Men’s Med Spa Treatments On the Rise in Grand Rapids

Med spa treatments and aesthetic services and were once associated almost exclusively with female patients. But, in the past 2 decades, cosmetic procedures for men have increased more than 30 percent! since the early 2000s. And there are indeed some very compelling reasons for men to consider improving their appearance and looking younger with med spa treatments.

A recent piece published in The Smithsonian reported that men who are considered “handsome” make on up to 13 percent more during their career than men in the job who (to put it nicely) are “looks-challenged”. That informative article went on provide statistics showing that even “hot” quarterbacks earn 12 percent more than quarterbacks in the same league who were perceived as “homely”.

Social media and online dating are some of the primary motivators for men to seek med spa treatments. Looking youthful on LinkedIn profiles, appearing attractive on dating websites, and feeling self-confident in “selfies” on Facebook and Instagram, are now part of daily life for many men. The so called “Zoom Effect” has also made men more aware of their appearance due to seeing themselves “close up” in videos during online meetings.

In this article we discuss most popular men’s med spa treatments designed specifically for the male body and skin that are offered at SpaMedica in Grand Rapids.

Men’s Med Spa Treatment: Laser Hair Removal

The male hormone testosterone causes men to grow thicker, courser hair than women, on virtually every part of the body. And excess hair between the eyebrows (“unibrow”), on the cheeks, toes, hands, back, arms can be unsightly.

Men’s permanent laser hair removal at SpaMedica in the Grand Rapids area destroys the hair follicle itself with thermal energy – so that it cannot grow back. And, unlike many other types of lasers, Cynosure Icon laser hair reduction is safe for most skin types, including darker skin tones.

Men’s Med Spa Treatment: Facials for Male Skin

Men and women’s skin is very different – so facials need to be customized for a man’s unique skin. The male hormone testosterone is responsible for making men’s top layer of skin (dermis) much thicker than a woman’s skin. Testosterone also causes men’s sebaceous (oil) glands more active with pore-clogging sebum – making men more prone to breakouts than women – especially on the back.

At SpaMedica in the Grand Rapids area, our men’s skincare experts customize each man’s facial with products that are specifically designed to address a man’s unique skin care needs. Our advanced men’s facials include exfoliation, extraction, customized men’s serums, and massage into a single men’s facial treatment for smooth, sexy, skin.

Men’s Med Spa Treatments: Laser & Radiofrequency (RF) Anti-Aging

SpaMedica in Grand Rapids has invested in the newest, state-of-the-art skin resurfacing and rejuvenating technologies. These can treat and eliminate sun damage, pigmentation, lines and wrinkles, acne scars, and more. Our most popular laser and RF skin treatments for men include the IPL Photofacial and the revolutionary new Morpheus8 RF microneedling.

Both IPL men’s laser Photofacials and Morpheus8 RF microneedling stimulate the body’s natural production of new collagen and elastin – the building blocks of strong, smooth, firm, elastic youthful skin.

At SpaMedica in the Grand Rapids these men’s med spa treatments can tighten the face and neck, in addition to resurfacing scars, reducing wrinkles, and eliminating age spots, redness and pigmentation.

Men’s Med Spa Treatments: Fat Loss & Muscle Building

For men who have stubborn areas of fat that diet and exercise just won’t touch SpaMedica GR in Grand Rapids offers revolutionary new BodyFX and Evolve TRIM/TITE non-invasive, non-surgical men’s fat loss and skin tightening treatments.

BodyFX and Evolve permanently destroy unwanted fat cells on a man’s body, while also contracting and tightening the skin for improved body contours. Both men’s treatments are ideal for fat loss in most areas of a man’s body including the abs (belly), back, “love handles” (flanks), and thighs.

Even more exciting is the addition of Evolve TONE – a new, state-of-the-art non-surgical treatment that builds, strengthens, and tones muscles – to enhance and define the shape of a man’s body without exercise.

Evolve TONE applies electrical pulses that stimulate thousands of muscle contractions in the treated area – far more than could ever be achieved by exercise – to improve muscle tone and strength in as little as just 2 weeks.

Men’s Injectables: Botox, Facial Fillers & Kybella

Facial injectables – such as Botox, Juvéderm and other dermal fillers – used to be almost exclusively used by women to look younger. However, more and more men are now turning to injectables to turn back the clock.

In fact, Botox (and other Botulinum injections) are the number one men’s med spa treatment, with 473,354 injections administered in 2019 alone — a 403% increase over the year 2000, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).

Men’s facial fillers (such as Juvéderm) can help men look younger and more attractive – without looking like they’ve “had work done”. Friends, bosses, coworkers and potential partners simply see a youthful and refreshed looking version of you!

According to recent studies, almost 50 percent of adult men are dissatisfied with the appearance of a double chins. Many men resort to using facial hair or clothing to cleverly conceal the “submental fat” under their chin. But men’s Kybella injections “dissolve” the fat cells in the double chin. The destroyed fat cells under the chin are slowly and permanently removed by the body’s natural elimination processes.
