While the thriving anti-aging market offers plenty of options for women, men who want to maintain their youthful looks also have several choices.  

According to Dr. Michael Gartner, a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in Eatontown, New Jersey, of the 12 million Americans that pursue plastic surgery each year, “more and more men are also pursuing cosmetic surgery, specifically liposuction, eyelifts and rhinoplasty.”   

If you’ve decided to take the plunge and turn back the clock, here are just six anti-aging treatments that may help you look forward to your youthful days again:  

Microdermabrasion

This sandblasting technique can reduce the signs of aging by removing fine lines, dead skin cells and even light pigmentation on the surface of the skin. The procedure involves ‘sanding’ the skin with aluminum oxide crystals and suctioning away the cells and debris. Microdermabrasion treatments can be performed in under 30 minutes, and today’s innovative technology means you can enjoy regular treatments with little downtime.  

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are a popular procedure at medispas and cosmetic dermatology centers, and offer many skin rejuvenation benefits. Chemical peels can make skin smoother and stronger, boosting natural collagen levels and making it easier for healthy skin cells to grow. If you have a ruddy complexion or age spots, chemical peels can work wonders for rejuvenating the skin after just one treatment.  

Laser Skin Resurfacing

When you need to balance out your skin tone and reduce fine lines, laser skin resurfacing treatments offer another convenient option in skin rejuvenation. Laser beams are targeted to key areas of the face to strip away the top layer of dead skin and encourage healthy cell growth. While there is some downtime involved with this procedure, the overall effects typically last longer than chemical peels and dermabrasion techniques.  

Laser Photo Rejuvenation

Light therapy and photo rejuvenation are a few other options for facial enhancements, and these can also remove age spots and skin discoloration. From the fractional laser to acne spot removal with the Blue Light procedure, regular sessions of laser photo rejuvenation can help you take years off your appearance.  

Laser Hair Removal

While some men prefer a rugged look, laser hair removal procedures can remove unwanted patches of hair around the neck, back and other parts of the body when shaving and waxing aren’t enough. Laser hair removal procedures can remove unsightly hair for the long-term –making it easier to keep the skin in great shape year round.  

BOTOX

Those frown lines on your forehead can add years to your appearance, and BOTOX injections continue to be the anti-aging solution for millions of men and women who want to remove wrinkles for good. BOTOX treatments are quick and painless – a great choice for squeezing in a treatment over lunch hour or right after work.  

The anti-aging revolution continues for men and women alike, but men are still held back by one major obstacle – fear. Fear of the experience, the outcome and what others think of their choice are all factors involved in the decision for most men who want pursue an anti-aging treatment or other cosmetic procedure. Some of the latest procedures offered by dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons attempt to lower the fear factor by offering comfortable settings, guidance and post-surgery follow up care that makes the entire process simple and smooth.

From facial rejuvenation to laser hair removal, you have several options for looking revitalized, refreshed and younger.
