The 10 Best Cosmetic Procedures Men Can Do On Their Lunch Break

Looking good isn’t just something women run to their dermatologists for! Everyone wants to look their best these days and we support it!

 

Today, looking younger is easier for men than ever before with minimally invasive treatments that sculpt the body, smooth the skin, and of course, erase those unwanted wrinkles.

 

Wondering what your options are?

 

Below we outline some of the easiest treatments men can do on their lunch break—without breaking the bank— before returning back to the office!

 

  1. Coolsculpting for love handles, stubborn belly, upper thigh and back fat

 

Coolsculpting is your answer to killing fat cells for life. Did you know that your fat cells are actually determined during adolescence? When you gain weight, those fat cells simply expand. As we age, those fat cells can be difficult to shrink down with diet and exercise. Coolsculpting is a controlled cell death that occurs after one to two hours of treatment. A Coolsculpting specialist at SMD will place an applicator that uses vacuum pressure on all of your problem areas to kill those cells. Coolsculpting isn’t considered a weight loss treatment, but you can expect to see up to 30 percent fat reduction after just one session! From $750.00

 

  1. Viviscal or Specialty Assessment for thinning hair

 

Hair loss isn’t fun for anyone. Luckily, SMD has various treatments to help get those hair follicles back up and running!
