Cosmetic Procedures for Men: Get Summer-Ready!

Published by EMSC

Summer is a time when many people want to look their best. With the hot weather and more time spent outdoors, it’s a great time to take a closer look at your appearance and consider cosmetic procedures that can help you achieve the look you want. While cosmetic procedures are often associated with women, men can also benefit from these treatments. In this blog, we’ll discuss some cosmetic procedures that men can have to look their best for summer.

Emsculpt NEO

This non-invasive body contouring treatment reduces fat and improves muscle tone. Using radiofrequency (RF) waves and high-intensity electromagnetic energy concurrently helps patients achieve a more sculpted and toned physique. This procedure can be performed on the abdomen, flanks, and other areas of the body. Emsculpt NEO is safe and effective for those who want to improve their body contour without plastic surgery or downtime.

Laser Hair Removal

Excessive hair can be a source of embarrassment for some men. Laser hair removal is a safe and effective way to permanently reduce unwanted body hair. This treatment uses laser energy to target the hair follicles, preventing them from growing back. Laser hair removal is a long-term solution that can save men time and money in the long run, as they no longer need to spend time and money on shaving or waxing.

These are just two of many cosmetic procedures that men can have to look their best for summer. To learn more about other options for men or to schedule a consultation, please reach out online or call Chicago Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology.
