Aesthetics for Men
The desire to look well-rested, defined, and confident is not gender-specific. At Pelle Aesthetics in Hertford, a significant proportion of our patients are men — coming to address excessive sweating, to sharpen jawline definition, to soften lines that make them look more tired than they feel, or simply to invest in their skin. Every appointment is clinical, efficient, and discreet.
All treatments performed by Dr Sabrina Valentino — GMC-registered GP with advanced facial anatomy training.
"Male aesthetics demands a different clinical approach. Masculine structure is not a smaller version of female anatomy."
Why Men Come to Pelle
Male patients present with specific, often practical concerns. Here are the most common reasons men book a consultation at Pelle.
Excessive Sweating
Consistently the most common presenting concern for male patients. Axillary and palmar hyperhidrosis affects professional confidence significantly — and is highly treatable with a single 30-minute appointment.
Loss of Jawline Definition
Jowling, volume loss, and lower face descent affects men and women equally. A defined jawline is consistently one of the most valued aesthetic improvements among our male patients.
Tired or Stern Appearance
Deep frown lines, forehead creases, and crow's feet can make men appear stern or fatigued. Low-dose anti-wrinkle treatment softens these whilst preserving completely natural expression.
Acne Scarring
A persistent concern for many adult men. SkinPen microneedling and Cutera Secret PRO both produce meaningful improvement in scar texture — with results that build progressively across a course.
Skin Quality
Men's skin is thicker and more sebaceous than women's — but it ages too. Loss of collagen, hydration, and firmness is equally pronounced. Profhilo and skin boosters address these concerns effectively.
Bruxism & Jaw Tension
Teeth grinding can over-develop the masseter muscles, squaring the lower face and causing significant jaw pain. Botulinum toxin injections slim the jawline and provide genuine therapeutic relief.
Most Requested by Male Patients
Every treatment plan is bespoke. Dr Sabrina will recommend the most appropriate option at your consultation — with masculine anatomy and natural results always in mind.
Hyperhidrosis Treatment
Doctor-prescribed botulinum toxin injections that block the nerve signal activating the sweat glands — producing an 80–90% reduction in sweating within 2–4 weeks, lasting 6–12 months. A single appointment with no downtime.
As a prescription-only medicine, this must be administered following a face-to-face consultation with a qualified prescriber. At Pelle, Dr Sabrina is both the prescriber and the treating clinician.
Underarms, hands, feet
Jawline Contouring
Radiesse, Juvederm, and Profhilo Structura used to define, lift, and sculpt the lower face — with masculine facial proportions explicitly in mind. The goal is definition and structure, not softening.
Combined with masseter botulinum toxin where bruxism is a factor, addressing both the functional and aesthetic dimensions of the lower face in a single plan.
Jaw, chin, masseter
Low-Dose Injections
Small, precisely placed doses of botulinum toxin in the forehead, frown lines, and crow's feet. At male doses, natural masculine expression is fully maintained — the objective is softening deep dynamic lines without any 'frozen' look.
Forehead, frown, crow's feet
Profhilo & Skin Boosters
For male patients who want to invest in their skin's quality and longevity without any visible intervention. Profhilo stimulates collagen and elastin production from within — improving firmness, hydration, and texture without altering the face's appearance.
Firmness, hydration, quality

Treating male patients well requires more than applying female protocols to a different face. Male facial anatomy — the bony structure, the musculature, the fat distribution, the skin thickness — is genuinely different, and treatment approaches need to reflect that.
Dr Sabrina has a specific clinical interest in male aesthetics. The outcomes she aims for — definition, vitality, natural vigour — are different from what most female patients want, and the product choices and injection techniques reflect that distinction throughout.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the result look natural?
Natural results are the only standard at Pelle. For male patients this means looking rested, defined, and like yourself — not altered, softened, or obviously treated.
Is it embarrassing to come in for the first time?
In our experience, that feeling dissolves immediately on arrival. Appointments are clinical and professional. You will not be judged or sold to. Most first-time male patients book again within a few months.
What's the most popular treatment for men?
Hyperhidrosis treatment and anti-wrinkle injections are consistently the most requested. Jawline contouring is growing rapidly, particularly among patients in their late 20s and 30s.
Can I come in on my lunch break?
For most treatments — anti-wrinkle, filler, hyperhidrosis — yes. Treatment takes 20–45 minutes with no downtime. We recommend an extra 15 minutes for a first appointment.
Is this available at the Essendon clinic?
Yes. The full injectable menu is available at both Hertford and Essendon. Cutera Secret PRO treatments are at our Hertford clinic only.

Costs vary by treatment. Dr Sabrina provides a personalised quote at your consultation. There is no obligation to proceed on the day.
