Abstract
MILOTICH-GOBERNA, Alicia et al. MAPA (Male Aesthetic Patient Approach) consensus of male beauty. Spanish consensus on the male aesthetic patient approach. Cir. plást. iberolatinoam. [online]. 2022, vol.48, n.4, pp.433-444. Epub Mar 13, 2023. ISSN 1989-2055. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/s0376-78922022000400010.
Background and objective.
The male demand for aesthetic treatment is increasingly relevant. However, there is still little evidence on Aesthetic Medicine in men and although some studies include recommendations on treatment guidelines with toxins and fillers for male patients, not all are valid in our Mediterranean setting.
For this reason, the MAPA (Male Aesthetic Patient Approach) consensus has been drawn up, a practical orientation guide to help the aesthetic doctor who is beginning to treat male patients.
Methods.
A panel of 9 experts in Aesthetic Medicine from different areas of Spain with extensive experience in the use of Abobotulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid fillers met to share their knowledge and usual clinical practices, and develop a series of fundamental recommendations in the field of male Aesthetic Medicine.
Results.
The topics discussed included questions related to clinical practice, profile of patients treated, treatment planning based on the desired end goal, and main Aesthetic Medicine techniques recommended for men. Finally, a series of recommendations on treatments to be applied in each area of facial treatment were also discussed.
Conclusions.
This consensus has collected the opinions, advice and experience of aesthetic doctors with extensive experience in the use of Abobotulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid fillers to help professionals achieve the best possible results in terms of efficacy and satisfaction in male patients.
