For years the cosmetic industry as a whole has been trying to get more men interested into what they have to offer. Now obviously guys as a general whole aren’t too interested in beauty solitons, skin-care, and cosmetic procedures, however that is starting to change. While most dermatologists patients are women, the industry is seeing a slight increase in male patrons over the recent years. Now while many men aren’t too familiar with cosmetic procedures, there are plenty of options out there to make your skin look younger or to slow down hair loss. So let’s take a look at five cosmetic procedures that more and more men are getting.
5. The Excel V laser
The Excel V is an advanced cosmetic device that uses lasers to help fix and treat broken capillaries, redness, and rosacea. The laser zaps hemoglobin in blood vessels and then the heat it generates closes off the vessel to so the redness and discoloration go away. It costs around $600 per treatment and results are best seen after three to five treatments.
4. The Clear + Brilliant Treatment
The Clear + Brilliant treatment is another form of laser treatment used by dermatologists. This $600 dollar treatment is used to reduce facial wrinkles and sun spots, giving the skin a healthier and younger appearance. The laser uses heat to microscopically exfoliate those damaged areas.
3. Radiesse
Radiesse is an volumizing filler that doctors inject into your hands. It is used to give your hands a more youthful appearance by reducing the “veiny-ness” of your hands. It’s fairly expensive at $900 per syringe, but one treatment lasts between 9 to 18 months.
2. Botox for Underarms
Botox injections can be used in a variety of other ways, not just to make your face appear younger. Those that suffer from extra sweaty underarms can receive Botox injections in their armpits to effectively reduce sweat. It costs around $1,200 for both arms and the procedure is about 15 minutes long.
1. EndyMed
The EndyMed is a device that uses radio frequencies to help tighten loose skin, specifically around ones jaw line and neck. The procedure tightens and stimulates collagen in the skin and it makes you look much younger. The procedure costs around $450 dollars, but you’ll need anywhere from 1 to 3 treatments to see the best results.
Bonus : The Illumiwave
We also wanted to include the Illumiwave on our list as well, as it is worth mentioning. The Illumiwave is a device that uses low-level light to dramatically slow down the rate of hair loss for men that are going bald or loosing hair. It’s is relatively safe and pain-free and it costs around $100 per treatment.
