5 Beauty Tips for Dad

For many men, skin care and cosmetic surgery are a mere afterthought. Beyond the world of shaving their faces, very rarely do they take care of their skin. While some men may grow more “distinguished” with age, others may feel self-conscious about the signs of aging like wrinkles, sagging skin, love handles, and neck ripples.

All of dad’s wisdom hard work, late nights and long days can take a toll on his skin and body.

Below we share some simple tips for dads to care for their skin and keep them looking young, cool and handsome. We also present popular cosmetic procedures to help dad achieve a more youthful appearance and more self confidence.

1. Clean Your Face - No matter what skin type you have, clean your face every day. Men have approximately 20% oilier skin and significantly larger pores than women. Basically, this means you get dirtier. A good skin cleanser is a great start to healthier skin. Keep it in the shower to easily remember to wash your face.

TRY: Obagi Nu-Derm Gentle Cleanser is a soap-free gentle cleanser formulated for sensitive or normal to dry skin.

2. Moisturize - Moisturizing is no longer just “a girl thing.” Moisturizing your face on a daily basis will help promote hydration, skin cell regeneration, healing, and prevent damaging effects from external forces and weather conditions that lead to premature wrinkles and fine lines.

TRY: Colorscience Post Shave Shield SPF 20 - An invisible skin protector with the most effective SPF 20 sunscreen available. It is packed full of powerful Anti-oxidants and Rice Peptides to leave skin feeling soothed and protected. Formulated with Oat and Beta Glucan to moisturize, while improving skin texture and protecting from sun damage all in one easy product.

3. Turkey Waddle - A neck lift can remove excess fat and muscle in the jaw or chin area. LipoTherme laser is a procedure that uses a laser to liquefy and remove unwanted fat in targeted body zones that traditional liposuction cannot treat. Lipotherme’s thermal effect causes the skin to contract, resulting in firmer, smoother skin that further enhances body shaping goals. Learn more.

4. Love Handles & Beer Belly - Men tend to accumulate fat around their midsection. This fat can be notoriously resistant to diet and exercise. Body Jet Water Liposuction is the most gentle form of lipo that uses a thin, fan shaped water jet to flush the fat, causing it to lose its structure be released. Because of the minimal damage to the surrounding tissue, which results in reduced pain, swelling and bruising, recovery is quick.  Learn more.

5. Body Hair Everywhere - In the past, unless you were a bodybuilder, cyclist, swimmer, or male exotic dancer, most body hair on men remained untouched. Increasingly men want the hair on their back and chest thinned out. With the help of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), unwanted hair from any part of body can be thinned out or removed. The energy from the IPL is absorbed by the shaft and follicle of growing hair and the residual hair will fall off.  Learn more.

Dr. Rina Shinn of Adonis Aesthetics is the first surgeon in Colorado to provide Lipotherme, a safe, effective, minimally invasive procedure that uses a laser to liquefy and remove unwanted fat in targeted body zones. In addition to removing unwanted fat, Lipotherme’s thermal effect causes the skin to contract, resulting in firmer, smoother skin that further enhances body shaping goals.

With so many laser procedures on the market to remove unwanted fat, Lipotherme is ideal for removing fat in selected body zones that traditional liposuction cannot treat such as the bra line, under the chin, under arm/upper arm and above the knees and ankles.

Due to its skin tightening effect and its ability to create a more balanced skin texture, Lipotherme is also ideal for a non-invasive mid-face lift delicate areas such as under the chin, under the eyes, jowls.

Dr. Shinn often uses Lipotherme in conjunction with Body Jet (water assisted liposuction) for patients who have loose skin on areas where large volume fat removal is necessary.
