Men's Aesthetics & Longevity in Bali

It depends on how far your hair loss has gone. Regenerative treatment with PRP and exosomes strengthens follicles that are still active, so it suits thinning and early recession. A transplant moves follicles into areas that are already bald. A scalp assessment at SŌMA tells you honestly which option fits your stage, and regenerative treatment can also help maintain the hair you keep around a transplant.

Yes, when it is medically appropriate. At SŌMA, testosterone therapy is prescribed only after a doctor's consultation and blood tests that confirm low testosterone with matching symptoms. Many men with low energy turn out to have a sleep, thyroid, iron or metabolic cause instead, which is why testing comes first. If therapy is started, it is monitored with follow-up blood work, including when you return home.

That's the thing we work hardest to avoid, and it's the most common concern men raise. Our dosing is deliberately conservative — you can always add more at a review, but you can't easily take it away. Most male patients report that people say they look well rather than asking what they've had done.

More than most people assume. Men had 1.6 million cosmetic procedures in the US in 2024, up 4% on the year and faster than the market overall (American Society of Plastic Surgeons). Between 2019 and 2022, wrinkle-relaxer treatments in men rose 65% and fillers 70%, and 92% of facial plastic surgeons now treat male patients (AAFPRS).

Male facial muscles are larger and stronger, the brow sits lower and should stay that way, and male skin is thicker with higher collagen density. Using a female protocol on a man is how people end up with an arched, surprised look. We adjust dosing, injection points and technique.

The per-unit price is identical. Men typically need more units for the same area because facial muscles are stronger — a male forehead might take 20-30 units where a woman's takes 10-20 — so the total is often higher. Nothing is priced differently by gender.

It depends how far along you are. Regenerative hair treatment works by stimulating follicles that are still active, so the earlier you start, the more there is to work with. Once an area is fully bald, results are limited. A scalp assessment will give you an honest answer either way.

It might be, and it might be thyroid, iron, glucose or sleep quality. We don't guess. Assessment starts with a comprehensive blood panel and a hormone profile, and treatment follows the results. Hormone therapy is prescribed only where deficiency is confirmed on testing and symptoms match.

In men with diagnosed testosterone deficiency, the TRAVERSE trial — a randomised study of 5,246 men published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2023 — found testosterone therapy non-inferior to placebo for major adverse cardiac events. That evidence applies to confirmed deficiency, not to men with normal levels seeking enhancement, and we prescribe accordingly with ongoing monitoring.

Yes. Private appointment, no waiting room, and no reason for anyone to know. If you'd prefer a specific time of day or a particular doctor, say so when you book and we'll arrange it.

Most aesthetic treatments are 20-60 minutes including consultation, and you can return to normal activity within hours. Wrinkle relaxers take about 15 minutes. Hormone and hair protocols require an initial blood draw with results reviewed a few days later.

Easily. Wrinkle relaxers, fillers and hair treatments are all travel-friendly — flying is fine the same day. Plan injectables for the start of your trip so results settle while you're still here, and avoid intense heat and heavy training for the first 24 hours.
