The same treatment names are used for women and men, but anatomy, indication, dose and treatment vector are assessed individually. The aim is a natural-looking result; no particular appearance or invisibility of treatment can be guaranteed.

Book a personal consultation — we will talk openly about what is possible, where the limits are, and what result is realistic for you.
A first indication only — the binding recommendation always follows examination in the consultation.
| Treatment | If … | How | Downtime |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wrinkle treatment | … forehead and frown lines are the first thing people notice. | botulinum toxin for expression lines, hyaluronic acid for volume | none worth the name |
| Eyelid surgery | … heavy upper lids make you look tired. | excess skin removed through the natural lid crease | about a week |
| Thread lift | … the jawline has softened but the skin is still reasonably firm. | absorbable threads, pulled backwards along the jaw | about two days |
| FaceTite | … fat under the chin and mild skin laxity occur together. | radiofrequency under the skin, fat removed and tissue tightened | three to seven days |
| Fat-dissolving injections | … a small, well-defined double chin is the whole problem. | an agent injected directly into the fat deposit | none |
The single most common mistake in male aesthetic treatment is treating a man like a woman with a stronger jaw. Three rules follow from that, and they run through every page in this section.
All of this is discussed in the practice's dedicated men's clinic — a consultation slot reserved for male patients, where the subject can be raised without an audience.
Not every question about the face has its own page. We advise you on the following treatments in a personal consultation:
Dr. Frantzen and Dr. Finke are happy to advise you individually on surgical tightening procedures of the face – upper and lower eyelid lifts, temporal lifts, and face, neck and cheek lifts.
There is no flat price – the procedures differ too much in effort, technique, anaesthetic and duration. We tell you the binding price for your case at the end of the consultation, in writing and without hidden items.
Does health insurance pay? As a rule, no: purely aesthetic procedures are self-pay services. Statutory health insurers cover the costs only where there is a recognised medical indication; private insurers and benefit offices decide case by case. Whether there is any prospect of this in your case, we tell you openly.
Surgery is performed on an outpatient basis at our practice in Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg; inpatient procedures take place at the MEOCLINIC, Friedrichstraße 71, the private clinic in Quartier 206.

The plan is conservative and tailored to your anatomy, but swelling, bruising, asymmetry, scars or an altered expression can be temporarily or, depending on the procedure, persistently visible. No clinician can guarantee that treatment will be undetectable.
A consultation slot reserved for male patients. Some men would rather not sit in a waiting room with other patients to discuss this, and that is easy enough to arrange.
Injectable wrinkle treatment often requires less recovery than surgery, but redness, swelling, bruising, headache or other side effects can affect work and social plans. Which treatment is appropriate depends on examination, medical history and your priorities.
Yes, and they often are — botulinum toxin for the forehead with hyaluronic acid at the jaw, for instance, or FaceTite with a thread lift. What is sensible in one session is decided at the consultation.
As a rule no. These are aesthetic treatments and are paid privately. The exception is upper eyelid surgery where an ophthalmologist's visual field test shows a measurable restriction.
Yes. Consultations and treatments are available in German, English and Spanish.
Book an appointment in the men's clinic. We will tell you what is realistic, what we would leave alone, and what it would cost — before anything is decided.
