Why Men are Surprisingly Into the HydraFacial

The Many Benefits of Receiving a HydraFacial for Men

Many people may falsely believe that facials and skincare products are designed specifically for women. However, your skin is the largest organ in your body and maintaining its health is important for all genders and ages.

Why is Skin Care Important for Men?

Hydration is the most important factor for maintaining younger, more attractive looking skin. With aging comes slowed cell renewal and testosterone production that can cause the skin to become dry, flaky, and itchy, further exacerbating the formation of lines and wrinkles. Looking years older than your actual age can negatively affect your career and personal life. Additionally, shaving the face can further strip the skin of natural oils, leading to redness and irritation. According to dermatologists and skin health experts, keeping the skin hydrated is key to combating these negative effects of aging. In addition, too much testosterone, sweating, and stress can cause increased oil production leading to enlarged pores, breakouts, and blackheads. Clearing these blemishes can improve one’s appearance and help boost confidence. Contrary to popular belief, moisturizing can help prevent this excess skin oiliness that leads to congested pores. When the skin becomes dehydrated, the oil glands go into overdrive trying to compensate for the lack of moisture. Once hydration is restored, sebum (or oil) production slows down over time revealing clearer skin. In order to combat these men’s skincare issues, give your skin the moisture it so desperately needs with a treatment meant to hydrate deep into the skin. The HydraFacial was created to deliver the skin-nourishing benefits of hydration straight into the skin’s pores to provide a gentle treatment that works for all of your men’s skincare needs. Continue reading to learn why the HydraFacial is growing in popularity among men.

What is a HydraFacial?

The HydraFacial is an effective skin treatment that immediately delivers long-term hydration and pore clarifying without causing irritation. In one session, the treatment is able to remove dead skin cells and extract impurities, while also cleansing and moisturizing the skin.

How Treatment Works

The HydraFacial treatment uses a specially designed and patented Vortex-Fusion technology to painlessly exfoliate, extract, and hydrate the skin. The spiral shape of the Tip of the HydroPeels tool creates a “vortex effect” to powerfully remove bacteria, excess oil, and sweat while simultaneously moisturizing the skin with serums. If you’re tired of your partner digging out your blackheads and impurities with their sharp nails, the HydraFacial is a more hygenic and painless alternative.

What Skin Concerns Does the HydraFacial Treat?

The HydraFacial was created to meet all of your skincare needs as a man. It can treat a variety of common skin conditions and concerns that men experience including:

Fine lines and wrinkles
Oily and congested skin
Textured skin
Enlarged pores
Dull skin tone
Loose and sagging skin

Benefits of the HydraFacial for Men

The HydraFacial treatment for men provides many benefits to restore hydration, improve texture, and cleanse pores. A deep exfoliation and extraction makes the HydraFacial effective for treating acne and eliminating blackheads. The moisturizers, peptides, and antioxidants it delivers to the top layers of the skin help to restore a bright, fresh appearance. After treatment, you will notice a more even skin tone and visible anti-aging results, giving you a youthful and energized appearance.

3 Ways to Customize Your HydraFacial Treatment

In addition to the HydraFacial treatment, your skincare specialist can add enhancements to treat any specific skin concerns that may need extra attention. For example, men tend to have more pigmentation spots, larger pores, and oilier skin than women due to excess sweating, testosterone, and time spent in the sun. To personalize your HydraFacial, we recommend adding boosters, lymphatic therapy, and/or LED light therapy based on your individual concerns.

1. HydraFacial Boosters

In case your skin needs even more attention, you can add a booster to your HydraFacial. Each booster is made with targeted ingredients that enhance the treatment and provide extra nourishment. HydraFacial has even collaborated with notable skincare brand, ZO Skin Health, to create two boosters that can be added to your HydraFacial service for best results.

ZO Brightalive Booster

Are you bothered by brown spots or uneven skin tone caused by all of the time you spend outdoors exposed to UV rays? The ZO Brightalive Booster can treat these issues by preventing new pigmentation formation and restoring moisture content. Using a unique blend of skin brighteners, the Brightalive Booster is able to block the production of pigmentation. Meanwhile, glycerin, a popular hydrating agent, restores moisture to the skin.

