Men’s Skin Matters Too: Tailored Treatments for Male Clients
Historically, skincare and cosmetic treatments have been marketed almost exclusively to women. But that’s changing — and fast. At Platinum Cosmetics, we’re seeing more and more male clients who are investing in their skin health, seeking subtle improvements, and learning how to care for their skin long term. Whether you’re dealing with shaving irritation, sun damage, ageing, or breakouts, our treatments are designed to work with your unique skin — not against it.
What Makes Men’s Skin Different?
Biologically, men’s skin is around 20–25% thicker than women’s and has higher levels of collagen. It also tends to produce more oil due to increased sebum activity driven by testosterone. While this can delay some visible signs of ageing, it also means men are more prone to clogged pores, breakouts, enlarged pores, and sebaceous hyperplasia.
On top of that, daily shaving, inconsistent skincare routines, and higher sun exposure (especially among tradies or outdoorsy types) can lead to rough texture, pigmentation, and inflammation. This makes professional support especially valuable — not just for improving how skin looks, but how it functions and feels.
Popular Treatments for Men at Platinum Cosmetics
We offer a range of services that address common male concerns, including:
Facials: Our customised facials are ideal for men wanting clearer, smoother skin without downtime. They can target blackheads, oiliness, congestion, or post-shave irritation. Some of our most popular options include hydrating enzyme facials and deep-cleansing facials with light extractions.
Laser treatments: Fotona laser can improve skin tone, texture, and redness. It’s particularly effective for broken capillaries around the nose, mild acne scarring, and signs of sun damage — concerns we frequently see in male clients.
Skin rejuvenation: If you’re concerned about ageing or texture, we can use a combination of laser, light-based therapy, and clinical products to stimulate collagen and soften fine lines.
Our approach is always subtle, natural-looking, and tailored. No “feminine” treatments unless that’s what you’re after — just results that keep your skin healthy and resilient.
Simple, No-Fuss Skincare for Men
We know most men don’t want a 12-step routine — and the good news is, you don’t need one. At your consultation, we’ll help you build a simple 2–3 product system using high-performance skincare that suits your skin type, lifestyle, and goals.
This might include:
A gel-based cleanser
A lightweight vitamin B serum to reduce redness and oil
A matte-finish SPF (yes, every day — even if it’s cloudy)
We prioritise easy-to-follow, effective routines that deliver noticeable improvements over time.
A Comfortable, Welcoming Environment
If you’ve never visited a clinic before, it’s normal to feel unsure. But our space is private, calm, and judgement-free. Whether you’re here for advice, a single treatment, or an ongoing plan, our goal is to make sure you feel comfortable — not self-conscious.
