Men mistakenly think that medspas are just for the ladies in their life. The truth is, there are numerous services that can benefit men just as they do women…in some cases even more! Below are the top 5 MedSpa services for men.
Hair Restoration with PRP
One of the most common cosmetic concerns for men is hair loss. Thinning hair can begin in your 20s or 30s and is sparked by many factors – genetics, high stress environments, poor diet, health concerns, certain medications, and our environment.
Since the majority of the male population perceives a full head of thick, healthy hair as a sign of youthfulness, it’s no surprise that hair restoration is one of the most sought out Medspa treatments for men. PRP injections are one of the most effective treatment options for hair loss, as it stimulates inactive hair follicles, using the patients’ own healing system to boost results.
Botox – or should we say Brotox
Although studies have shown that men’s skin produces more collagen than women, it tends to diminish at a more consistent rate over time. The loss of collagen expedites the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. This is where the benefits of Botox injections come into play. Preventative Botox is the perfect solution for both men and women who are anxious about early signs of aging. Botox relaxes the muscles, preventing premature wrinkles from having the opportunity to form. Experts recommend starting treatment in your mid to late 20s. Botox injections can also be used to help treat other health conditions such as Hyperhidrosis, recurring migraines, teeth grinding, as well as muscle spasms due to intense workouts.
Chemical Peels
Studies have also shown that sebum production (oil) is higher in males, specifically after they hit puberty. This makes them more susceptible to longer-lasting acne and eczema. It all comes down to balancing our acid and alkaline levels, otherwise known as ‘pH levels’. The ideal pH level of our skin is between 4.5 and 5.5; 4.5 being more acidic. Men typically fall more on the acidic side, so it is important to use products that are going to counteract this. Chemical Peels are great for unclogging pores, clearing blemishes, as well as helping to remove hyperpigmentation.
IPL/Photofacials
An IPL, also known as a Photofacial, is a skin resurfacing treatment that utilizes light therapy to treat several skin conditions. Intense Pulsed Light is great for removing unwanted pigment, broken capillaries, varicose veins (spider veins), and improving skin’s texture without the need for invasive surgery. It can also dramatically reduce age spots from sun damage. As an added bonus, IPL Photofacials stimulate collagen production, which helps fight signs of aging.
Laser Hair Removal
Improper shaving and waxing techniques can cause the hair to grow sideways into the skin, which can cause the area to become inflamed and irritated. Because men are typically required to shave their facial hair quite frequently, this puts them at a higher risk for developing ingrown hair. Not only can this cause irritation, but it may also lead to other skin complications over time. In addition, each time you shave, your skin is exposed to bacteria and pollutants. Laser Hair Removal utilizes controlled pulses of light to heat the hair follicle and prevent regrowth, limiting the need to shave all together. It is recommended to come in for 4-6 treatment sessions in order to distinguish full results. Laser Hair removal is considered a more permanent solution for hair removal. Yearly touch-ups may be necessary in some cases.
