The demand for cosmetic treatments with lasers and energy-based devices has increased among men, but there is a dearth of literature that addresses the approach and treatment of cosmetic male patients.
To summarize common cosmetic concerns for which male patients seek cosmetic treatments and to provide sex-specific recommendations for the lasers and energy-based devices that can be used for treatment.
The authors conducted a literature search using the PubMed/MEDLINE and Google Scholar databases using the search terms male, men, gender, and cosmetic dermatology.
The authors review sex-specific treatment recommendations regarding the use of lasers and energy-based devices for the conditions for which men most commonly seek cosmetic treatment, which include photo-/actinic damage, acne scarring, rhinophyma, hair removal, axillary hyperhidrosis, and loose neck/submental skin. Cosmetic issues the authors will touch on, but whose approaches or considerations vary less in men compared with women, are hyperpigmentation, vascular lesions, and facial rejuvenation.
Sex-specific treatment approaches with lasers and energy-based devices should be used to best serve male cosmetic patients.

总结男性患者寻求美容治疗的常见美容问题，并为可用于治疗的激光和基于能量的设备提供针对性别的建议。
作者使用PubMed/MEDLINE和谷歌学术数据库，以男性、男士、性别和美容皮肤科为检索词进行文献检索。
作者回顾了关于使用激光和基于能量的设备治疗男性最常寻求美容治疗的病症的针对性别治疗建议，这些病症包括光/光化性损伤、痤疮瘢痕、酒渣鼻、脱毛、腋窝多汗症和颈部/颏下皮肤松弛。作者将涉及的美容问题，但其在男性中的治疗方法或考虑因素与女性相比差异较小的有色素沉着、血管病变和面部年轻化。
