Buddies recommend it is cosmetic nurse Cathrine Schjøtt at the Clinic Nyhud in Kristiansand who treats Hansi.

Now I feel that they are coming because they are recommended by the others in the gang of friends, or by his wife, says Schjøtt. – What are most people wanting to fix? – There are often molder nails, and micro -wedding for smoother skin. We also do some laser treatment to get rid of scars in the skin, says Schjøtt. – Men may be afraid of how they should be perceived if others learn that they are taking beauty treatments.

Photo: Victoria Marie Nordahl / news According to the Norwegian Institute of Public Health, more than 174,000 packages of Botox were sold last year. The institute cannot distinguish between what is used for medical, or cosmetic purposes. A study from last year showed that 10 percent of those surveyed had fixed the appearance of surgery. 30 percent of these were men. Professor and psychologist specialist Silje Endresen Reme at the University of Oslo is one of the authors behind the study. – Cosmetic surgery has become more accepted and more common to handle dissatisfaction with body and appearance. The number of beauty clinics also increases crazy, also in Norway, she says. What do you think about this development? Share your thoughts in the comments section at the bottom of the case. According to clinics, more men are taking different treatments now than it was 10 years ago. However, the men are not always interested in being discovered, says Schjøtt. – Many people come in the evening. Then they do not have to walk from the clinic and straight out on the street, and maybe meet some famous, she says. Old fun 33-year-old Didrik Hægg is not curious about either botox or fillers. But, he is in the process of laser treatment. – I take away some old fun that I got tattooed on my leg 15 years ago, but something more than it is not relevant to me, he says. Didrik Hægg was dissatisfied with his ears when he was smaller, and if he had plagued him today he would operate them.

But, if someone has a chin or a nose that they have had challenges with all their lives, then I think it will be more accepted to fix it, than to take fillers and botox. – Why do you think the men take more space on the customer lists now? – I think the threshold has been lower. Never before have we been so much exposed to beautiful people as we become now, with social media. Then men also compare themselves with what we see, he says. Hægg understands those who keep their treatments secret, and especially men who have masculine professions. – I can imagine that being the worker who works at a construction site that makes some interventions will not be very popular. At least here in southern Norway, he says with a smile. Didrik Hægg’s leg has a tattoo on. It should be removed with laser treatment at a beauty clinic.

Then you suddenly find that you can operate a sixpack in too. You just find new errors, he says.

Østerøy has good experience from standing in front of the camera itself. He is a former model and reality participant. Here, Østerøy instructs one of the influences he is the manager for. Østerøy believes men are taking more treatments because they look at other men in social media that show what they have done. – Before, it was so that men should be hairy and harsh. Now there are more people who make up and take more care of themselves. Then it becomes more natural to do other things, too, plus to post before and after pictures, he says. Østerøy believes there is much greater openness to talk about cosmetic treatments in the gay environment. – I think there are many more gays taking surgeries than heterosexual men. In the heterosexual environment, I feel it is more like you should be common, he says. Cosmetic nurse Cathrine Schjøtt has a different experience. She treats the most heterosexual men at her clinic. – I have men here almost every day, but they probably don’t talk to anyone but their loved ones about it, she says. Hello!
