Barbeque and BOTOX®: A Few of Dad's Favorite Things

The Skin Center Medical Spa specializes in minimally-invasive rejuvenation treatments for men.

(Pittsburgh, PA) June 9, 2008 -- Women may be more open to discuss their favorite beauty treatments, but men are just as interested in slowing the clock. The Skin Center Medical Spa, with locations in Pennsylvania and Ohio, is a favorite destination for men who want to maintain their youthful look and rejuvenate their appearance without any downtime.

While many men opt for BOTOX® Cosmetic or some type of dermal filler to rejuvenate their faces, others are interested in improving the overall condition of the skin. Chemical peels that reduce the appearance of active acne and acne scars, while helping to soften fine lines and wrinkles and give the skin a more healthy-looking glow are a popular choice for men. The PCA Body Peel has proven to be a great way for men to exfoliate dull skin and diminish acne outbreaks on their backs and chests and improve the overall appearance of their skin.

SmartLipo™, or laser lipo, is fast becoming a popular fat zapping treatment for men wanting to sculpt their abs and whittle their waistlines without anyone knowing. It's also effective for gynecomastia, or enlarged breast tissue in men. SmartLipo™ uses a small laser probe, about the diameter of a paperclip, to liquefy fat so sutures are not necessary and scars are virtually undetectable.

"Men are just as interested in maintaining their youth as women, but they are much less inclined to talk about it," said Dominic A. Brandy, MD, board-certified cosmetic surgeon and founding medical director of The Skin Center Medical Spa. "Men are interested in minimally-invasive treatments that show quick improvement with the least amount of downtime."

Removing unwanted hair on the body and face is among the most requested treatments from men. Advanced laser technology offers gentle, yet effective hair removal from the face, back, neck, shoulders, chest and arms. And if keeping the hair on the head is more of an issue than removing excess body hair, The Skin Center Medical Spa can help there too. The Skin Center Medical Spa offers a number of effective hair loss and hair restoration treatments that are tailored to the degree and severity of hair loss.

The Skin Center Medical Spa specializes in non-invasive and minimally invasive aesthetic treatments, including the minimally-invasive SmartLipo™ or laser-assisted liposuction, which is designed to improve a person's appearance with little downtime.

In addition to minimally-invasive medical treatments, The Skin Center Medical Spa specializes in a number of surgical procedures including liposuction, nose contouring, neck sculpting, chin augmentation, upper and lower eyelid surgery and the QuickLift™ procedure.
