Our Top 10 for Men

The idea that anti-aging is for “women only” is long gone!  Current trends show that men account for the fastest growing population of cosmetic self-improvers and that trend does not appear to be slowing down.  Today’s baby booming men realize that looking their best is not only more attractive, but necessary in today’s tough job market.  About Face Skin Care has seen a 100% increase in male clientele in the past 3 years.  So, in recognizing this popular trend to help our men stay youthful and healthy looking we are presenting the top 10 services that men seek in our practice.

  1.   Botox:   As Simon Cowell has said: “Yes, I’ve had Botox, but not in an obsessive way. Every guy I know who works in the City has had it; it’s no more unusual than toothpaste.”  In the post-metrosexual movement, Botox is very common among today’s male clients from professionals to retirees.  But men do not want the same look women have.  Male clients want to keep all muscle function and movement in the brow and forehead with a light dose to slightly lessen the pinched look between the eyebrows and the wrinkles in the crow’s feet area.  There is no strikingly different change to the face, just a brighter less drawn appearance.
  2. Exfoliation:  Although shaving keeps the guys exfoliated on the lower face, the upper face and eye area can look dull and waxy even with home exfoliation treatments.  This is because dead skin cells accumulate on the surface of the skin over time, and natural skin cell turnover slows.  Microdermabrasion is one of the most popular treatments among men at About Face Skin Care.  Microdermabrasion is a painless and quick method of gently using aluminum oxide crystals to whisk dead skin cells away and increase circulation to the skin minimizing wrinkles and large pores.
  3. Hair Growth:  Male pattern baldness is a common problem that many guys accept as a norm.  But technology is ramping up efforts to fight this sign of age.  About Face is proud to offer the iGrow Laser Hair System.  The iGrow uses light therapy to stimulate hair follicles.  Touted by physicians on CBS news across America, About Face is excited to offer this home use unit at an amazing price.  Another great option is our 180⁰ Thickening Hair Shampoo and 180⁰Thickening Hair Conditioner.  GREAT DEAL:  Purchase the iGrow Laser Hair System and receive the 180⁰ Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner FREE!!  ($25 value)
  4.  Skin Tightness: Male skin tends to age with less wrinkling, but men are not immune to the skin laxity.  Often guys will notice a more full appearance in the jaw and under the chin area.  180⁰ Facial Contouring will tighten skin and reverse facial aging by 5 to 7 years.  Typically, friends and family think these clients have lost weight or look more rested.  They can’t quite figure out what looks better, but they notice!
  5. Love Handles:  As men age, the midsection can get a little fuller and even with diligent exercise, pockets of fat may deposit and be almost impossible to work off.  The 180⁰ Body Contouring program can help break down unwanted fat areas by shrinking fat cells and creating a more firm abdomen, love handle or any other area of concern.
  6. Razor Burn and Rosacea:  LED Light Therapy is a painless and relaxing way to smooth skin that is prone to irritation from shaving or pesky rosacea or redness.  LED is used to reduce inflammation and increase collagen stimulation so skin not only looks less red and healthier, it looks younger!!
  7. Broken Capillaries on the nose:  Unfortunately some guys tend to develop broken capillaries on the nose and chin.  About Face offers a very quick, easy and low cost way of treating those stubborn “road maps” on the face.  Ask about our capillary treatment programs!
  8. Fillers:  Unfortunately, that fat that settles in the chin and love handles seems to disappear from the” parentheses” of the mouth, causing a very drawn and shadowed look.  Juvederm and Radiesse are not only for women!  We commonly use these products to help add lost volume to the guy’s faces.  This is a quick and easy procedure that can give up to 18 months of results!
  9. Medical Grade SPF:  About Face carries some of the highest quality sunscreen products to be found in the market.  Guys that work outside are HUGE fans of our SPF 50 Sunblock and stock up.  One female client remarked that her husband’s skin looked better after this summer season than ever before.  With melanoma rates on the rise, outdoor workers, golfers and anyone spending time outdoors needs to be protected!!
  10. Medical Grade Products:  About Face Skin Care offers medical grade skin care product that has no girly scent or feminine packaging for our guys.  Male clients are amazed with the quick results they can achieve with a couple of products per day.
