IT may come as a surprise to some but skincare is for men too.
I have been in this industry long enough to witness the beautiful reality that skincare is also for men. In fact, a lot of our male clients (my husband included) have been fans of these skin treatments that we have at the spa. And that is my cue to talk about these specials.
Let’s break the stereotype and get into “pamper me(n)” mode.
When your man needs ‘a lift,’ we recommend our PDO Thread lift
In my previous columns, we have already established the fact that we all age and as we do, our facial support structure weakens and we begin to lose a lot of facial volume. And of course, there’s gravity paired with aging, that pulls the facial structures down, thus resulting to the development of jowling, periorbital hollowness, laugh lines as well as marionette lines.
Commonly known as PDO threads or a thread facelift, this non-surgical and non-invasive thread lift is an effective way to lift loose skin without having the need for surgery. It is a procedure in which threads are inserted just below the surface of the skin in order to lift and strategically reposition the skin. PDO stands for Polydioxanone, which is a common chemical compound that has been used in surgical settings for years.
At Iskin Beverly Hills and MiSkin MedSpa, we use PDO threads because they are dissolvable and they are naturally absorbed by your body a few months following your PDO Thread lift. PDO threads can address most areas of the face such as the, jowls, cheeks, neck, jaw line, eyebrows, areas under the eyes and around the nose, crow’s feet, and marionette lines. They can also be used to lift the tip of the nose as well as to give the nose an overall smoother and straighter appearance with the thread lift nose job.
I highly recommend this treatment. It is a hit among our clients, especially the men. Even my husband loved it when he had it done at the spa a couple of months ago.
When your man wants to ‘keep it tight,’ there is Skin Tightening RF
I know from experience that there will come a time when men would want (need) some skin tightening in all the right areas. And if that sounds like your guy, he is going to LOVE our Skin Tightening RF. You’re welcome!
Radiofrequency (RF) treatment is an aesthetic technique that uses RF energy to heat tissue and stimulate collagen production in order to reduce the appearance of fine lines and loose skin. It tightens sagging skin along the jawline and reduces double chin and fat over the lower cheeks and jaw line. This gives definition to the lower face and produces an oval shape.
Basically, Skin Tightening RF is all about stimulating our own collagen. Collagen, which gives our skin its strength and elasticity, diminishes because of aging and exposure to factors such as smoking and UV light. What makes RF a great option is that it helps boost oxygen levels in the skin. This results to a more contoured face, delays aging signs, and in effect, prevents one from getting surgery prematurely. In a nutshell, the longer you delay aging signs, the better your skin looks and the less your need is for “a nip and a tuck.”
Furthermore, radiofrequency helps in the removal of the fat and tightening the skin. Heating the deep layers of the face through the use of radio waves makes the skin firmer and smoother, and ultimately helps in eliminating jowls and tighten the jaw line. As a result, a sculpted V-shape face is achieved. This procedure is very famous among celebrities who prefer non-surgical and non-invasive treatments. Most of them would even have the treatment done before going to events.
A signature facial with deep exfoliation and European massage. Need I say more?
I got you at European massage, didn’t I? Well, that and a great number of satisfied clients might just convince you that no other gift would say “Best.Dad.Ever.,” than our Signature Men’s Facial. Our facials have always been a favorite among our clients and celebrity dads Dingdong Avanzado, Nonito Donaire and many others. It does so much for the skin such as hydrating the skin, firming, brightening, plumping and giving you clear complexion. It also reduces signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles and enlarged pores. It is so invigorating that your dad or your husband may actually do them as often (or more) than you do. AND of course, we welcome that. The more, the merrier!
The time has come to break the stereotype that only women –– need–– skincare. And it may actually be a great time to try something different and pamper your man in ways we know more about.
