Men's Aesthetics & Longevity in Bali
Look Like You've Slept, Trained and Taken Care of Yourself.
Most clinics are built for women and see men by accident. SŌMA isn't. Doctor-led treatments in Uluwatu for hair loss, wrinkles, jawline, body, energy and injury recovery, calibrated to male anatomy: subtle enough that nobody knows, effective enough that you notice.
More Men Than You Think
The Numbers
Men had 1.6 million cosmetic procedures in the US in 2024, up 4% and growing faster than the market (ASPS). Between 2019 and 2022, wrinkle-relaxer treatments in men rose 65% and fillers 70% (ASPS), and 92% of facial plastic surgeons now treat male patients (AAFPRS).
Different Anatomy, Different Dosing
Male facial muscles are larger and stronger, brow position sits lower, and skin is thicker with higher collagen density. Treating a man with a woman's protocol is how people end up looking odd. Dosing, injection points and technique all change.
Discreet by Default
Private appointment, no waiting room, no fuss. Most of our male patients come in on the way to or from something else and are back out within the hour.
Why Men Choose SŌMA
Calibrated to Male Anatomy
Male facial muscles are stronger and brow position sits lower. Dosing, injection points and technique are adjusted accordingly — the difference between looking rested and looking surprised.
Tested, Not Guessed
Energy, sleep and recovery complaints start with a blood panel and a hormone profile — not a supplement recommendation.
Nobody Will Know
Our approach is deliberately conservative. The most common feedback from male patients is that people say they look well, not that they ask what they've had done.
One Clinic, Not Five
Skin, hair, hormones, weight and injury recovery under one medical team, so protocols are sequenced rather than colliding.
Discreet and Efficient
Private appointment, no waiting room, most treatments done inside an hour. Several of our male patients come in between meetings.
Doctor-Led Throughout
Every treatment is performed by a certified doctor under the medical direction of Dr Shirley Yuliana Kwee. No technicians, no shortcuts.
What Men Come to SŌMA For
Thinning hair
"My hairline isn't where it used to be."
Body and belly fat
"Training isn't shifting the last bit."
Wrinkles and dark circles
"I look tired even when I'm not."
Energy and testosterone
"I feel flat, and I'm not recovering like I used to."
Jawline and double chin
"I've lost the definition I used to have."
Injury and recovery
"My elbow still hurts six months later."
Skin and scars
"Years of sun and surf are showing on my face."
Hair Loss Treatment for Men: Thinning Crown or Receding Hairline
"My hairline isn't where it used to be."
Male-pattern hair loss is driven by genetics and hormones that gradually shrink hair follicles. Regenerative treatment works best while follicles are still active, so the earlier you start, the more there is to work with.
Results build over 2–3 months, followed by maintenance sessions.
Wrinkles and Dark Circles in Men: Forehead Lines, Frown Lines and Tired Eyes
"I look tired even when I'm not."
Men's facial muscles are larger and stronger, so lines set deeper and need more product placed differently. Dark circles are usually hollowing and thin skin under the eye rather than lack of sleep, so they are treated separately with skin boosters, filler or collagen stimulators.
Wrinkle relaxers take effect in 3–14 days and last 3–6 months.
Jawline Filler and Double Chin Treatment for Men: A Sharper Profile
"I've lost the definition I used to have."
With age, bone loss softens the jaw and chin, skin loosens, and fat settles under the chin that training doesn't shift. Filler and collagen stimulators rebuild an angular line, and fat-reduction treatments clear the double chin, all without surgery.
Filler results are immediate, settle within 2 weeks and last 12–18 months.
Acne Scars, Sun Damage and Large Pores: Skin Treatment for Men
"Years of sun and surf are showing on my face."
Male skin is thicker and oilier, which makes pores and scarring more visible, and Bali's sun adds pigmentation and rough texture. Laser and microneedling rebuild collagen beneath the surface so skin looks smoother and more even.
Laser results build over 1–3 weeks and last 6–12 months with maintenance.
Stubborn Belly Fat, Love Handles and Back Hair: Body Treatments for Men
"Training isn't shifting the last bit."
Stubborn fat around the waist often resists diet and training, and muscle tone drops with age. Body sculpting targets those areas alongside your training, and laser removes back and chest hair for the long term.
EMS results show after 2–4 sessions and last 6+ months with maintenance.
Low Energy and Low Testosterone: Hormone Testing and TRT in Bali
"I feel flat, and I'm not recovering like I used to."
Testosterone declines gradually with age, but poor sleep, stress, alcohol, thyroid and iron problems cause the same symptoms. We test before we treat: testosterone therapy is prescribed only when blood tests confirm low levels and your doctor agrees it is appropriate.
Blood results in 3–5 days; energy often improves within 4–8 weeks of starting a protocol.
Sports Injury Recovery: Regenerative Treatment for Tendons and Joints
"My elbow still hurts six months later."
Tendons and joints have a poor blood supply, so injuries from training, surfing or padel can take months to settle. Regenerative treatments deliver growth factors to the injured area to support repair.
Improvement is gradual over weeks to months; your doctor sets the protocol.