ZO Rozatrol Booster

ZO Rozatrol Booster is specially formulated for men who exhibit signs of red, irritation-prone skin due to shaving or skin conditions. As well as detoxification, it can replenish hydration to promote healthy skin barrier function, therefore, protecting the skin from irritation. The formula contains key ingredients such as lactose to minimize inflammation, as well as rosa canina extract to control sebum production and minimize pore size. If you are unsure which booster is right for your skin type, take the HydraFacial Skin Health Assessment for recommendations based on your skin needs and goals.

2. Lymphatic Therapy

The lymphatic system plays a vital role in skin health since it is in charge of removing waste and toxins, such as sodium and alcohol, from the body. From time to time it can become obstructed, causing fluid to build up in the system. Lymphatic drainage can help to expel this build up by facilitating the movement of lymph fluids, thus pushing out the toxins via the lymph nodes. The process improves skin quality by boosting circulation and reducing inflammation. Add Lymphatic Therapy to your HydraFacial treatment to brighten and smooth your complexion.

3. LED Light Therapy

LED light therapy is an excellent way to complete your HydraFacial. The blue light of LEDs is able to target and disrupt the infectious and inflammatory p. acnes bacteria, thereby improving the appearance of oily and congested skin. If you’re looking to boost collagen production and soothe red or irritated skin, then red LED light will work great for you. Your skincare specialist will be able to determine which form of light therapy is best for you.

Perk Treatments by HydraFacial

HydraFacial offers Perk treatments that can be performed in addition to your HydraFacial or as a standalone treatment. Currently, HydraFacial provides Perk brand eye and lip treatments for specific issues.

Eye Perk Treatment

Formulated to treat eye concerns, the Perk eye therapy is a must-have for men struggling with discolored, tired-looking under eyes. A number of key ingredients support collagen health, which firms the skin and reduces under eye bags. The two ingredients include AldavineTM 5X and Phytomoist to minimize puffiness and dark circles as well as maintain moisture over time.

Lip Perk Treatment

Many men commonly forget the importance of keeping their lips hydrated. Trust us, no woman wants to kiss dry, flaky lips. Even more, dry lips can lead to dreadful cold sores and blisters. Fortunately, the Perk lip treatment gently exfoliates and hydrates the lip area to reveal smooth lips. Vitamins A, C, and E as well as aloe barbadensis leaf extract provide hydration benefits and antioxidant properties to reduce flaking and restore smoothness.

The Ultimate Anti-Aging Treatment For Men

Aging has long been accepted as an inevitable aspect of life that can’t be prevented. However, recent medical discoveries have revealed promising ways to slow down the process. Medically speaking, aging is defined as the physiological changes in the body that lead to a decline of biological functions and the ability to adapt to metabolic stress. Aging in men, also known as aging male syndrome, can lead to a variety of symptoms including weight gain and declining sexual health, as well as loss of bone, muscle, hair, and more. In the past, aging has been viewed as inevitable, and although it still is, medical developments have revealed a way to treat it in order to prolong a healthy, active life. This allows us to delay and lessen many health conditions and burdens that the elderly experience. The medical language of longevity centers around life-span, however, we at Lowcountry Male value healthspan, or the period of life spent in good health. As a result, we have reviewed the latest medical research in order to come up with a systematic plan to retain and regain youthful vigor and vitality. Our program includes three different therapies that can be performed individually or combined to create the ultimate anti-aging treatment for men including, thymic rejuvenation, rapamycin inhibition, and senolytic therapy. Continue reading to learn more about how each form of therapy works, as well as the anti-aging benefits you could receive in order to experience the fullness of life for as long as possible!

1. Thymic Rejuvenation

As aging occurs, the immune system becomes slower to respond to foreign substances in the body such as bacteria, viruses, toxins, and cancer cells which eventually lead to inflammation, increased risk of sickness, and slower healing. So what is the cause of this decline of the immune system? As we age, the thymus, which is the gland responsible for producing T cells, begins to lose function. T cells are a part of the immune system that play an integral role in attacking antigens and foreign particles. With the thymus losing function and producing less and less T cells, our immune system begins to deteriorate. The goal of Thymic Rejuvenation therapy is to prevent and reverse the gradual immune deterioration that comes with age.

