The 5 Best Treatments For Men

Although Aesthetics and Beauty are typically not aimed towards men, there has been a huge uptake with men getting treatments in recent years. This may be the increased transparency of both men and women getting treatments! If you or a partner are interested in getting treatments, here is a guide to what treatments work best!

What Treatments Are Suitable For Men?

Technically there’s no treatment that women get that men cannot, it may just be approached a different way.

Here are the most popular treatments men typically get.

Skin Resurfacing For Men

HydraFacial MD Skin Resurfacing

“Just don’t call it a facial!” Though the name may mislead you the HydraFacial MD is no facial! The HydraFacialMD is a skin resurfacing treatment that improves skin tone and texture. This multistep treatment is customisable to your skin needs but the basic steps rarely change.

Step 1: Cleanse & Exfoliate:  Here dead skin cells are removed to help clear pores and bacteria.

Step2: Acid Peel: The peel will be different depending on what your skin needs, typically a stronger peel is used on men’s skin as it is thicker. This helps to loosen dirt from the pores.

Step 3: Extraction: Using the unique vortex fusion impurities are sucked out from your pores, manual extraction may also be done if needed.

Step 4: Hydration: Here we add antioxidants and hyaluronic acid to nourish and moisturise the skin. This will keep the skin protected from elements.

Step 5:  LED Light Therapy: The final step of the treatment uses Blue and Red LED lights, these kill bacteria, help with redness, improve collagen, and strengthen skin.

It’s recommended shaving the day before the treatment. On the day of your skin will be too sensitive and the treatment though fine with a light stubble cannot be done with a beard.

Rejuvapen® Microneedle.  

Our RF Microneedling uses needles to puncture the skin and encourage it to renew itself and make it stronger. Men are more likely to suffer from Rosacea (typically on the nose) and collagen renewal will help strengthen the skin lessening the effects of Rosacea.

Botox®

Botox is definitely on the rise for men! There is a particular increase in those who have high-stress commission-based jobs such as sales. Again there is very little difference between men’s and women’s treatments. Brow lifts, in particular, are popular with men to stop a heavy brow.

One thing that is done differently is concentrating on making sure the treatment is done in a natural way.  A cosmetic treatment must be natural otherwise it can look bad. Our team of doctors make sure to use as little as needed to make sure we get results.

Dermal Filler Treatments.

Though it may not seem typical lip filler and cheek filler treatments are definitely on the rise with men!  Please note the male face has particular characteristics that need to be carefully observed.  A male face for example has a slightly more central peak on the face.   Changing the contours of the face requires a doctor who knows exactly how to do this in a natural way.

The face also can be rejuvenated by treating, for example, under eye circles with dermal filler. Again as a treatment that requires an in depth knowledge of facial anatomy and the interplay with gel based fillers, this is not something to entrust to your local beautician!

Emface for Double Chin Removal

Using Radio Frequency and Ultrasound, heat is used to melt the fat and tighten the skin. Multiple treatments will be needed for this resulting in a tighter jawline, correction of sagging cheeks and even lifting of a heavy brow.