The Thing You're Actually Worried About
Men Come to SŌMA When They...
The most common thing men tell us is that they don't want to look like they've had anything done. That's precisely what we optimise for. Men typically come in when they:
• Keep noticing they look tired in photos, or have dark circles that sleep doesn't fix
• Have a heavy frown line or forehead crease that reads as stressed or angry
• Are losing hair and want to act while there is still something to work with
• Want a sharper jawline, or to lose a double chin, without surgery
• Have low energy, poor sleep or slower recovery and want to know whether it's hormonal
• Picked up a training, surf or padel injury that hasn't properly healed
• Want to lose weight with medical supervision rather than guesswork
• Would rather do this quietly, in one visit, with a doctor
Investment in Your Confidence
• We work conservatively — you can always add more, you can't easily take it away
• Men usually need more units than women for the same area because facial muscles are stronger; the per-unit price is the same
• Hormone therapy is prescribed only following consultation, blood testing and confirmed clinical indication
• Hair loss treatment works best while follicles are still active; results are limited once an area is fully bald
• Every treatment requires a medical consultation first
All treatments at SŌMA are performed by certified doctors following a medical consultation. Individual results vary. Hormone therapy is prescribed only where clinically indicated and confirmed by blood testing.

What Our Male Patients Say
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Was lucky enough to be gifted two treatments at Soma. It's been a long time since I had any sort of procedures done (I'm a male), so I was totally unaware about what to expect. First of all, the communication and follow-up was incredible, the Soma team care more about me than I even care about myself! The procedures weren't painless, but I still felt very cared for, with the nurse and doctor telling me what was happening every step of the way. The clinic was very clean and organised, and private, even though it was quite busy. A very nice experience, which I would recommend to anyone who wants a positive experience, with exceptional service and effective procedures.

Great service and experience me and my wife we went to SOMA based on friends recommendation as last time they used them for IVs. Super professional and knowledgeable doctors. I had PRP for my hair and my wife laser skin treatments. Highly recommended as best place in Bali for any aesthetics treatments at a fraction of the price compared to Australia.

PRP Hair Restoration

Very happy with the service experience and the results. Initially, I went based on a friend's recommendation for a treatment of my elbow injury that I got during CrossFit. I really wanted to enjoy exercising during the rest of my stay in Bali. I got a Secretome treatment and exosomes that worked very well. I also ended up doing wrinkle relaxer injections, hair removal treatments, and EMS sessions to catch up on lost training time :). I am very happy with the results. I highly recommend Soma. It is the best clinic in Uluwatu for regenerative treatments, injectables, and laser hair removal.

Very positive experience. I had the premium IVs twice and Exosome treatments for hair thinning and Padel injury. I am very happy with the result. The doctor has expertise in regenerative medicine, what was a nice surprise to find it in Bali, and the service is truly high end. A must-visit clinic for high-end precision wellness and exosomes.

Questions Men Ask About Treatment in Bali
What can I do about a double chin without surgery?
+
It depends on the cause. Fat under the chin responds to fat-dissolving injections or EMS with radiofrequency, loose skin to skin tightening, and a weak chin to chin filler, which often improves the double chin too. Your doctor will assess which applies at your consultation.
Can men treat dark circles under the eyes?
+
Yes. In men, dark circles usually come from hollowing and thin skin under the eye rather than tiredness alone. Under-eye skin boosters, collagen stimulators and, where there is a hollow, carefully placed filler can soften them. Wrinkle relaxers don't treat dark circles.
Is regenerative hair treatment an alternative to a hair transplant?
+
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.
Can I get testosterone therapy (TRT) in Bali?
+
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.
Will people be able to tell I've had something done?
+
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.
Do many men actually do this?
+
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% (ASPS), and 92% of facial plastic surgeons now treat male patients (AAFPRS).
Why do men need different treatment to women?
+
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.
Will it cost more because I'm a man?
+
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.
I'm losing my hair. Is it worth treating?
+
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.
I'm tired all the time. Is that hormones?
+
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.
Is testosterone therapy safe?
+
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.
Is this discreet?
+
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.
How much time does it take?
+
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.
Can I do this while I'm on holiday?
+
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.
Book a Consultation. No Commitment.
