Consumers and brands now understand that skincare is for everyone. Male grooming is becoming destigmatised – and as such, more men than ever are investing in skincare. This is the ideal time to figure out how to market your skincare treatments and products to men too (if you haven’t already). With SkinBase, marketing skin treatments to men has never been easier.

Short Term Focus

On the whole, men have a “short term focus” when it comes to skincare. They  live and shop in the now.  They want to understand the purpose and value of a treatment or a product. What does the treatment do for the skin? What problem is it solving in the moment? Why it is beneficial/useful? When answering these question, men want to receive clear, straightforward information so they can make their decision. They will appreciate information that is backed up with evidence. If you are marketing SkinBase treatments to men, don’t forget to use the ‘before and after’ images from the SkinBase Transformation of the Year competition. These will offer proof of treatment results.

MD for Men

SkinBase Microdermabrasion is an effective, versatile treatment. It is ideal for exfoliating thicker, rougher skin which men have due to the greater presence of androgens. When promoting MD for men, think about how a treatment can benefit the skin.
During the treatment, aluminium oxide crystals blast onto the skin. It is then vacuumed away. This two-step process allows the pores to be cleared and unclogged. Dead cells, dirt and debris disappear resulting in instantly rejuvenated skin. The treatment encourages cell renewal for a refreshed appearance. Meanwhile the vacuum action encourages the lymphatic drainage process. This reduces sebum levels and prevents acne.  MD also prepares the skin for shaving because bacteria and debris stuck around the beard can be removed from the skin. It allows for a closer shave and a reduced risk of ingrown hairs and razor burns.

SkinBase Collagen Lift 

This is a powerful, effective treatment. It is an excellent alternative to invasive treatments that require a long-term focus due to downtime. When promoting CL for men, think about how a treatment can benefit the skin.
During treatment, a ceramic handset circles across the skin.  This gives powerful waves of radio frequency energy. The energy penetrates deep into the skin in the form of heat which  triggers an instant healing response. The response floods the treatment area with new collagen to rejuvenate the skin. It boosts Hyaluronic Acid and elastin at the same time. Skin hydrates and benefits from a more even skin tone.

SkinBase IPL

This hard-working and effective treatment is suitable for a range of skin concerns that affect men.  When you promote IPL for men, think about how a treatment can instantly benefit their skin.
During an IPL treatment, wavelengths of light target the skin. The lights penetrate to the second layer of skin to treat problems like acne and unwanted hair. During an IPL acne treatment, different coloured lights target skin to solve a specific problem. The red light targets the overactive sebaceous glands, minimising oil production. The yellow and green lights destroy bacteria and boost collagen within the skin to heal acne symptoms.

Testimonial: “JC was so low, suicidal at points. Sore, red, angry, his skin was awful, we had tried everything and doctors you name it. We reached out to Becky, who was wonderful. My son was quiet and withdrawn, lacked confidence and self esteem, and locked himself away from the world. Becky booked us in for a consultation to discuss different options of treatments and we decided the new hydro treatment would be the best option. We started the course and JC was nervous but Becky was great with him talking him through everything, step by step! As we went each time JC’s skin got better and better, but also the difference in him was huge, he was gaining confidence, shoulders back, head held high. We have watched his skin change from this red, aggressive, angry skin that was sore, acne was debilitating to him but now he is confident, holds his head up high and has even got his first job! We are so proud. When we met Becky I felt confident she would help us get his skin better and back on track but what has actually happened is skin looks amazing but to see our son gain confidence has been the biggest win! Teens often get pushed aside, put on string meds and told “it’s just your age” but this isn’t what they want to hear, but The SkinBase treatments Becky has done has changed his life! We cannot thank you enough Becky! JC is continuing with the treatments as it still gets the odd breakouts but the scarring is still improving week in week out. The hydro Facial is just amazing and we cannot recommend it enough and of course Becky and her passion for skin and helping people is wonderful!”
