Skin Care Treatments for the Man on the Go

In recent years, technology for cosmetic treatments has become so extensive that individuals can really pick and chose a treatment that perfectly suits their lifestyle and budget.  While the majority of our cosmetic patients are women, we have definitely found that men are becoming more interested in aesthetic treatments because now they are able to find exactly what they are looking for: a non-surgical, no-downtime procedure with gradual results and little to no pain.

These days, men are caring more and more about their appearance as they hit the gym, hair salon and even nail salon!  Here at the Lupo Center, we are fully equipped to tackle the majority of men’s skin care needs.  From injectables and skin tightening to skin resurfacing and laser hair removal, we are able to help men look more rested and refreshed while helping them gain more self-confidence. Here are some of the treatments that men find most beneficial to meet their needs:

Injectables

Injectables: Age, sun exposure and lifestyle can all take a toll on our skin, but luckily we can turn to Botox and fillers for an easy fix.  Both types of injectables have a variety of benefits on their own, but together they can really improve pre-mature aging.  Botox works to relax the muscles that cause wrinkles, while fillers, such as Juvederm, Juvederm Voluma, Radiesse, Restylane and Sculptra, help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, folds and volume loss.  All injectable treatments are quick and easy with very subtle results.  Our doctors use the smallest needles available as well as numbing cream on the spot of the injection so that treatments are as pain-free as possible.

Skin Tightening and Body Contouring

Skin Tightening and Body Contouring:  Men can spend hours and hours at the gym but still find that some areas of concern cannot be fixed with just a workout.  Today, men can find help with our skin tightening and body contouring devices.  For skin tightening, we offer Exilis Elite and Ulthera to tighten, tone and lift loose skin on most parts of the body including the jowls, neck, eyebrows, abdomen, arms and thighs.  To help eliminate unwanted fat and contour the body, we offer Exilis, Vanquish, VASER Shape or SmoothShapes.  All six devices give patients different options for a fast and effective way to improve those hard to fix areas when diet and exercise alone are not working.

Skin Resurfacing

Skin Resurfacing: Men are typically more lax than women when it comes to sun protection; therefore, they have more signs of premature aging and sun damage.  Our skin resurfacing devices help to treat texture, discoloration, brown spots, fine lines, redness and pores leaving patients with a smoother complexion and a more youthful glow.  Our no-downtime skin resurfacing devices include Laser Genesis, Excel V, IPL and Clear+Brilliant.

Laser Hair Removal

Laser Hair Removal: Let’s face it… no man enjoys shaving, waxing or plucking!  One of the most practical luxuries you can give yourself is laser hair removal.  Laser hair removal not only helps to reduce excessive body hair but also eliminates painful ingrown hair.

Feel More Comfortable in Your Skin with Exilis®

While kids are excited for summer beach trips, not all of us are as eager to show off our bodies in a swimsuit or summer clothes. Whether you’re embarrassed about the way your arms look in a tank top or have difficulty zipping up your favorite sundress, we want to help you feel more confident this summer by introducing you to a skin-tightening treatment called Exilis®.

While skin-tightening technology has been available at the Lupo Center for Aesthetic & General Dermatology since 2004, our patients have seen drastic changes to their bodies since introducing Exilis® into our practice in 2010. BTL’s Exilis offers a revolutionary non-invasive form of treatment for the reduction of wrinkles and for the reshaping of targeted fat deposits, with visible results often after the first session. It is used in areas such as jowls, neck, eyebrows and especially the abdomen. Exilis® treatments can even postpone or eliminate the need for invasive surgery. Exilis® was awarded “Best Skin Tightening Device” in the U.S. market during the 2012 The Aesthetic Show in Las Vegas.

Exilis® is a monopolar radiofrequency device that causes both shrinking of loose tissue immediately, as well as long term collagen production that lifts and tightens loose skin over time. Exilis® is recommended for any patient between the ages of 25 and 70+ who desires cosmetic improvement, particularly those areas that show the signs of aging, unhealthy life style and have not responded to other treatment options.

The recommended course of treatment is generally four to six sessions, one every two weeks, and there is no downtime after the treatment.  Exilis® has been tested in clinical studies and proven to be safe and effective, and there have been no significant side effects reported with the treatment.

Dr. Lupo has been interviewed on WWLTV’s “Wrinkle Free Friday” segment where she discussed the Exilis treatment and its benefits.  To view the news segments, click on the links below:
