Hydrafacial for Men

Yes, if your skin gets oily, congested or irritated from shaving: it deep-cleans in under an hour with no downtime. It won’t stop beard hairs curling back into the skin, so for constant razor bumps, laser hair reduction for men is the better fix.

Not for most men. Expect a cool swirl of water, a gentle pull on the skin and a short tingle from the peel, which is stronger if you shaved that morning. Nothing is squeezed, and you won’t need numbing.

Straight away for oil and blackheads: your skin feels cleaner and looks less shiny as you leave. For razor bumps and congested skin, three or four monthly sessions with a better shaving routine bring the biggest change.

Your fresh, clear skin lasts a few weeks, until pores slowly refill. That is why most men book once a month, or every two weeks at first if their skin is very oily.

Yes, for most men. It uses no heat or needles, and pinkness for up to an hour is the usual side effect. Your doctor avoids cuts, sunburn or infected bumps, and checks first if you are allergic to aspirin or use acne medicine.

It clears the dead skin that traps beard hairs, using the same acids dermatologists use for razor bumps. For lasting results, shave with the grain, use a sharp blade and never pluck trapped hairs.

Shave the day before rather than the same morning, as freshly shaved skin can sting during the peel. If you have a full beard, tell your doctor: the treatment works on bare skin, such as the forehead, nose and upper cheeks.

Both deep-clean with no downtime. Hydrafacial uses water, suction and a mild peel, which suits oily skin and blackheads. The Diamond Glow facial for men polishes rough, dull skin with a diamond tip. Your doctor tells you which suits your skin.

Yes, for mild to moderate breakouts, over a course. In a clinical study of six sessions a fortnight apart, the share of adults with clear or almost clear skin rose from 20% to 65%. Deep, painful spots need medicine from a doctor; see our Hydrafacial for acne plan.

Keep it quick: a gentle cleanser morning and night, a light oil-free moisturiser, and SPF 30 every morning. Shave with the grain using a sharp blade, and see your doctor if bumps keep coming back.

Yes, many grooms do. Book your session three to five days before the wedding, so you can still shave comfortably. For oily or bumpy skin, start monthly visits about three months ahead.
