Laser Hair Removal
Generally speaking, men have darker and coarser hair than that present on the fairer sex due to hormones like testosterone. Grooming, shaving and “manscaping” can be a tedious and time-consuming task, and is often harsh on the skin. Laser hair removal works to eliminate unwanted hair on the face, neck and body, often with permanent reduction or elimination observed by our male patients. This can save you time during your morning routine, or eliminate a hairy back before it’s time to hit the beach.
Skin Resurfacing With Clear & Brilliant Or Fraxel
While men’s skin is thicker than women’s and contains a higher collagen density ratio, both men and women will start to lose about one percent of their collagen each year after their 30th birthday. Generally speaking, women are likely to display physical signs of aging faster, but factors like sun exposure and genetics can quickly speed up the process for men.
Laser skin resurfacing is a treatment in which heat-controlled energy is utilized to improve the overall appearance of the skin, reducing lines, wrinkles and blemishes by removing the outer layers of the skin. The strength of the lasers is typically broken into two categories; ablative, which removes exterior layers of the skin and provides more drastic improvements, or nonablative, which stimulates natural collagen production in the skin without removing outer layers.
Body Contouring
Smartlipo, or laser lipolysis, is a minimally-invasive, in-office liposuction procedure that works to strategically target and melt stubborn fat cells from within using controlled heat. Once liquefied, the fat is gently extracted through a suction device. Unlike traditional liposuction techniques, laser lipolysis actually works to tighten skin around the treatment area and stimulate natural collagen-production, so you can achieve a more defined, chiseled shape while simultaneously firming and smoothing your skin.
If Smartlipo isn’t for you, we also offer incredibly effective, non-invasive treatments to remove fat permanently, including New York’s best Coolsculpting and Sculpsure clinics. Coolsculpt works by freezing fat, Sculpsure just the opposite (it melts fat). Both have proven to be safe and comfortable, with minimal affect to your daily schedule. No surgery needed.

IPL Photofacial
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) photofacials are laser treatments designed to transform pigment issues present on the skin and restore a more radiant complexion. This treatment is frequently utilized to treat concerns like sun spots, red splotches, age spots or skin conditions like rosacea- which men are at a higher risk of developing. This treatment emits multiple wavelengths of light energy beneath the skin to target pigment-producing cells, destroying hyperactive melanin-producing cells and dispersing the uneven pigment.

We know you’re busy, so we keep our laser treatments short. Depending on the treatment, laser sessions last somewhere between 30 minutes to one hour. We use a local anesthetic or topical numbing agent so you can finish your treatment quickly and get back to your busy life.
With the exception of Smartlipo, which only requires a single session, most laser treatments for the skin and hair require a series of three and six sessions over the course of several weeks or months to achieve optimal results. That’s not to say you won’t experience benefits from one treatment. You will! But optimal results take several treatments to appear.
Most of our laser treatments are minimally or non-invasive. However, you may experience minor bruising, redness, or discomfort in the days following your procedure.

The duration of your results depends on a number of factor, such as:
If ablative lasers are used, it may require a few weeks or months for the skin to fully display the results. However, you’ll likely notice an immediate visible improvement to your skin’s appearance and quality. And the results will last for years to come.
If a non-ablative laser is used for your treatment, the results will typically progress over time following the recommended number of treatment sessions. While not as immediate and drastic as the results of ablative lasers, you’ll start to see more and more improvements to your skin’s texture and pigment with each treatment.
Aftercare for your skin is of the utmost importance when it comes to maintaining your refreshed appearance. Treated areas will be highly sensitive to sun exposure for a year following your treatment, so you’ll need to be proactive about sun care to ensure your skin is protected and to lessen the risk of reversing your results.
