As a laser specialist who has been in the skincare industry since 2009, I have seen how we have finally moved into an era where it is “acceptable” for men to look after themselves to the same extent or similar extent as women do. I don’t know about you, but I personally never agreed with how society prevented men from looking after themselves as it was seen as a feminine thing to do.
I am super happy to let all those nervous; uncertain; don’t want to be judged men, who have always wanted to try improving their skin condition know that the time has come for YOU!
Top Treatments For Men
It is time for you to feel confident within your skin again and to know that you are not alone, many more men are doing it! Why should men age and women shouldn’t… Rubish!! Let us change that by starting with you!
There are many reasons for you to explore the aesthetic realm, the first would be for taming that mane. I’m surprised it’s taken men so long to get there. As a busy female this has been the best time saver for me. All my male patients LOVE laser hair removal, if anything, I think men appreciate it even more than women do. Goodbye razor rash, hello perfect shape.
Aging is aging, sun is sun, damage is damage, but something can always be done! Men age, men get sun damage, men also suffer from conditions like pigmentation, rosacea, keratosis, veins, wrinkles, and every skin condition that females get too. So why not treat, correct, and prevent unwanted, unnecessary skin conditions so that you can confidently walk around feeling like you are on top of the world with youthful, beautiful, nourished, and well-maintained skin and beard.
If taming your mane is not your thing, but you would like to take care of your future skin you could start with a BBL treatment. In most cases we all have sun damage to some extent, so I would start there, besides 80% of our damages and skin concerns are mostly linked to excess sun exposure. When a person removes the unwanted unevenness of the skin tone due to sun damage there is a beautiful elusion of younger looking skin.
What is BBL?
BBL stands for Broad Brand Light, this treatment targets red and brown pigment in the skin. When doing BBL we can almost instantly see the pigmentation and sun damage draw to the surface, the body identifies the damaged cells and over the next 5 – 14 days the body disperses and gets rid of the damaged cells. This treatment also stimulates collagen production and will over time strengthen and improve your skin and its cells within.
No pain no gain!
Now for the main question that I know you are asking yourself… “Is it painful”. There is a common saying, “no pain, no gain”. Just like anything in life you need to step out of your comfort zone to grow, so hold on tight and push through the 15 – 20 minutes of discomfort! I wouldn’t call it painful unless you really have a low pain threshold. We apply a topical anesthetic cream to numb the area we are treating; this allows for more comfort for the patient to endure the treatment and higher settings.
As we are reducing and removing sun damage and pigmentation from the skin, there is a little downtime. As the pigmentation draws to the surface it becomes darker and more noticeable, on average the fading of the pigmentation takes approximately 5 – 10 days. The next day after your treatment is the worse day, thereafter each day gets better. The more sever the damage is, then more you would feel the treatment, and the more downtime a person would have.
Now, with, the second, third and possibly fourth treatment that we would need to do for better results, the damage is already reduced from the first treatment, thus the treatment sensation and downtime improves with every treatment.
There are many treatments to assist everyone with their skin concerns, once you start, trust me I see it in ALL my patients, you come back wanting to improve more as you see what a difference it makes in you mentally and emotionally.
I hope after reading this you feel more confident to reach out and have your skin concerns under control and even better removed! Say goodbye to those unwanted skin concerns, and welcome back your youthful, undamaged healthy skin!
The only judgment is from yourself, don’t allow society to stop you! I know as I keep my Fiancé young too!! As a laser specialist, I know of many if not all women that would prefer and love for their men to pay attention in maintaining their handsome, gorgeous, and youthful skin! I treat my man to ensure he always feels as confident in his skin, as I do in mine.
