Women aren’t the only ones looking for non-surgical methods of slowing aging and improving their appearance. Yes, we call it “distinguished” when men display fine lines, but men experience ageism and insecurities too. Valley Medical Weight Loss and Med Spa is here to help everyone enhance their appearance, boost their confidence, and look as good as they feel.
Below are our top 5 med spa treatments for men!
What is a med spa?
A medical spa isn’t your average spa. Our focus is on aesthetic appearance, not massage or relaxation. Although we advocate for pampering, we don’t offer standard spa treatments such as manicures, pedicures, or spa facials. Our treatments are rejuvenating and restorative. This includes FDA-approved aesthetic modalities that are scientifically proven to deliver targeted anti-aging results.
As a med spa, our physician or nurse practitioner completes a thorough health assessment to determine which treatments you qualify for. Also, to discuss which treatments will address your individual concerns.
#1 Hair loss restoration
Over 70% of men experience male pattern baldness. Some men experience initial shedding and early-stage receding as early as their 20s or 30s, with 50% of men experiencing hair loss by their 50s. We prescribe solo or combined treatments to address hair loss, and suggest med spa hair loss treatments for men (and women) at the first signs of thinning, or as a proactive approach to hereditary hair loss.
PRP or PRF therapy
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) injections are highly effective for hair restoration. Both therapies are natural, non-surgical, and minimally invasive, as they harness the regenerative power of your blood platelets to revitalize your hair follicles. A small vial of blood is drawn and placed into a centrifuge machine. This isolates plasma, creating a concentrated mix of restorative platelets and growth factors.
PRP
For PRP, your plasma is strategically injected into your scalp to stimulate hair regrowth. Plasma contains 2 to 5 times the platelet concentration in your body. Success rates average between 70 and 90 percent.
PRF
For PRF, your blood is spun a bit slower in the centrifuge machine. This creates a fibrin-rich matrix. This matrix contains a higher percentage of growth factors and stem cells. The plasma concentration contains up to 10 times more plasma than found in your body. Success rates average around 80 percent.
Results in 3 to 6 months
For optimal results, you’ll need 2 to 3 sessions, 1 every 4 weeks. Each treatment takes between 60 and 90 minutes, including the time it takes to spin your plasma or fibrin matrix in the centrifuge. You’ll see the most regrowth at approximately 6 months. Schedule a maintenance session every 3 to 6 months.
PRP and PRF are also options for adult acne
We also prescribe PRP and PRF therapy for men struggling with adult acne, scarring, hyperpigmentation, and a few other aesthetic concerns.
What is Nutrafol for hair growth?
Nutrafol is a nutraceutical nutritional supplement designed specifically for hair growth. We prescribe it solo or with other med spa treatments for men. Nutraceutical combines the words “nutrient” and “pharmaceutical”. It’s the concept of treating food as medicine by strategically consuming plant compounds to stimulate the body’s natural healing process. Nutrafol contains a proprietary blend of 100% naturally derived nutrients that address the most common causes of hair loss.
We prescribe Nutrafol specifically formulated for men’s nutritional needs. You can take this supplement proactively or reactively. In addition to nutritional supplements, we may prescribe Nutrafol scalp serum, shampoo, conditioner, anti-inflammatory scalp spray, and other hair-stimulating products.
Does Nutrafol really increase hair growth?
Studies find that 84% of men showed improvement in hair growth between 6 and 9 months. For women, 90% showed improvement in hair at 6 months and 100% showed improvement at 9 months.
With Nutrafol alone, initial results take 1 to 3 months, with peak performance between 6 and 9 months. Combined with PRP/PRF and testosterone therapy, hair restoration may be accelerated.
Testosterone Therapy
One of the reasons hair loss begins, or accelerates, in your 50s is that you’re experiencing a natural decline in testosterone. This is due to andropause (aka. male menopause). However, hair loss isn’t likely to be the only symptom you’re experiencing.
If you’re experiencing 2 or more of the symptoms below, we can test your hormone levels. If we identify a decrease in testosterone, we may prescribe Testosterone Pellets.
