Top Cosmetic Dermatology Options for Men (But Great for Everyone!)
BOTOX® Cosmetic – Great Results & Benefits for Dad
BOTOX Cosmetic isn’t just for women—more and more men are discovering its subtle yet powerful benefits. Often referred to as “Brotox,” this quick, non-surgical treatment that smooths dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions, such as frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead creases.
With just a few small injections, BOTOX Cosmetic temporarily relaxes targeted muscles, softening lines without changing a man’s natural facial expressions. The result? A refreshed, well-rested appearance that looks confident and professional—not overdone.
It is helpful in the workplace and social settings, where first impressions matter. BOTOX Cosmetic helps reduce the look of stress or fatigue while maintaining a strong, masculine appearance. Treatments take about 30 minutes with no downtime, making it easy to fit into a lunch break. Results typically appear within a few days and last 3 to 4 months.
Laser Hair Reduction: A Smart Grooming Solution for Men
How It Works
Laser hair reduction is a procedure that uses pulsed laser light (highly concentrated light) to damage and destroy hair follicles. The laser’s wavelength is attracted to melanin or pigment in the hair. The hair absorbs this light, which is then converted from light to heat, damaging the hair root and preventing future regrowth. Since hair is always in different growth phases, at any given time, it is either in the resting phase (telogen) or the growth phase (anagen). For this reason, multiple treatments are often needed to “catch” the hair in the best growth phase while it is still attached to the root.
What to Expect After Treatment
Hair typically starts falling out within about a week. However, if patients frequently shave, they may only notice a gradual, patchy fading of hair in the treated areas. When treated, any hair not attached to the root may grow back, but it typically grows back finer. These hairs can be re-treated at future appointments.
Benefits of Laser Hair Reduction for Men
1. Long-Term Time Saver
Men often deal with the frequent shaving or trimming of areas such as the back, chest, neck, shoulders, and beard line. Laser hair reduction significantly reduces the need for regular maintenance, saving time and hassle in the long run.
2. Reduces Ingrown Hairs
Shaving and waxing can lead to painful ingrown hairs and razor bumps, particularly in areas like the neck or beard line. Laser treatments help eliminate these issues by targeting the hair at the follicle, reducing the chances of hair growing back incorrectly.
3. Cleaner, More Defined Look
Laser hair reduction can create smoother, more defined contours, especially around the beard or neckline. It’s an excellent option for men who want a clean, professional appearance without daily upkeep.
4. Improved Skin Comfort
By reducing hair growth, the skin is less prone to irritation, redness, and folliculitis (inflammation of hair follicles), which is common in areas with thick or coarse hair.
5. Boosts Confidence
Less body hair in areas like the back, chest, or shoulders can increase comfort and confidence, especially during warmer months or workouts when excess hair can trap sweat and cause discomfort.
6. Customizable and Safe
Laser hair reduction is highly customizable for different skin types, hair types, and treatment areas, making it a safe and effective option for a wide range of men’s grooming needs.
HydraFacial™: The All-In-One Facial Skin Refresh
HydraFacial combines extraction, exfoliation, hydration, and protection into one powerful treatment. During your consultation, one of our Dermatology Providers will assess your skin and create a customized treatment plan.
Key Benefits of HydraFacial
- Little to no downtime
- Addresses many concerns with one simple treatment
- Deep rehydration
- Clears debris and impurities
- Smooths wrinkles, fine lines, and uneven skin tone
HydraFacial delivers rejuvenating serums and does it all without pain, irritation, or adverse side effects. The treatment not only revitalizes the skin in as little as one visit, but it also allows you to resume your daily routine right away.
How HydraFacial Works
Your procedure will consist of several steps. First, the skin is gently and thoroughly exfoliated. The exfoliation is not painful and is reported as being pleasant and relaxing to experience.
Next, a handheld device is used to extract dirt and debris lodged within the facial pores. The suction pulls impurities from your skin, giving you a fresh, healthy glow.
Lastly, a hydrating serum is applied to saturate the skin with antioxidants, promoting skin health. The serum will also protect the freshly revealed facial skin. The entire treatment takes approximately 45 minutes to complete.
Is HydraFacial Right for Me?
Virtually any adult man or woman can be a candidate for HydraFacial. The gentle treatment can be performed on all skin tones, ethnicities, and skin types. The all-natural nourishing serums and exfoliants used in HydraFacial enhance your natural skin tone, leaving your facial skin looking fresh and glowing.
Even those with sensitive skin can safely enjoy a HydraFacial. The treatment serums used to nourish your skin can be customized to suit your unique needs. Our aestheticians will evaluate your skin to create a personalized HydraFacial tailored to your specific needs.
