Men, The Cosmetic Enhancement Industry Isn’t Ignoring You
Just as the craft beer industry automatically defaults toward men, the cosmetic industry tends to lean to women, but that doesn’t mean that men don’t have a place in this world! Cosmetic procedures for men are actually booming right now, and more and more male patients are approaching cosmetic medical spas looking for solutions to their aesthetic problems. These are the procedures that men are most eagerly taking advantage of this year.
CoolSculpting
This non-invasive procedure only takes about an hour, is the equivalent of one intense workout, and in that time freezes and naturally eliminates unwanted fat from the body. It’s essentially controlled cell death that only impacts troublesome fat cells, so men are flocking to this treatment to deal with the trouble spots that exercise hasn’t been able to tackle. Though CoolSculpting isn’t for general weight loss, it’s an excellent way for already in-shape men to contour those stubborn pockets of fat.
Laser Hair Reduction
Does any man really enjoy shaving day after day after day? That 5 o’clock shadow won’t get any thinner with daily shaving, but it will with laser hair reduction. It only takes a few minutes under laser lights to significantly thin or even completely remove hair on any part of the body. Men are most eager to target their faces and chests. The laser hair reduction process is simple and virtually painless, and the results last a very long time. Once hair does grow back, it grows back far thinner, and another round of laser treatment keeps it away even longer. Eventually shaving, ingrown hairs, and razor burn become things of the past.
Botox
Yes, Botox works wonders to help eliminate wrinkles on the face caused from extreme facial expressions, but it has another use that men love. Botox can actually be used to prevent excessive sweating and largely limit the need for deodorants and antiperspirants. Many men head in to receive Botox on the face and decide to treat their underarms as well to block nerve signals leading to the sweat glands. It only takes one single treatment to enjoy benefits for at least six months!
With options and results like these, it’s no wonder that men want a piece of the cosmetic enhancement industry.
