Most Popular Men’s Aesthetic Treatments in 2026

Men are finally saying out loud what they’ve known for years: it feels good to look good.

Not in a flashy, “trying too hard” kind of way. Not to look 15 years younger. Not to reinvent themselves. Most men simply want to look like the best version of themselves—sharp, rested, confident, and pulled-together. Like they’ve got things handled.

When it comes to aesthetics, men approach things differently than women. Women tend to think proactively and prevention-focused. Men are typically more pragmatic and problem-solving:

“This is bothering me. What can fix it?”

Austin men in particular lead busy, visible lives—running companies, managing teams, staying active, and spending plenty of time outdoors in the Texas sun. They don’t want fluff, endless skincare routines, or anything that feels unnecessary or overdone. They want straightforward, effective aesthetic treatments that fit their lifestyle, maintain a natural masculine look, and help them feel like they’re operating at their best.

That’s why men’s aesthetic treatments are booming in 2026. And it’s why Flycatcher exists—to create a space designed specifically for men, offering treatments that make sense for how men think, how men age, and how men want to look.

Here are the most popular men’s aesthetic treatments today, why guys in Austin are choosing them, and who they’re best for.

Microneedling: A Smarter Way to Improve Skin Tone, Texture, and Fine Lines

Men don’t usually walk in asking for “collagen induction therapy.” They come in saying:

“My skin looks rough.”
“I look tired.”
“My pores look huge.”
“These lines are creeping in.”

Microneedling is one of the most popular male aesthetic treatments today because it tackles all of those concerns in a straightforward, results-focused way.

What it is

Microneedling uses a precision device—at Flycatcher, we use the SkinPen, the first FDA-cleared microneedling device—to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This stimulates your body’s natural healing response and boosts collagen production.

In simple terms: it helps your skin repair and renew itself.

Why Austin men love it

Because Austin men live outside.

Golf. Lake days. Running Town Lake. Mountain biking. Poolside weekends. Years of sun exposure eventually show up as rough texture, dullness, and signs of early aging. Microneedling helps:

  • soften fine lines

  • improve skin texture

  • reduce the appearance of acne scarring

  • shrink the look of large pores

  • create smoother, healthier-looking skin

And it does all this without dramatically changing how your face looks. You still look like you—just sharper, smoother, and less worn out.

Who it’s ideal for

Men who want:

  • healthier-looking skin without anything “dramatic”

  • improvement in scarring, roughness, or texture

  • an upgrade in skin quality as they move into their 30s, 40s, and beyond

Correcting Sun Damage & Pigmentation with IPL

If there’s one thing most Austin men have in common, it’s sun damage.

Years in Texas catch up eventually. Redness. Brown spots. Pigmentation. Broken capillaries. That uneven blotchy look that adds years to the face—without men always realizing why they suddenly “look older.”

What it is

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a light-based treatment designed to target:

  • redness and broken capillaries

  • brown pigmentation and dark spots

  • sun damage

  • overall uneven skin tone

At Flycatcher, IPL is one of our most in-demand treatments among men because it corrects the consequences of outdoor living without changing facial structure or expression.

Why Austin men love it

Because it:

  • evens out tone

  • brightens the skin

  • reduces the “weathered” look

  • helps men look healthier, not different

It’s not about perfection. It’s about reversing years of sun exposure and looking clearer, cleaner, and more refreshed.

Who it’s great for

Men who:

  • have redness or visible blood vessels

  • have sun spots or brown patches

  • want a healthier, clearer complexion

  • don’t want to look “done” or obvious

Non-Surgical Hair Restoration: For Men Who Want More Than Supplements, But Don’t Want Surgery

Hair matters.

Not because of vanity—but because it’s one of the most visible contributors to how youthful, confident, and energetic a man looks. The challenge? Most guys fall into two buckets:

They don’t want to jump straight into surgery…
…but they also want something stronger than vitamins or online subscription companies.

That’s exactly where modern non-surgical hair restoration comes in.

