Treatments for Men

Accordingly, a skincare plan for men must meet his unique needs, especially if the goal is simply to look younger and more virile.

Popular areas of the body that are safely and effectively treated at our cosmetic and medical dermatology practice include the face, neck, back, and chest.

Skin Resurfacing for a Rejuvenated Appearance

Non-ablative fractionated laser procedures have become very popular with men in recent years because they safely improve skin tone and texture by doing the following:

• Shrinking large pores
• Reducing brown spots and freckles
• Fading the appearance of scars
• Refreshing skin tone and overall appearance

Body Contouring with Liposuction

Liposuction is a popular choice among men to help contour their bodies more precisely while still achieving results that don’t look like the patient has had work done. Common areas for fat reduction include the abdomen, love handles, lower back, neck, and under the chin. However, it is a not a solution for a beer belly.

Men who suffer from gynecomastia, or “man boobs,” can also benefit from liposuction, especially when combined with a radiofrequency skin tightening treatment such as ThermiTight, to achieve a more defined chest.

Non-Surgical Body Contouring with CoolSculpting

The fat-freezing process of CoolSculpting is an excellent non-surgical procedure that is often used differently for men than it is for women. Since men tend to carry fat in more localized areas than women do, CoolSculpting is often a simple procedure and experience for men. For men with gynecomastia due to excess fat and not to a glandular condition, a fat freezing treatment is effective.

Abs and love handles are two other areas that CoolSculpting effectively addresses. A one-hour session can shrink excess fat from these areas for a desirable body contour. Best of all CoolSculpting is a non-invasive method for achieving a more svelte figure without anyone knowing that you have had work done. We often combine it with the Vanquish procedure for a deeper removal of fat to enhance results.

In addition to freezing unwanted fat with CoolSculpting, Cooltone is a newly FDA-approved procedure that defines muscles using electromagnetic muscle stimulation. It can tone, firm, and strengthen the muscles of the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs.

Treatment for Vein Conditions

Cosmetic Laser Dermatology is proud to be an industry leader in treating problem veins on the face or legs, thanks to founder Dr. Mitchel Goldman’s documented expertise and pioneering research in vein therapy. Men who wish to reduce varicose veins or smaller spider veins on their face or legs can choose from a variety of laser procedures, some of which Dr. Goldman and his team have helped develop:

• CTEV (Intravascular Laser)
• Nd:YAG Laser Treatment
• Pulsed Dye Lasers (PDL)
• Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)

Each laser therapy is safe and effective for consistent and usually permanent erasure of unsightly veins.

Sclerotherapy is another vein treatment option that Dr. Goldman is particularly skilled at administering; it is more commonly used for varicose veins, but it can be effective on smaller facial veins, as well. Dr. Goldman has published numerous textbooks and medical articles on both laser vein treatments and sclerotherapy. He also regularly conducts lectures on treatments for vascular conditions for dermatologists and other skin care professionals.

Help Your Skin – Men’s Skin Care At Home

Men’s skincare has changed in recent years in order to meet the demands of more men showing concern about their skin than previous generations have. For many, gone are the days of low-maintenance skin care – i.e. no more than a daily wash and shave.

Keeping a daily maintenance routine doesn’t have to be overly-complicated. It starts with protecting your skin from the sun by applying SPF 30+ sunscreen. Also, examine your skin once or twice a month for unusual changes.

Here are several other tips that we suggest:

• Wash your face with oil-free soaps
• Wash your face after exercising
• Use moisturizing creams with antioxidants and pigment minimizing agents day and night
• Shave with, not against, hair growth with moisturizing shave cream
