, but only dutasteride at a 2.5 mg daily dose showed statistically greater hair counts compared to finasteride. Typically, 1 dose is taken per day orally. Results can take anywhere between 3-6 months to show.

Dutasteride

Gain back your hair through hair restoration treatments and restore a full head of hair.

Hair Restoration

For many men and women beginning to lose their hair, or have lost it completely, going bald can often be traumatic. If you’re suffering from hair loss, you know firsthand how embarrassing and stressful it can be. Fortunately, there are treatments that can work to effectively stimulate new hair growth in balding areas and eventually restore a full head of hair. These treatments come in a variety of applications with many different benefits tailored to work properly with your specific hair loss.

No special measures need to be taken before treatment.

Before Treatment

dut2

Dutasteride 2.5 mg tablets are typically taken once daily to treat hair loss. Take medication as prescribed.

During Treatment

No special measures need to be taken after treatment with Dutasteride. Normal activities can be resumed immediately. 

Immediately After Treatment

- Results seen after 3 months of consistent use
- Treatment is continued indefinitely to maintain results

Result Notes

Dutasteride can be used off-label for the treatment of male and female pattern hair loss. Here is a quick guide for what to expect before, during, and after hair loss treatment with Dutasteride.
