What women know - and men are only just finding out...

Male grooming is one of the fastest growing areas in the aesthetic market and we have certainly noticed the trend. Men are at last realising how much we ladies know and to what lengths we will go to keep ourselves 'maintained' and why not? We maintain our cars and houses so why not our bodies and our skin? After all - we are going to be living with them for longer than we are like to keep our cars...

At Mapperley Park, we have always had a high proportion of male clients, largely because of our tattoo removal service. Over recent years we have also noticed a definite increase in men seeking aesthetic treatments; we now have a number of couples who attend together for a variety of treatments and we have decided to campaign for men to have the same benefits available to them as women have been quietly using for many years now.

Cosmetic treatments for men

This may be in the form of injectables for lines and wrinkles or Pixel Laser and Dermaroller for anti-ageing effects. Many men attend for treatment of facial veins and Rosacea, removal of skin-lesions or Vaser Lipo to remove stubborn fat pockets or 'man-boobs'. Increasingly, men are feeling the pressure to look younger for longer, both at home and in the workplace and as we live longer, who wants to look ready for retirement for half their lives?

Dermaroller, for example, only requires the day of treatment as the down time so you can go back to work the next day. This is one of the reasons it is so popular with our male clients. Botox, hair removal, vein treatments and light peels have no down-time at all so, if you are still shy about treatments, nobody needs to know.

Hair loss - and excess hair

It is a sad fact of life that - as men age - they lose hair from their heads and grow it in different places on the body, so we see many men for hair removal on body areas and also for hair transplantation procedures for scalp hair-loss. Technology is advancing here and while we have the very latest hair removal technology, hair loss techniques are evolving rapidly at this time, so you can choose from topical lotions and medicines, home-use laser combs, hair transplant techniques and new for 2011 recently developed in-clinic hair-loss treatments.

So come on guys, don't let us girls get too far ahead or you may never catch up. Why not phone us today on 0115 9692323 to find out how we can buff up your body work and polish up your panelling.
