Hypothesis
This study aimed to assess male awareness, attitudes, and experiences with aesthetic procedures in Saudi Arabia and identify factors influencing their engagement with these interventions.
Conclusion
Awareness and acceptance of cosmetic procedures among Saudi males are increasing, influenced by various cultural, societal, and personal factors.
Supporting Evidence
- 61.6% of participants had never undergone a cosmetic procedure.
- Social media was the primary source of information for 40.7% of participants.
- Significant factors influencing attitudes included age, education level, employment status, and marital status.
Takeaway
The study found that many men in Saudi Arabia don't know much about cosmetic procedures, and most haven't had any done because of social views, cost, or not needing them.
Methodology
A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 818 male participants from various regions in Saudi Arabia using a structured questionnaire.
Potential Biases
Distributing the online questionnaire via social media platforms, shopping malls, and hospitals could have shown a bias toward community members who had access to the questionnaire.
Limitations
The sample size was not distributed equally throughout all regions of Saudi Arabia, which may affect the representativeness of the findings.
Participant Demographics
Participants were male Saudi nationals aged 18 years and above, with a mean age of 39.5 years, and included various educational and employment statuses.