Signs you may be in andropause:
- Brain fog
- Decreased immunity
- Decreased muscle mass
- Difficulty maintaining an erection
- Difficulty sustaining and erection
- Dry skin
- Exhaustion/fatigue
- Increased irritability
- Insulin resistance
- Loss of muscle mass
- Low energy
- Low libido
- Thinning hair
- Weight gain
#2 Brotox
Wondering what “Brotox” is? It’s Botox, the top injectable med spa treatment for men. Botox is an FDA-approved neurotoxin that relaxes muscle contractions. As we age, the repetitive motion of facial expressions creates wrinkles and creases. Botox is most utilized for smoothing brow lines, but can also be used to smooth:
- Glabellar lines (frown lines)
- Forehead creases
- Crow’s feet
- Drooping brows
- Bunny lines
- Smile lines
- Chin dimples
- Corners of the mouth
No frozen face
Our skilled aesthetic injectors administer small drops of Botox strategically to your face and chin muscles. Natural facial expressions are maintained, but creases and wrinkles are smoothed. Results last 3 to 4 months.
#3 Jawline contouring
Having a strong and chiseled jawline is the epitome of youth and masculinity. If you’re gradually losing the definition along your jawline, or your jawline was never particularly defined, we’ll explore your options in jawline contouring. We may also discuss the use of injectables to lift lax skin in the neck and lower face.
Botox neck lift
The lower chin and jowl are two areas we can administer Botox. Relaxing muscle contractions in this area lifts gradual sagging and minimizes “turkey neck”.
Kybella
If your lost jawline definition is due to fat underneath your chin, we may suggest Kybella. Even if you lose weight, fat in the chin almost always remains. Kybella is formulated specifically to dissolve the dreaded double chin. This revolutionary treatment targets and permanently dissolves fat, without harming other tissues or cells.
During your treatment, we inject 20 to 50 micro-injections to contour your jawline. You’ll need 2 to 3 sessions, spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart. Most men see maximum definition with this med spa treatment between 4 and 6 weeks.
Morpheus8
Morpheus8 is a state-of-the-art technology that tightens, resurfaces, and firms your skin. It combines radiofrequency and microneedling to blast fat and restore definition along your jawline. A total of 3 to 5 treatments are required, spaced every 3 to 6 weeks. Maintenance is required every 12 weeks for ongoing anti-aging benefits.
Radiofrequency (RF)
Radiofrequency sends low-grade concentrated bursts of energy into the deep tissue layers of the skin. This helps the body remodel existing collagen and elastin and stimulates new growth of these anti-aging proteins. RF also permanently dissolves fat cells. Although bursts of energy penetrate your skin, you won’t feel a thing.
Microneedling
Morpheus8 provides next-level microneedling, utilizing 0.5mm to 8mm thin pins to penetrate the skin. The depth is determined by the area of the body being treated and your aesthetic objectives. This fractional treatment activates the body’s natural healing process to tighten and tone skin. It also stimulates collagen and elastin. Microneedling isn’t pain-free, but we ensure you’re comfortable by administering Pro-Nox (aka. laughing gas).
#4 Medical Weight Loss
We’re not just a med spa for men, we’re a medical weight loss center too! Just like medical-grade aesthetic treatments, Medical Weight Loss Injections and Programs are proven to deliver results. GLP-1 medications get all the buzz, but they’re not your only option. Our objective is to determine why you’ve gained weight and why you’re struggling to lose weight. Then we prescribe a sustainable weight loss and wellness plan.
Weight Loss Injections
We offer lipotropic injections and GLP-1 medications to boost metabolism and optimize your body from the inside out. We may combine your injections with the tools below.
Weight Loss Programs
Our medical weight loss programs provide tailored meal plans, exercise plans, weight-optimizing supplements, and body composition analysis to help you achieve your health and wellness objectives.
Weight Loss Supplements
We offer premium protein shakes, appetite suppressants, vitamin injections, and dietary supplements to fuel and regulate your body from the inside out.
#5 Skin Tightening and Body Contouring
Whether from rapid weight loss or natural aging, men are increasingly open to med spa treatments that tighten skin laxity, blast fat in targeted areas, and restore volume loss. As we age, collagen and elastin production slow. As they slow, the visible signs of aging intensify.
Men have thicker skin than women, which may delay the rate at which fine lines and wrinkles develop. Applying topical skincare products supports anti-aging, but topicals can only go so far when it comes to reversing aging. We offer a range of targeted tightening, smoothing, and contouring treatments to address the areas of your face and body that you want to restore.
