Father’s Day is almost here, and at Belladerm, we believe self-care is important for everyone, including Dad. Like women, men need to manage stress and reduce anxiety in a healthy way. But for most men, “me time” is a foreign concept, reserved only for women. Self-care can mean anything with the intention of making oneself feel better on a physical or emotional level. Read on as we discuss why men need to practice self-care too.

Why Self-Care is Important

Men are notorious for not taking care of themselves. This may be due to societal conditioning, a general perception that men are supposed to be rough, tough, and able to withstand physical, emotional, and psychological pressure without buckling. Unfortunately, a lack of self-care can lead to premature aging, increased anxiety, depression, and in some instances, a shortened lifespan. Research shows that men under constant daily stressors are more likely to suffer from migraines, high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease.

Self-Care is More Than Just Looking Good

Many men think self-care is strictly about looking good physically. And while male grooming is important for a positive self-image, it’s not the only factor. Self-care is also about feeling your best, mind, body, and soul. There is no “one-size-fits-all” and creating a healthy self-care regimen is incredibly personal. It could include meditation, positive affirmations, communing with nature, massage, proper sleep management, a healthy diet, and of course, exercise. And, after the past year, even the most masculine man needs a chance to destress and enjoy life every once and a while.

Where Did Your Glow Go?

As you age, your body loses hyaluronic acid (HA), a natural substance that gives your skin structure and volume. HA retains moisture so your skin looks and feels more supple, firm, and youthful. With dermal fillers such as Juvederm®, you can make sure your skin gets the HA it needs to decrease volume loss and produce a softer visage.

Lift Your Spirits

Combine fillers with Botox® for a more complete, longer-lasting anti-aging routine. BOTOX® is a purified, naturally recurring protein that can help reverse the effects of fine lines and wrinkles. This treatment only takes a few minutes and is performed by our expert injection specialists.

Now is the perfect time to try BOTOX® with our Wrinkle Free Fridays promotion. When you book your BOTOX® appointment for any Friday through December 20, you can receive 20 units for only $199.

Start the New Year Fresh

With 2020 approaching, this is the season to start fresh. The Halo™ hybrid fractional laser triggers the skin’s natural healing response to promote deep dermal revitalization and epidermal renewal. Halo™ combines non-ablative and ablative wavelengths in a single pass to improve tone and texture and restore a youthful glow.

Ditch the Stress

Let’s face it—holidays are stressful. So while you run your errands, stop into Belladerm for a facial or to purchase a gift card for that special someone on your list. Facials detoxify the skin, promote blood circulation, and lower stress. Routine treatments can be your best defense against dead skin buildup and clogged pores. We offer the Bella Classic Corrective facial for women and the Gentlemen’s Executive™ facial for male clientele.

The HydraFacial™ will help you achieve radiant, replenished, younger-looking skin.

Imagine yourself in 5 years looking younger than you look right now. That is a reality that we ALL would love, am I right? Reversing aging and actually improving your skin – not just the surface layer but on a deeper level – almost sounds too good to be true. We’re happy to share that research shows that changes CAN occur in the actual DNA of the skin cells that makes them behave like younger cells. Read on to learn more about what HALO and BBL can do for you.
BBL Laser – Turn Back the Clock 
Having healthy-looking skin can help you maintain a youthful appearance, but there are a host of aesthetic concerns that you may face as you age. For some people, it’s sun damage and brown spots. For others, it’s a red or flushed appearance or broken capillaries. Whether you notice these signs of aging on your face, your arms, your legs, or another area of your body, restoring even-toned skin can make a dramatic difference. BBL treatment can offer this change. Furthermore research done by Stanford University School of Medicine has shown an actual, deep-seated change that literally reverses years of damage does happen. All of this with no downtime, too!
BroadBand Light (BBL) treatment delivers high-intensity pulses of light that target specific skin conditions. It can be particularly effective against damage you may have experienced from a lifetime of ultraviolet light exposure. Skin conditions that are improved by BBL treatments include:

• Pigmented lesions like freckles and age spots
• Vascular lesions (rosacea and others)
• Acne
• Deeper lesions and darker types of skin

HALO HYBRID FRACTIONAL LASER – Get the Halo Glow 
The Halo is the world’s first hybrid fractional laser. It simultaneously delivers non-ablative and ablative wavelengths in a single pass over the skin. Especially noteworthy, the ablative laser is one of the most effective treatments for improving the signs of aging. By removing the outer layers of damaged skin, the skin is forced to heal, increase collagen production and restructure, making way for tighter, rejuvenated skin. In addition the Halo Hybrid Fractional Laser focuses energy on the deeper collagen layer of skin leaving the surface of your skin largely in tact for a quicker healing time. It delivers the results of an ablative procedure with little-to-no downtime, like a non-ablative treatment. As a result you get the best of both worlds!
In the past, you had to choose between a procedure that offered really great results but required a lengthy recovery, or a procedure with a fast recovery but marginal results. Now with HALO, you get the best of both worlds: great results with minimal downtime and customization to fit different needs.
HALO targets:

• Discoloration
• Sun damage
• Visible signs of aging
• Uneven skin tone
• Enlarged pores
• Poor texture
• Fine lines
• Scar revision

In conclusion, these two treatments pack a solid punch and when you combine them, the results are remarkable! Don’t miss our New Year, New You special happening NOW through 2/28/18 where we are going to offer a FREE BBL* treatment to any patient who schedules a HALO treatment. Aren’t you excited about these options that we have for improving skin? We simply love seeing our patients get their glow on and restore a more youthful look. We can almost see the confidence boost on their faces and that’s so meaningful for us. Thank you for trusting us to take care of your skin. We love our jobs!
