There are various fundamental differences between the bodies and skin of men and women. Therefore it should come as no surprise that some treatments that may be effective for one gender, may not be appropriate for the other. Specialising in cosmetic surgery and aesthetic medicine for men, The Gentlemen’s Clinic in Zurich takes these differences into account. The medical specialists at The Gentlemen’s Clinic have developed and adapted treatments and techniques to ensure they achieve only the best results for their male patients. The clinic’s specialists have years of experience and expertise in their fields, built on solid foundations of academic excellence. While the clinic does offer a wide range of minimally invasive procedures and treatments, this guide outlines the most popular treatments for men at The Gentlemen’s Clinic.

Hair Transplantation

Balding can happen to men at any stage in life whether through aging or a medical condition but, while some choose to embrace it, it’s no longer something men have to live with, should they choose not to. At The Gentlemen’s Clinic, treatments include the state-of-the-art hair transplantation technique: FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction).

What is Follicular Unit Extraction?

FUE is an effective and reliable procedure, which brings the patient life-long and completely natural looking results. Through microsurgery, the procedure involves the extraction and transplantation of thousands of hair follicles. While the older FUT method left a long thin scar at the back of the head, the FUE method only leaves tiny white dots where graft extraction has taken place.

Permanent Hair Removal with Laser

Many men with excessive body hair believe it to be unattractive, and find trying to manage it
a time-consuming chore. What’s more, many are self-conscious about it. Whether the hair is
on the chest, stomach, back or armpits, the Super Hair Removal (SHR) treatment offers a
permanent solution.

How It Works

SHR works by using a combination of laser technology and pulses of light at a high frequency. Both light hair and dark hair can be removed, and the integrated cooler provides greater skin protection and increased comfort during the procedure. The treatment may need
to be repeated 6-8 times over a period of months to ensure the results are permanent.

Wrinkle Treatment & Prevention

Men and women will develop wrinkles, lines, and creases in their skin as they age, but it’s now easier than ever to prevent this process, appearing more youthful and energised for longer. However, men’s skin is around 20% thicker, has better circulation, produces higher levels of oil, and contains more melanin. The Gentlemen’s Clinic has developed a treatment for men’s skin by injecting face with the neurotoxic protein (Botox) to reduce frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead wrinkles. The full effects of the treatment take around 4 weeks to develop and will last for 4-6 months.

Gynecomastia (male breast reduction)

Gynecomastia is the enlargement of breast tissue in men and can occur in both slim, lean, heavy set and larger men alike. While obesity can be a contributing factor, rather than being caused by an unhealthy lifestyle, it is more often linked to a hormonal imbalance. The
procedure to reduce male breasts is performed under local anaesthetic as an outpatient procedure as the patient can go home once it is complete. It is a painless procedure with no visible scarring, and the patient can return usually return to work the next day.

Liposuction

The liposuction procedure is intended to remove subcutaneous fat (which lies between the skin and muscle) by suction. It does not remove fat which is deep in the body, such as the visceral fat which can surround organs. Liposuction is not a weight loss method. However, it
can remove stubborn fat deposits which you are struggling to lose through diet and exercise, and it can help to shape the body.

How The Process Works

The procedure involves inserting tiny needles (with incisions of 1-2mm) to remove fat cells without damaging the surrounding tissue. is performed under local anaesthetic and sedation, and the patient experiences no pain.