How it Works

Thymic Rejuvenation at Lowcountry Male has been constructed on findings from a clinical trial known as the TRIIM study (Thymic Regeneration, Immunorestoration and Insulin Mitigation) which resulted in participants shedding 2 years off of their biological age, according to the GrimAge predictor model (a method of analyzing a subject’s DNA to track a person’s biological age vs their chronological age). Based on what was proven to be effective in this study, our Thymic Rejuvenation package uses a combination of CJC/ipamorelin peptides and prescription metformin to revitalize the thymus.

CJC/Ipamorelin Peptides

CJC/Ipamorelin is a peptide that produces and stimulates the release of human growth hormone (HGH). Naturally, our levels of GH decline as we age, beginning as early as 20 years old. CJC/Ipamorelin is used to reverse this and increase GH levels, which in turn restore the thymus, as well as have the added benefit of increased muscle growth and fat loss.

Prescription Metformin

In addition to peptide therapy, Metformin is also used in anti-aging regimens for its myriad of health benefits. The drug improves insulin sensitivity and has typically been used to treat clinical diabetes. Metformin increases the levels of a cell enzyme called AMPK, which is able to signal cells to consume stored fat in order to promote weight loss. Strong evidence suggests that due to its protective effects and AMPK-activating properties, metformin can help prevent cancer, cardiovascular disease, obesity, and even neurodegenerative disorders. CJC/Ipamorelin and metformin used in conjunction, in addition to a custom combination of whole body supplements, are able to help restore the thymus and has proven to be an effective anti-aging treatment for men.

Benefits of Thymic Rejuvenation

Our Thymic Rejuvenation program will result in increased cellular repair and recovery, improved immune function, and decreased inflammation. You can also expect to see a decrease in body fat, fuller and healthier hair, plus improved skin. Feeling more energized throughout the day and getting a better night’s sleep are additional benefits you can look forward to after treatment.

2. Rapamycin Inhibition

Target of Rapamycin (TOR) is a cellular protein that regulates and drives cellular growth and aging. As we age, TOR levels increase and lead to the production of senescent cells, which are dysfunctional, pro-inflammatory “zombie” cells. The accumulation of these cells in the body leads to inflammation, which is the main cause of many age-related chronic diseases. However, a class of medications known as rapalogs are able to combat these cells and effectively produce an anti-aging effect.

How it Works

Rapalogs are known to inhibit TOR, thereby slowing the body’s creation of the senescent cells that cause aging. Rapalogs also simulate the effects of severe caloric restriction, a state that is able to extend lifespan, but can be difficult to achieve on a regular basis. At Lowcountry Male, we offer Ramamycin, the current gold standard in anti-aging medicine. We follow a protocol based on the research of Dr. Blagosklonny and developed by Dr. Alan Green, two knowledgeable leaders in the field of anti-aging. Our medical professionals will prescribe you with a low dose of rapamycin that should be taken once a week in order to maximize benefits and minimize potential side effects.

Benefits of Rapamycin Inhibition

Ramamycin and the consequential TOR inhibition can lead to many benefits including improved immune health, improved cardiac function, and decreased atherosclerosis. In addition, the benefits of improved metabolic health and insulin sensitivity can lead to weight loss. Another benefit is decreased inflammation and arthritis and improved bone and periodontal health. The medication may even delay cognitive decline, as well as certain types of cancer.

3. Senolytic Therapy

While Rapamycin Inhibition decreases the development of senescent cells, senolytic therapy eliminates the cells that are already senescent. Since these harmful cells produce factors that damage and kill nearby healthy cells, it is vital to eliminate them in order to prevent aging and increase your lifespan.

How it Works

Senolytics are able to selectively eliminate the harmful senescent cells, while leaving the healthy cells intact. Animal studies have even shown that treatment with senolytics increased lifespan by 36%, without increasing the health complications associated with end of life. This showed that semolytics have the ability to not only prolong lifespan, but healthspan as well.

Benefits of Senolytic Therapy

Health benefits of reducing senescent cells include improved cardiac and vascular function, decreased osteoporosis and arthritis, as well as arrest (or even reverse) of age-related neurodegeneration. Senolytic Therapy could also potentially delay the onset of cancer through the elimination of damaged and possibly oncogenic cells. Additional benefits include improved exercise endurance and decreased frailty, as well as enhanced appearance of hair and skin.
