Love the skin you’re in.

A thorough daily skincare routine is the first step to achieving healthier looking skin. Although, due to the hormone testosterone, men’s skin is about 25% thicker than a woman’s, production of sebum (oil) is greater in males and often means that if they are prone to acne, it is often longer lasting than a woman’s. So, a good cleansing regime is essential to helping keep it clear.

If acne is a problem or you’re plagued by a pitted complexion from acne scarring, there are a lot of treatments from lasers to peels that can greatly improve your skin tone and texture. A course of treatments is often required to get the best results but many clients feel that once their skin has cleared, their self-esteem soars! Find out more about our acne treatments here.

Having a higher collagen density than women means that men should look younger for longer, however, unless they are careful with sun protection, they won’t reap the benefits. An SPF 30 worn daily will pay big dividends in the war against wrinkles! Read our Safe Sun Glossary for more information.

Regular facial shaving can cause irritation and redness so a soothing moisturiser will keep skin soft and prevent dryness.

Using a mask suitable for your skin type for 15 minutes once a week is not only a great way of improving your complexion, it’s also a great way of alleviating stress which can be a big cause of skin problems.

Beer bellies & double chins

It goes without saying that if you’re feeling a bit wobbly and out of shape, improving your diet and getting to the gym a bit more, should be your first port of call to toning up. However, if you’ve got stubborn areas of excess fat that won’t shift regardless of your healthy lifestyle, then trying one of our toning and firming treatments could be the perfect solution. Our male clients are impressed with the results they get on their love handles and turkey necks.

Aqualyx fat dissolving injections can be used to streamline your torso, deflate a bulging neck area or smooth away back fat. Click to find out more.

Weightloss and natural ageing can cause the skin to slacken. We often recommend that our gentlemen clients try Dual-Layer Radio-Frequency Thermotherapy to improve firmness and stimulate the collagen (skin’s natural structural scaffolding).

Botox for the Blokes

There’s no longer a stigma attached to men refreshing their looks with wrinkle relaxing injections. In fact, it’s becoming so popular that it’s coined a new expression – Brotox!

Rather than ending up with a frozen, surprised look – which is often the result of bad work – our qualified doctors ensure patients leave the clinic looking naturally smooth skinned and revitalised. Crow’s feet and furrows can be softened to give a less stressed, more youthful look.

For many men leading a busy life rushing from meetings to the gym before heading out socialising, excess sweating (hyperhidrosis) can be a big problem.

Botox injected into the skin affects the signal between the nerve endings and the sweat glands in the dermis and as the Botox binds itself to nerve endings near the injection site, it blocks the release of the chemical which stimulates sweat production. This can be carried out on the palms of hands and the armpits.

laser treatments

Unhappy being Hairy?

Many of our male clients feel cleaner and fresher with less body hair and our laser treatments offer a more permanent, less painful option than waxing. This works by penetrating laser energy deep in the skin tissue to target the hair follicles, the melanin pigment in the follicle absorbs the energy which then damages the structures responsible for hair growth.

The hair falls out over 2-3 weeks after treatment. The number of treatments required varies from person to person but your consultant will be able to advise you.

Besides the above treatments, there are a whole host of aesthetic, non-surgical procedures available for men, all carried out by our highly qualified professional team at Bodyvie. Our consultants are happy to discuss your grooming requirements in confidence and offer advice and treatment plans to suit your needs – from top to toe!
