The Manly Man: Laser Hair Removal For Men
Being a man comes with a lot of predisposed criteria that you must fit. There’s the manly man: the one with the full beard who carries an ax. The sensitive man: The one who has a shoulder to cry on. And the ladies man: The guy who knows what to say to get any woman. But what do each of these men have in common? The desire to look good and feel comfortable in their own way. And with things like excessive back hair or ingrown facial/neck hair, it is impossible to feel your best all the time. Luckily we at Associated Plastic Surgeons & Consultants offer laser hair removal to help all types of men to look their best. Read on to learn more.
Where Can It Be Done?
When people typically think of laser hair removal, they think of women flocking to the spa to get their legs, bikini area, or even their underarms done. And although laser hair removal is predominantly popular amongst the female crowd, it can also be done on men to remove hair from their legs, arms, backs, neck, and even parts of the face.
What Is It Like?
As a non-invasive procedure, laser hair removal is performed in the office without any outpatient recovery time. When you first arrive at Associated Plastic Surgeons & Consultants to get the procedure done, a topical numbing cream will be applied to your skin to help ease any pain or discomfort you may feel. Additionally, you will be required to wear safety glasses to protect your eyes from the laser— even if you are getting it done on your backside. Then, the technician or doctor will start the process. During the actual process, you can expect it to feel like rubber bands flicking your skin over and over again. Although uncomfortable, patients say that they quickly get used to the sensation which makes it easier to cope.
What Are Results Like?
Depending on the area you are targeting and the type of hair you have, you will have to undergo multiple sessions. Once you have completed the required amount of treatments, you will be eager to show off your hair-free skin.
Dealing with excessive or unwanted hair is beyond annoying. If you would like to learn more about laser hair removal for men, contact the experts at Associated Plastic Surgeons & Consultants today!

3 Tips for Maintaining Liposuction Results During the Holidays
Getting rid of stubborn areas of fat around your body can help you feel like you’ve finally made it— after all of that dieting and exercise, you now have the body to prove it all. And as one of the most effective ways of removing stubborn fat, undergoing liposuction from Associated Plastic Surgeons & Consultants can help you to look like a million bucks. However, as one of the most dreaded times of the year by individuals who have recently lost weight, the holiday season can be tricky. Luckily, with the three tips listed below, you can help to keep off any extra weights and maintain your liposuction results all season long. Read on to learn more.
- Indulge a Little
One of the biggest mistakes that dieters make is to deprive themselves of everything good and crave-worthy, which typically results in them falling of the wagon and eating way too much sugar or greasy food all at once. Take a healthier and more realistic approach to your holiday dieting plan this season and remember that it’s okay to indulge a little. For example, if you are going to a holiday party and they have some cake that you love, have a small slice— you don’t need to have a giant slice or even two slices to curb your craving— one small slice should do the trick. - Increase Your Activity
If you know yourself and you know that you may be snacking more or eating more desserts during the holidays, then increase your activity to help compensate for those additional calories. For instance, if you typically go to the gym 3 times a week, up it to 5 times per week until the holidays are over. - Cut Out Carbs When You Can
You aren’t new to the world of dieting and you know that cutting carbs is one of the fastest and easiest ways to lose weight. So, this holiday season, rather than eating dip with chips, switch to vegetables. And rather than eating another piece of pie, switch to greek yogurt instead. By cutting down on carbs and increasing your protein intake, you can substantially reduce the likelihood that you’ll gain any excess weight this season.
The holiday season doesn’t have to be a nightmare for individuals who are trying to keep weight off. By following the tips listed above, you can help to keep your liposuction results strong all year long.
