Gynecomastia, a prevalent condition among males, involves the enlargement or swelling of breast tissue. This condition often arises from an imbalance between the hormones testosterone and estrogen. While all males produce some estrogen, the higher levels of testosterone typically prevent estrogen from triggering breast tissue growth.
The Hormonal Influence: The presence of estrogen can cause breast tissue to expand. However, testosterone’s dominant presence usually counteracts this effect, maintaining a natural balance.
Exploring Surgical Options: Two surgical avenues are available to address gynecomastia:
- Liposuction: Ideal for reducing excess fat.
- Mastectomy: Effective for the removal of breast gland tissue.
Surgical Options are not offered by Derma Cosmetika.
Our Non-Surgical Approach at Derma Cosmetika: Embracing innovation, we offer non-surgical solutions for gynecomastia:
- Fat Freezing: Utilizing advanced technology to reduce size.

Seeking Professional Guidance: If gynecomastia persists or leads to discomfort, it could indicate existing gland tissue. Seeking your doctor’s advice and undergoing an ultrasound, if necessary, can provide valuable insights.

What causes gynaecomastia?
Welcome to our comprehensive guide on gynaecomastia, a condition that affects many individuals, causing discomfort and self-consciousness. We’re here to shed light on this topic and provide valuable insights.
Understanding Gynaecomastia: Gynaecomastia doesn’t have a single cause; it can stem from various factors, with causes differing from person to person. This condition can impact one or both breasts and may result in uneven effects. While gynaecomastia won’t lead to serious health issues, it can significantly affect one’s mental well-being. The positive news is that gynaecomastia often resolves itself in teenagers as hormones find balance. In cases where it persists, there might be an underlying cause.
Common Causes:
- Hormonal Imbalance or Changes
- Medication Usage
- Recreational Drug Use
- Thyroid Issues
- Weight Gain
- Kidney-Related Diseases
- Excessive Alcohol Consumption
Food:
The ten foods that may cause the development of man boobs are as follows:
- Dairy Products
- Soy Products
- Deep Fried Food
- Beer And Alcohol
- Beetroot
- Cold Cuts And Frozen Meats
The Prevalence:
Gynaecomastia’s prevalence varies based on age, hormonal fluctuations, and medical conditions. Here’s an overview:
- Adolescents: Puberty-related hormonal changes result in up to 70% of adolescent boys experiencing gynaecomastia. Fortunately, this often resolves on its own.
- Adults: Around 30% of adult men might experience gynaecomastia at some point.
- Elderly Men: As age increases, so does the likelihood of experiencing gynaecomastia, with up to 70% of men over 50 being affected.
- Specific Groups: Certain factors, such as obesity, hormonal imbalances, and medication use, can elevate the risk.
Seeking Professional Advice: While many cases of gynaecomastia are temporary and harmless, it’s important to consult a healthcare professional if you’re concerned. They can offer a proper diagnosis, identify potential causes, and discuss suitable treatment options, if necessary.

How can gynaecomastia be treated?
Gynaecomastia can be treated through both surgical and nonsurgical means. At Derma Cosmetika, we only offer non-surgical gynaecomastia treatments.
The fat cells that get deposited in the tissues under the skin at the chest need to be removed to treat gynaecomastia. Treating the underlying condition along with undergoing cosmetic procedures will provide a comprehensive treatment that offers effective results. Some of the treatment options used commonly for male chest or male breast reduction include hormone therapy, exercises and diets, surgery, breast skin tightening and fat-freezing. More often than not, aestheticians recommend non-invasive procedures to reduce the complexity of treatment and recovery. Further, non-surgical procedures are also affordable.

What are the risks with non-surgical man boobs reduction treatment?
Non-surgical treatment options entail minimal downtime compared to surgical procedures. They do not involve the insertion of drainage tubes, needles, surgical incisions, anaesthesia, or risk of infection. While the treated area may feel tender to the touch for a few days, it should not hinder your daily activities.
When Should i expect to see results?
The full effect of the treatment is typically observed within 3 months, although some individuals may notice initial changes as early as the first 2 weeks. These changes continue to improve gradually until reaching the 3-month mark.

Non-surgical gynaecomastia treatment at Derma Cosmetika
At Derma Cosmetika we offer non-surgical options for gynaecomastia.
For fat reduction, we perform fat freezing using cryolipolysis technology to reduce the number of fat cells resulting in a good amount of size reduction. The fat doesn’t usually come back and the results are permanent. This is a procedure with no downtime any minimal discomfort.
It is also important for some cases – if necessary- to work on lifting and tightening the skin after the fat cells are reduced for better looking and lifting skin. This is achieved by Exilis Ultra 360 using radio-frequency technology. Exilis Ultra 360 is a non-invasive and non-surgical treatment option with no down time. The treatment is used to melt the fat cells in the chest area. The fat is then expelled through the lymphatic system. Our non-surgical gynaecomastia treatment is also painless and effective. With the Exilis Ultra 360 being ideal to treat most areas of the body, the procedure is also safe to be conducted by our professionals.
