Top 3 noninvasive cosmetic treatments for men
These days, more and more men are turning to dermal fillers, microneedling, and other cosmetic treatments to help with acne, acne scarring, fine lines, wrinkles, and more. And why not? Especially when you can get natural results with minimal downtime.
When it comes to cosmetic treatments for men, there are also plenty of noninvasive options to choose from to help you look and feel your best. Check out our top three!
Radiofrequency (RF) Microneedling
RF Microneedling checks all the boxes: safe and effective for ALL skin tones and types, requires no social downtime, and delivers long-lasting and natural results. Plus, this procedure can be used as a preventative or corrective measure for acne scarring, uneven skin texture, wrinkles, fine lines, and more.
“RF microneedling is a great treatment for someone who’s interested in tackling a wide range of concerns. I love this treatment to help create great results for patients while prioritizing comfort,” says Annie Holliday, advanced licensed laser technician, Gundersen Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics.
How does it work? By combining microneedling and radiofrequency energy, RF microneedling stimulates natural production of collagen and elastin that tighten and lift the skin. The radiofrequency energy gently heats your skin to stimulate additional collagen production to deliver a smoother complexion with improved texture.
BroadBand Light (BBL) with HERO technology
BBL with HERO technology is an intense pulsed light therapy that uses heat and energy light designed to target almost anywhere on your body. This noninvasive procedure gently stimulates collagen production, and can quickly and painlessly treat your face, neck, chest, arms, legs and more.
“BBL laser treatments are a great way to treat those skin concerns without using an invasive method. BBL Hero also helps with skin texture,” says Lisa Green, advanced licensed laser technician, Gundersen Dermatology. “It’s a great way to maintain that youthfulness in the skin!”
The procedure itself doesn’t require any social downtime, other than staying out of the sun for seven to 14 days afterward. It’s also comfortable! While you may feel a sense of warmth coming from the light that’s used during the treatment, it’s generally tolerated without the need for any numbing cream.
Here’s an overview of a few ways BBL HERO can treat complexion issues:
- Stimulating collagen to reduce signs of aging
- Reducing visibility of acne scarring and age spots
- Correcting sun damage
- Improving acne
- Tightening skin
- And much more
HydraFacials
Designed for all skin types, HydraFacials are a versatile option that improves and minimizes many skin conditions, including acne, oily skin, and fine lines and wrinkles.
“The versatility of a HydraFacial makes it one of my favorite treatments to perform,” says Gundersen medical skincare technician Kaylee Fox, Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics. “With a specialized booster formula, we can treat almost every skin condition: fine lines, deeper wrinkles, and dull or congested skin. Everyone deserves that ‘HydraFacial glow!’”
A HydraFacial is a three-step complexion treatment: First, it cleanses and exfoliates; second, it extracts impurities; and third, it hydrates your skin – with the option to add a booster to help target your skin’s specific needs, including:
- Brighten
- Firm
- Restore
- Smooth
- Refine
- Calm
- Clarify
- Hydrate
“HydraFacials are a great way to help clear out congested pores and hair follicles, especially for men and women who are prone to ingrown hairs,” says Olivia Caylor, Gundersen medical skincare technician, Dermatology. “This is a great treatment to help maintain healthy skin year-round with no down time.”
