Men’s skin has clear structural differences from women’s skin, including thicker collagen fibers, stronger oil production, and a higher chance of textural concerns. Male skin responds well to consistent care and supportive treatments that address visible changes.
At Severn River Medspa, we offer options in Severna Park and Annapolis, MD, that fit into your schedule without taking much time away from your routine. You can choose from facials, complexion-focused services, and contouring treatments that can help you address specific concerns and maintain healthier-looking skin. We will guide you toward options that suit your goals and your lifestyle.
What Is An Aesthetic Treatment?
An aesthetic treatment is a non-surgical option that improves the appearance of your skin, face, or body. These treatments can address texture, tone, firmness, and contour concerns without a lengthy recovery. You can choose options that work on the surface of the skin, remodel deeper layers, or sculpt specific facial structures. Because they are non-surgical, these treatments do not come with extensive downtime.
Why More Men Are Choosing Aesthetic Treatments
More men want practical ways to maintain their skin and manage visible signs of aging. The availability of quick facials, energy-based treatments, and contouring services makes it easier to address concerns like dull skin, laxity, or volume changes. There is also much less stigma for men who want to keep their skin healthy and youthful.
Men’s Skin Treatments
Custom Medical-Grade Facials
Custom medical-grade facials address multiple concerns in one appointment. Your esthetician will select specific methods based on what your skin needs most. Enzyme therapy, ultrasonic exfoliation, LED light, and special masks work together to refresh your skin and improve tone and texture. The combination supports clearer pores, smoother surfaces, and better absorption of topical ingredients.
SknLab Aqua Dermabrasion
SknLab Aqua Dermabrasion uses water-based exfoliation with serum infusion to cleanse and hydrate your skin. Precision handpieces apply alpha hydroxy acids, beta hydroxy acids, and hyaluronic acid across the surface. Each supports clearer pores and balanced hydration. Diamond-tip exfoliation and oxygen therapy also work together to create a smooth canvas. The treatment works well for men who want improved clarity, reduced congestion, and a brighter look with no downtime.
Fire and Ice Facial
The Fire and Ice Facial uses a resurfacing approach that blends glycolic exfoliation with a cooling mask to reset your skin’s appearance. Microdermabrasion prepares the surface, then the warming phase encourages rapid renewal. The final cooling step calms your skin with hydrating and soothing ingredients that leave a refreshed finish. This treatment is perfect for men who want to look their best for an event.
Chemical Peels for Men
Chemical peels for men include options like the Perfect Derma™ peel and SkinCeuticals® peels, which address tone, pigment, and texture concerns with exfoliation. We select formulas based on the strength you need, ranging from lighter blends that refresh surface dullness to deeper options that treat more prominent discoloration, wrinkles, or roughness.
Chemical peels are solutions that encourage the outer layers to shed. Some peels create only mild dryness or flaking, while medium-strength options come with some peeling that lasts a few days to a week, which is normal and part of the renewal process. Downtime varies by peel type, and you can choose an option that fits your schedule.
Diamond Microdermabrasion
Diamond microdermabrasion is a treatment using a medical-grade diamond tip to provide controlled exfoliation that refreshes the skin. The varied settings let us match the intensity to your skin while we pass the device across areas that look dull or have an uneven texture. Men often choose this treatment when they want a clean, polished look that feels smooth immediately. The session ends with hydrating products that support the refreshed surface and improve skin comfort.
Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning removes dead skin with a precise scalpel technique that creates a clean surface immediately. The smooth finish allows skin care products to absorb evenly and improves how the skin reflects light. The method appeals to men who want an instant brightening effect without chemical solutions or downtime. This method can only be used on areas of the face that do not have coarse facial hair, but we can easily work around your beard.
Enzyme Therapy
Enzyme therapy uses natural ingredients to gently break down buildup. This is a good option for skin that becomes easily irritated by other forms of exfoliation. Pumpkin enzymes support brightening and pore refinement, papaya enzymes offer mild exfoliation with hydration, and pineapple enzymes encourage renewed radiance through enhanced turnover. We select the appropriate enzyme blend based on the condition of your skin at the time of treatment.
Wrinkle Relaxing Treatments for Men
Botox®
Botox can soften lines that form across the forehead, between the eyebrows, and at the corners of the eyes. We use this treatment to address movement patterns that create visible creases, but with a light enough touch to maintain natural expression. Subtle lines around the nose, mouth, and chin respond well to targeted injections, and we can also address platysmal bands along the neck.
Jeuveau®
Jeuveau works in the same way as Botox, but the formulation uses a modern purification process that some men prefer when they want a fresh option in the neurotoxin category. The product is useful for expression-heavy areas such as the forehead and the glabella. We often use it for men who want a smooth look without a heavy feel.
Body Contouring Treatments for Men
TruSculpt® iD
TruSculpt iD uses radiofrequency energy to address stubborn areas that do not respond well to exercise or healthy eating. The handpieces heat the tissue and disrupt fat cells. This can be helpful for men who want a direct, time-efficient way to refine the abdomen, flanks, or chest.
TruSculpt® Flex
TruSculpt Flex offers muscle stimulation that uses electrical currents to contract and strengthen targeted groups more intensely than standard workouts. The device cycles through patterns that mimic twisting, lifting, and sculpting movements to improve muscle tone. This treatment can build more definition in the abdomen, obliques, or thighs. The customizable settings allow us to match the intensity to your comfort level, and the sessions stack well with your regular fitness routine.
Laser Hair Removal for Men
Laser hair removal with the Lumenis LightSheer® system offers a way for men to manage areas of unwanted hair. The device targets the pigment in the follicles with controlled light energy that disrupts growth while keeping the surrounding skin comfortable. Male laser treatments can be used on areas like the back, chest, neck, or beard line — wherever you want a cleaner look that lasts longer than shaving or trimming.
Myths About Men’s Aesthetic Services
“I Will Look Like I’ve Had Something Done”
Men often worry that aesthetic treatments will leave them looking noticeably altered, but modern techniques focus on subtle changes. We use customized approaches that support your existing features, and we listen to the goals that you have for your own appearance. Most people will only notice healthier skin or a more rested appearance rather than anything dramatic.
“Treatments Require Too Much Downtime”
Aesthetic treatments for men usually fit easily into a packed schedule because most options involve little to no recovery. You can return to regular tasks shortly after appointments, and the improvements develop gradually. The flexibility of men's aesthetic services makes it easier to stay consistent without disrupting your routines.
“Injectables Will Make Me Look Frozen or Unnatural”
Injectables work with your facial movement patterns, and we adjust our treatments to give you natural-looking results. Strategic dosing keeps your features active while softening the lines that you want addressed. We can inject less product during your first appointment and then assess whether you like the amount of movement. We can always add more product later if you decide that you would like more significant results.
“Aesthetic Treatments Are Only for Women”
Men benefit from aesthetic treatments just as much as women because skin quality, muscle tone, and aging concerns affect everyone. The options available today address issues that men commonly want to manage, such as texture changes, hair growth patterns, and body contouring. Aesthetic care is simply a practical way to maintain your appearance in a way that suits your lifestyle.
What Preparation and Aftercare Is Needed With Aesthetic Treatments?
Preparation for most aesthetic treatments starts with keeping the skin clean, avoiding heavy products, and pausing exfoliants that may cause irritation. We will have a short consultation to review your medical history and current skincare routine and help us choose the safest and most effective approach for your appointment. Aftercare usually focuses on gentle cleansing, hydration, and sun protection while avoiding heat, strenuous exercise, and active skincare ingredients until your skin heals.
