Medical Facials

We have more men who regularly get medical facials than any other service we do for them. Generally it falls into 3 categories: Microdermabrasion, Peels or General Facials. Microdermabrasion  helps with texture and aging issues in men. It also does a great job of helping with loose skin around the eye or neck area. Additionally, Microderm helps with general tightness and works great over a man’s beard area. Peels help with pre-cancerous lesions and age spots. In particular the VIPeel can do a great job of whipping that built up skin off of a man’s face while removing all kinds of discoloration and tightening their face. Some men even use this effectively on their bald heads to spiff up an area that tends to have lots of sun damage!  General Facials can be a great way to help with clogged pores and acne issues, plus brightening up aging skin. Generally men come in less often than woman, even a quarterly facial keeps you looking younger!

Botox/Filler

BOTOX and Fillers are definitely next on the list of Medical Spa services men are lining up for! With business as competitive in the workplace as it is, it is equally important for men to keep themselves looking youthful. Injectibles are a great way to achieve that goal with little down time. It’s more important for a man to have a subtle injector for sure though. Light, effective injections that are hard to detect but keep them perked up on their faces can truly make a big difference. Since 1997 the number of cosmetic procedures done on men increased a whopping 325% with the majority of those procedures done in the age range of 35-50 years old.

 

Laser Hair Removal & Waxing

laser-hair-removal-treatment-areas-1Who wants to shave off all that body hair? And unfortunately the latest trends are to remove it all, with that comes the need for better methods of hair removal. Laser Hair Removal in its inception was incredibly uncomfortable with lots of fallout afterwards, but it has truly come a long way.  Our Lumenis Desire laser machine is uses the latest technological advances to provide an comfortable treatment. Additionally, with “manscaping” on the rise we even have technicians in office who will happily wax or even laser off men’s hair in their nether regions leaving the skin smooth and hair free!

Venus Legacy – Skin Tightening / Body Contouring

Sagging skin can be hard to deal with, especially since it cannot be easily targeted with diet and exercise alone. Wherever you find it—over the cheekbones, around your chin, under your arms, or along your waistline—loose skin is a struggle. In the past, surgical procedures or injectables have been the go-to solution for skin tightening. Fortunately, that isn’t the case anymore.

Non-surgical radio frequency treatments rejuvenate the appearance of skin by safely and comfortably heating the tissue under the skin’s surface. This triggers the natural production of collagen and elastin, the key building blocks of healthy, youthful skin. The result is effortlessly tighter, smoother, and younger-looking skin.

How many treatments does it take?

Depending on the area treated it usually take 4-10 treatments (also depending on your individual goals.)

How close together do you need your series of treatments to be?

When you first begin your Venus Legacy treatments, you’ll need to come every 5-10 days.

How long does it last?

You results don’t disappear as much as you continue aging. Most folks repeat every 6 weeks – 6 months to maintain optimum results. And then just a single treatment is needed, not another series of treatments. If you don’t maintain treatments you will eventually go back to the way you looked before.

What results can I expect?

While everyone is different, the average client has between 1/4 inch – 1 inch of reduction. It comes from a combination of the skin tightening up and the shrinkage of fat tissue in the area. Here are some before and after pictures…

 

IPL Photorejuvenation

men ipl laserThe downside to being a man with major redness or age spot issues is that you can’t just throw on some makeup to hide the problem. IPL Photorejuvenation is an amazing solution that men are beginning to catch on to. IPL effectively treats redness from rosacea, broken capillaries and sun damage while simultaneously boosting collagen in a man’s face. It also does a great job of removing ugly age spots in the process. After a few treatments with this laser a man’s face can avoid the embarrassment of these discoloration problems!
