Today’s Men are clearly in on having anti aging cosmetic procedures!  My male clientelle is growing by leaps and bounds the same as others across the nation. There are a few differences between men’s demands and those of our female patients.  Basically, Men want to look younger, more energetic and healthy simply because they want to…and because the competitive career market today demands that men and women look good.  Our society equates looking good with youthfulness, thus the tremendous upsurge in age defying cosmetic treatments this past decade.  Men also want their treatments to be “subtle”…they simple don’t want anyone else to know they’re having Botox® (Brotox) treatments for a smoother, younger looking face.  Men want “in and out” no downtime options.  That means treatments like Botox with reduced redness, swelling and bruising. (Be sure you use only a Certified Expert Injector).

We offer many Men’s anti aging cosmetic treatments that are safe and effective without surgery…that’s right no knife, no cutting and no downtime.

TOP COSMETIC TRENDS for MEN

• American Board of Plastic Surgery reports Male cosmetic treatments are up by 258% over 10 years
• Men are opting for more laser treatments to promote health and youthfulness
• Rhinoplasty, Hair Removal and Blepharoplasty (for the eyes) is still at the top
• Botox (Brotox), Hyaluronic Acid Fillers e.g. Juvederm, Restylane etc for lines and wrinkles and stressed look removal
• Microdermabrasion for skin resurfacing reveals younger, healthier skin, removes scars, sun damage and discoloration
• Men are starting cosmetic treatments at younger ages and then maintaining on a regular basis
• The Millenials treat cosmetic anti aging procedures as part of their regular health regimen
• Cosmetic treatments for men and women of the younger generations are the “New Beauty Economics”
• The stigma for men and cosmetic treatments is gone…men are in the deal to stay
• I offer non surgical alternatives to surgical procedures

Ok, we have the treatments and they work.  But preventive measures are important too.  Here are a few that can really make a difference in your quest for anti aging:

1. Start now and do these the rest of your life to make a difference
2. SKIN CARE is critical at every age.  To maintain healthy skin keep well hydrated, including your facial skin.  Yes, men need good skin hydration and protection against harmful environmental agents.
3. Use Sunscreen – UVA and UVB rays are responsible for 90% of the early signs of facial aging
4. Stress…manage it or it will manage you!  Daily stressors contribute to acne, facial lines and grooves especially around the eyes.
5. Exercise for Stress Reduction.  Go to the gym and workout, ski, swim, bike etc to get the blood flowing and strengthen those heart muscles.
6. Maintain a “healthy” diet.  Get rid of the junk food.  Instead, eat raw vegetables, fruits, good oils, drink at lest 64 ounces of water daily, eat more fish etc.
7. Sleep is critical to good overall health.  Lack of adequate sleep shows up in facial aging.
8. Live a Healthy Lifestyle.  Don’t smoke, limit alcohol consumptions, get over the party life and into a daily healthy routine.
9. Visit my website for info on procedures/products: www.drcovey.com.

This post is an overview of future articles I’ll write educating on the procedures I offer to both men and women.  Look for great info as we go through 2014… helping you to be your very best!

WELCOME to the 2014 blog from Alexander J. Covey and East End Laser Care!

My goal is to inform, educate and encourage you throughout this new year.  I will write about our tried and proven procedures and some “late great ones.”  I’ll educate about each one and the benefits seen at any age and stage in life.  It’s never too late to get started with an age defying – anti aging program.  But, we’ve learned from Celebrities (who never seem to age) the great benefits of starting early (20’s) with small procedures and regular, periodic maintenance in order to remove early signs of aging and to always looks years younger! 

At East End Laser we offer advanced options that achieve “Natural Good Looks…Without Surgery!”

TIPS for HEALTHY GLOWING SKIN

Cold temperatures. harsh winds, indoor drying heat and more can wreak havoc with your skin making it feel tight, scaly and uncomfortable. Cold air is drying due to lack of moisture found in warm, humid air. Winds cause skin moisture evaporation, thus drier skin during the cold months. Indoor heat pulls moisture out of the skin causing it to dry.  Below are some helpful tips to get through the “drying season.”  Rich, sugary Holiday foods undermine the immune system and contribute to problem, dull skin.  The New Year is here and we are here to guide you into being your very best self ever!

1. Use a gentler cleanser in winter months to avoid stripping the skin’s natural oils and helping to preserve the fragile outer skin barrier.

2.Winter Glow from Daily serum compliments your daily moisturizer.  Serums penetrate and hydrate cells in the deeper dermis allowing them to rise to the outer skin level – plump and healthy.

3. Exfoliation removes dead, damaged skin cells and impurities.  Exfoliate 2-3 times a week. We can tailor  an At Home Skin Care Regime, using products best suited to your needs in order to accomplish Glowing Skin after the all year long.

4.  Drink plenty of pure water every day!  There is no substitute for water to keep the body well hydrated, the skin plump and clear and to flush out impurities.

5.  Love your lips!  Your sensitive lip skin needs regular attention to stay youthful sexy and gorgeous.  Lips should be gently exfoliated weekly to remove dry, dead skin.  Ask us for our recommendations for “gorgeous, sexy lips!”

6.  Avoid hot baths.  The intense heat of hot baths or showers can actually break down the lipid barriers in the skin leading to moisture loss.

7. Sunscreen is for Wintertime too. Winter sun and snow glare are equally damaging to the skin.  Apply sunscreen about 30 minutes before going outdoors.

8.  Treat Your Body like Your Face.  Skin is the largest body organ and demands constant attention. Keep your Decolletage looking radiant.  Ask us how.

9.  Eliminate Dull Eyes!  Avoid dull looking eyes during dull winters by using an eye cream or serum to keep the skin around the eyes taught…thus making you appear more radiant.

10.  Our clients love Microdermabrasion to resurface dull, tired skin.  Our gentle Clear and Brilliant Laser treatments enhance aging skin and restore a “natural” glow and much more…. see www.drcovey.com for info on many other innovative, age defying treatment options.

11.  Get back on a healthy nutritional program and avoid sugar.  Tips on beautiful skin foods in my next blog.

Best Wishes for a great 2014!
