Getting into a skincare routine can be difficult. Most men tend to notice differences in their skin once they hit the age of 40. It’s important to implement a healthy skincare routine to prevent additional potential aging, scars or dark spots. Here at Faces Med Spa, our professionals discuss how to get into a healthy skincare routine and how to address aging. 

Use an SPF Daily
One reason you may have premature aging is because of extensive UVA/UVB exposure. In addition to premature aging and skin cancers, UV rays can reduce natural collagen production. At the age of 40,  your natural collagen production begins to decline. Applying a light, SPF 30 every day can decrease your chance of skin cancer, prevent additional aging and repair damaged skin.

Use a Daily Cleanser
Throughout the day, dirt and oil can pile up on your skin. It’s important to cleanse your face at the end of every day to free your skin from dirt and toxins. When you cleanse your face, it allows the skin to be stripped clean, leaving your pores open so you can apply products that your skin will absorb. 

Exfoliate Three Times Per Week
Dead skin cells can build up on the surface of your skin, which can create build up. Using an exfoliator a few times a week can help shed those dead skin cells and help brighten your complexion. We recommend using an exfoliator after washing your face to keep skin smooth and feeling refreshed. 

Use A Retinol Serum
Retinol helps stimulate the growth of collagen. Collagen production helps keep your skin ageless and increases cell-turnover. Cell-turnover decreases as you age and using retinol can also improve acne, large pores and discoloration. If it’s your first time using retinol, we recommend microdosing. Retinol can be harsh on the skin at first, so we suggest starting with a low dosage and using it only once a week. 

Moisturize Twice a Day
In addition to a decrease in natural collagen production, the skin’s capacity to suppress moisture also decreases with age. Depending on your skin’s hydration levels, moisture in the skin can fluctuate daily. To lock in moisture, we suggest applying a gentle moisturizer when you wake up and before you go to bed. This will allow your skin to absorb moisture throughout the day and throughout the night. Keeping your skin hydrated will help the overall appearance and condition of your skin. 

Create an Overall Healthy Lifestyle
Products aren’t the only important aspect of a great skincare routine, diet also affects the appearance of your skin. Foods high in sugar can often lead to acne breakouts and solidifying collagen production. Eating a healthy diet can promote clear skin, so we suggest staying away from those sweet treats to keep a smooth complexion.

Facial rejuvenation and medical spa services have grown in popularity in recent years, and they’re not just for women—men can also enjoy the benefits a MedSpa has to offer.

From Botox to facials to non-invasive fat cell reduction options, professional med spas like Faces Med Spa cater to men who desire to look and feel their best. In fact, according to Dr. Scott Gerrish, Medical Director over 20% of his private patient base is men from the ages of 18-80 all who want to look their best.

Facial Rejuvenation – Botox and Facials for Men

From dullness and large pores to acne and rosacea to fine lines and wrinkles, facials are a great way to treat a number of skin care concerns for guys. Guys skin is unique and a skin treatment or facial should be designed to target your specific skin care concerns, and a professional Med Spa will provide you with some take-home skin care options to provide optimal results after treatment. At Faces Med Spa we offer professional medical grade take-home skin care treatment options from reputable skin care companies such as Obaji, NeoCutis, and Intraceuticals so your skin can continue the results started in the medspa.

Botox is another option that many guys turn to for the treatment of moderate to severe forehead lines between the brows, as well as crow’s feet lines. Guys are turning to Botox to shave off a few years especially in today’s ultra competitive job market. Results from Botox can be seen within a week and will vary based on the number of units used and the areas treated. If people are frequently asking if you are tired or mad Botox can take the edge off of facial lines that can be interpreted  at harsh.

Additional facial rejuvenation options for men include Chemical Peels, Microdermabrasion, fillers such as Restylane and Voluma, and laser resurfacing treatments. A reputable Med Spa professional will take the time to get clear about your specific skin care needs so a personal plan of action can be created for optimal results.

Fat Cell Reduction and CoolSculpting

Want a little less to love in the love handle areas?  For men looking to reduce fat in those stubborn hard-to-lose areas, CoolSculpting might be the answer. CoolSculpting is the first and only FDA-approved fat reduction option. It requires no cutting, anesthesia, needles, or downtime and has been approved to treat fat around the abdomen, outer and inner thighs, sides, and under the chin. By safely and precisely freezing fat cells in these areas, the cells are naturally reduced from the body, resulting in a more toned-looking body. The number of treatments required will vary per person, and many see results in as little as two weeks.  See what John had to say about his medspa experience with Dr. Gerrish.
