Skin Care for Men

Men Don’t Care for Their Skin—and It Costs Them*

Many men treat their skin with less care than they treat their car. You might see them out there all day, washing, waxing, and detailing their car. The time they spend with the clay bar alone is more time than they’ll dedicate to caring for their skin.

But your skin is like a car in one important respect: if you don’t care for it, it will look bad, perform poorly, and fail early. The most dramatic demonstration of this is in skin cancer rates. Men are diagnosed with skin cancer about 33% more than women are, and they are about twice as likely to die of skin cancer.

It’s important to take care of your skin to ensure it’s healthy, attractive, and functional.

Advanced Facials—A Tune-Up for Your Skin*

Facials are low-impact interventions for your skin. They remove dead skin cells, provide nutrients, and stimulate your skin to produce new and better skin. If you are experiencing a lot of fine wrinkles and dull, sun-damaged skin, a facial can help you. Your skin will shine—it will look younger and healthier.

But the benefits aren’t just in your appearance. A facial makes your skin functionally better. It will be more flexible and better prepared to handle the challenges of dealing with environmental toxins that bombard it constantly.

Chemical Peels and Other Rebuilds*

But sometimes your skin needs more than just a tune-up. It needs to be broken down and rebuilt. That’s where chemical peels and fractional laser peels come in—they remove the skin more aggressively to stimulate your body to utilize its natural rejuvenating abilities.

Fractional laser resurfacing is a unique approach to stimulating your skin’s rejuvenation ability. It penetrates fairly deep into the skin—down to the layer of your skin that produces new skin cells—but only does it in certain places. These cylinders ignite your body’s healing response, but leaves your skin largely intact so it’s not especially vulnerable to sun or infection. This healing response can reduce the appearance of acne scars, uneven skin tone, and more in addition to the signs of facial aging.

Chemical peels can be as mild or as severe as you need to remove the damaged layers of skin and allow your body to build new, healthy skin. Many, many skin problems can be reduced with chemical peels, including:

• Acne and acne scars
• Sun spots and age spots
• Uneven skin color
• Dull skin
• Saggy skin
• Fine lines and wrinkles

If you need help with any or all of these concerns, a chemical peel might be right for you.
