MEN’S CORNER

Men visiting beauty salons is becoming increasingly common and is no longer a taboo topic.
Modern men are paying more attention to their appearance, health, and relaxation, and beauty salons offer a wide range of treatments tailored to the specific characteristics and needs of male skin.
Male skin is thicker, firmer, and tends to produce more sebum, which requires a specific approach—especially considering the irritation caused by frequent shaving.

Most Popular Treatments for Men

Men most often seek treatments that help them address skin issues, relax, and contribute to a well-groomed appearance.

1. Facial Care
• Medical Facial Cleansing / Hygienic Treatments: Due to higher sebum production, male skin is more prone to clogged pores and acne. These treatments include deep cleansing and help the skin breathe.
• Hydrating and Revitalizing Treatments: Treatments that restore moisture and energy to the skin, especially for skin that’s tired or irritated from shaving. They often include ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and vitamins.
• Anti-Aging Treatments: Reducing wrinkles and skin sagging using non-invasive methods.

2. Body Massages
• Sports and Medical Massage: Extremely popular for relieving muscle and back pain, treating muscle knots (myogeloses), and relaxing after stress or physical activity.
• Relaxation Massages (Aromatherapy, Hot Stone): Help with detoxification, physical relaxation, and stress reduction.

3. Hair Removal
• Depilation: Removal of unwanted hair using wax or sugar paste in areas such as the back, chest, and shoulders.
• Permanent Hair Removal (E-light): The best option for long-term hair removal.

4. Hand and Foot Care
• Manicure and Pedicure: Not only aesthetic but also with health benefits. Includes nail grooming, removal of calluses, and medical pedicure (for ingrown nails, etc.).
Today, a visit to the beauty salon for a man is a sign of self-care, not a moment of weakness.
It’s an investment in health and appearance.

Waxing for men

Waxing is becoming an increasingly popular and accepted method of hair removal for men, as it provides longer-lasting and smoother results compared to shaving.
Here are the key facts and tips about male waxing:

1. Popular Areas for Male Waxing
Men most often choose waxing for areas where the hair is thicker and coarser:
• Back and shoulders: The most commonly treated areas.
• Chest and stomach: Especially popular among athletes or during summer.
• Arms and legs

2. Expected Results and Duration
• Duration: Hair is removed from the root, meaning the skin stays smooth for 3 to 6 weeks, depending on the individual hair growth cycle.
• Over time: With regular waxing, hair becomes thinner, sparser, and weaker, and the treatment becomes less painful.

3. Pain and Tips to Reduce Discomfort
Waxing can be painful, especially for the first time and on areas with thick and coarse hair, such as the back and chest. However, an experienced esthetician and proper technique can significantly reduce discomfort.
Tips for reducing pain:
• Hair length: The ideal hair length is between 0.5 cm and 1 cm. Hair that is too long can be trimmed before the session; hair that is too short may not be caught by the wax. Avoid shaving for at least 10–15 days before the treatment.

4. Preparation and Aftercare
Before your appointment:
• Hygiene: Take a shower before the treatment.
• Avoid: Do not apply lotions, creams, or oils to the area being waxed, as they can prevent the wax from adhering properly.

After the treatment (Home care):
• Redness: Redness and skin sensitivity are normal and usually disappear within a few hours.
• Soothing: Apply a soothing gel (e.g., alcohol-free aloe vera gel) to reduce irritation.

Avoid for 24–48 hours:
• Sun exposure and tanning beds
• Hot baths and saunas
• Intense workouts that cause sweating
• Tight clothing made of synthetic materials
Exfoliation: Regular exfoliation (once or twice a week) after the skin calms down is essential to prevent ingrown hairs.

Treatment Duration:
15 – 45 minutes

Sugaring hair removal for men

SUGARING HAIR REMOVAL FOR MEN

Male sugaring hair removal, also known as Egyptian hair removal, is an extremely popular method of removing hair in men, especially for sensitive areas and coarse hair.

Key Benefits of Sugaring for Men
• Less irritation and ingrown hairs: The paste is made from natural ingredients (sugar, lemon, and water) and is gentler on the skin compared to waxing or shaving. Hair is removed in the direction of growth, which significantly reduces the risk of ingrown hairs and irritation.
• Gentle on sensitive areas: Ideal for intimate areas (male Brazilian), armpits, and other sensitive zones. The paste is at body temperature, so there is no risk of burns.
• Long-lasting results: Hair is pulled out from the root, and with regular use, it becomes softer, thinner, and grows back more sparsely. The skin remains smooth for at least 3 weeks.
• Natural ingredients: The paste sticks only to the hair, not the skin, making the process less painful compared to traditional waxing. It can also remove very short hairs (as short as 1 mm).

Most Common Areas Men Get Sugaring Hair Removal
Men use this method to remove hair from almost the entire body. The most common areas include:
• Back (partial or full)
• Chest and stomach
• Legs (half or full)
• Armpits

Pre- and Post-Treatment Recommendations
To make the treatment as effective and painless as possible, it is recommended to:
• Hair length: Hair should be between 3 and 5 millimeters long for the best results.
• Before treatment: Do not use lotions or oils on the day of the appointment. The skin should be clean and dry.
• After treatment: Avoid saunas, gyms, and sun exposure for at least 24 hours after the procedure. Wear loose cotton clothing on the treated areas to prevent irritation.

Treatment Duration
10 – 60 minutes

E-light permanent hair removal for men

E-LIGHT (IPL+RF) 360° MAGNETIC OPTICAL HAIR REMOVAL DEVICE

E-light hair removal is an advanced method of permanent hair reduction that combines two technologies:

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light): Emits a broad spectrum of light that is absorbed by the melanin in the hair. The light energy is converted into heat, which destroys the hair follicle.

Radiofrequency (RF): Used to further heat the hair follicle and the surrounding area, enhancing the effect of IPL and helping to destroy the hair root.

Key Benefits of the E-light Method:

Increased effectiveness: The combination of IPL and RF allows energy to be more precisely targeted at the hair follicle, making it more effective than IPL alone.

Treats different hair colors: Thanks to RF, which does not rely on pigment (melanin), E-light can be more effective in treating lighter and finer hair.

Safe for a wider range of skin tones: RF allows the use of lower levels of IPL energy, reducing the risk of damage to the surrounding skin and making the treatment safer for darker skin tones.

Reduced discomfort: The device’s cooling system minimizes discomfort during the treatment.

Additional skin benefits: E-light devices are also commonly used for skin rejuvenation (photo-rejuvenation), removal of capillaries, pigmentation (freckles, sun spots), and acne treatment, due to the combination of IPL and RF.

How does hair removal work?

The energy from the E-light device travels through the skin to the hair root. The light energy is absorbed by the melanin and converted into heat, while the RF further heats the follicle. This heat permanently damages the follicle, preventing future hair growth.

How many treatments are needed?

6 to 10 treatments are usually required, as only hairs in the active growth phase are destroyed during a session. The intervals between treatments are 2 to 4 weeks.

Treatment duration:

Each session lasts between 10 and 30 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
