Men’s wellness is undergoing a major shift. While workouts and protein shakes are still part of the mix, there’s a growing focus on skincare—and South African men are leading the charge. Skin Renewal, a leading aesthetic and anti-ageing clinic group, has seen a surge in male patients treating everything from ingrown hairs and acne to hair thinning, wrinkles and uneven skin tone.
Why Men’s Skin Needs Different Care
Men’s skin is about 25% thicker than women’s and tends to be oilier, less sensitive and more prone to deep wrinkles. Thanks to testosterone, it also has larger pores and a higher collagen density. This makes it tougher in some ways—but also harder to treat with off-the-shelf solutions. That’s where personalised, science-backed care comes in.
The Skin Renewal Difference
Skin Renewal isn’t a day spa. It’s a medically supervised clinic grounded in functional medicine. With over 20 locations across three provinces, they treat more than 10,000 patients every month. Their approach looks at skin issues from the inside out, targeting root causes like diet, stress and hormonal imbalances through nutrition advice, health coaching and lifestyle optimisation.
The Treatments Men Are Asking For
Quick-fix injectables like dermal fillers and botulinum toxin (Botox) are popular for smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles. But for longer-lasting results, Skin Renewal offers a combination of advanced treatments like:
- Laser therapy
- Carboxytherapy
- Radiofrequency needling
- Skin tightening
They also use powerful tools like the Vydence Pico Laser and Endymed RF, which target ageing at the cellular level—reducing oxidative stress and tackling senescent cells that contribute to visible ageing.
A New Era of Male Aesthetics
With their doctor-led team and cutting-edge tech, Skin Renewal is redefining how men approach skincare. It’s not just about looking good—it’s about feeling confident, staying healthy and taking control of how you age.