What it is

Flycatcher partners with GetHairMD—a leader in comprehensive, non-surgical hair restoration solutions for men. What makes it different is that it’s not one single product. It’s a strategic combination of medical-grade therapies designed to support scalp health and hair density in a meaningful, clinically guided way.

Why men love it

Because men want options that are:

  • non-surgical

  • non-painful

  • no-needle

  • no downtime

  • medically guided

  • more substantial than “off the shelf solutions”

This is for the guy who says:
“I’m not ready for a hair transplant—but I don’t want to do nothing.”

It’s proactive. It’s discreet. And it’s designed for men who want to maintain their presence and confidence without jumping to invasive procedures.

Who it’s right for

Men who:

  • are noticing thinning or changes in density

  • want to slow progression and support stronger hair

  • want something stronger than supplements but not surgical

Laser Hair Removal for Men: Grooming, Confidence, and Performance

laser hair removal treatment for facial hair

This isn’t 1998, and laser hair removal isn’t just a “women’s treatment” anymore.

Men in Austin are increasingly choosing laser hair removal because it’s practical, clean, athletic-friendly, and improves confidence without looking like you’ve spent hours grooming.

What it is

Laser hair removal uses concentrated energy to reduce hair growth in targeted areas over time. Treatments are quick, progressive, and benefit from consistency—making it a great long-term grooming strategy.

Why Austin men love it

Two big reasons:

Grooming & Confidence

The most popular treatment areas for men include:

Yes… we said nose and ear hair. Because most men don’t think about it—until they notice it in a photo or the mirror. Removing it creates a subtle but powerful “cleaned up” look.

Athletic Performance & Comfort

Laser hair removal is incredibly popular among:

  • swimmers

  • cyclists

  • runners

  • CrossFit and strength athletes

Less friction. Fewer ingrown hairs. Cleaner sweat management. It’s smart, not vain.

Who it’s ideal for

Men who:

  • want long-term grooming solutions that save time

  • are tired of shaving irritation

  • want a cleaner, more polished look

  • train regularly and appreciate functionality

Wrinkle Relaxers (Like Botox): Softening Stress, Not Freezing Expression

Most men don’t say, “I want Botox.”

They say:
“I look angry all the time.”
“My forehead makes me look stressed.”
“I feel great—but my face doesn’t match how I feel.”

Wrinkle relaxers (Botox is a well-known brand) are one of the most popular male aesthetic treatments today not because men want to look dramatically younger—but because they want to stop looking tense, worn down, or perpetually frustrated.

What they do

Wrinkle relaxers soften the muscles responsible for:

  • forehead lines

  • glabella (the “11s” between the brows)

  • crow’s feet around the eyes

Why Austin men love it

Because when done correctly on men, results are:

  • masculine

  • natural

  • controlled

  • expressive without harshness

You don’t look frozen. You don’t look “done.” You simply look like you slept, took a vacation, and stopped carrying the world on your forehead.

Who it’s great for

Men who:

  • feel they look more tired or stressed than they actually are

  • have deep forehead movement lines

  • want a refreshed, confident appearance

Non-Surgical Skin Tightening for Jawline, Jowls, and Neck

InMode Define treatment for jawline

If there’s one thing men are paying attention to in their 40s, 50s, and beyond—it’s the jawline.

The jawline defines masculinity. When laxity develops along the jaw, lower face, or under-chin area, men don’t usually want a facelift. But they do want tightening, definition, and structure back.

What it is

At Flycatcher, we use technologies like Morpheus8 and the InMode Define platform. These treatments use advanced radiofrequency and remodeling technology to stimulate remodeling beneath the skin, helping improve laxity, firmness, and contour.

Why men love it

Because it offers:

  • a tighter, more defined jawline

  • improvement in “jowls”

  • a more structured, confident profile

  • subtle but meaningful refining

  • no surgery

This is the modern answer for the man who looks in the mirror and thinks:
“My face is starting to soften—and I don’t love that.”

Who it’s ideal for

Men who:

  • want tightening without surgery

  • want their jawline to look sharper

  • want a discreet, progressive improvement

  • care about maintaining a strong, masculine appearance
