THE BEST ANTI-AGING COMBINATIONS FOR MEN
Men can age gracefully with the right tools. Here are the top two recommendations to keep men looking as handsome as ever.
Audrey Bolema, founder of Raw Rituale Med Spa, and Kenna Gilstrap, founder of Beauty Candy Aesthetics, share their years of experience and secrets on treating the men in their lives.
Typically, men prefer maintenance treatments that require minimal upkeep and deliver significant results. For these reasons, Raw Rituale and Beauty Candy recommend a simple combination of IPL (Intense Pulse Light) and neurotoxins, such as Botox. These treatments, performed quarterly, offer zero downtime and quick, noticeable results.
James McCandless, a devoted client of Raw Rituale and Beauty Candy, is a big fan of this treatment. “The combination of IPL and Botox hits all of the things I’m looking for, from the sunspots I get on the golf course to the wrinkles that sneak up after 40.”
BEST LASER TREATMENT FOR MEN
Audrey recommends a series of IPL treatments to help clear out red and brown spots from the skin. “Many men embrace the Colorado lifestyle by golfing, hiking, or skiing. They aren’t always diligent with sunscreen, which can quickly lead to sunspots on their face and body.”
BENEFITS OF IPL FOR MEN
IPL photorejuvenation therapy is a great option for men to quickly clear out sun and environmental damage from the face, neck, chest, or hands. This treatment is quick, has minimal downtime, and is fairly comfortable, resulting in much brighter, more even-toned skin. The removal of sun damage from the tissue can yield dramatic results, often after just one treatment.
IPL also targets red pigmentation, making it effective for men with rosacea and reducing unsightly blood vessels around the nose and cheeks caused by sun or wind damage.
IPL sessions typically last 15-20 minutes, depending on the targeted spots. “We usually recommend two to three treatments about three to four weeks apart for optimal results. About four to five days after a treatment, patients can expect minor ‘coffee ground-like’ scabs where the brown pigmented lesions are being pulled to the surface. These will naturally fall off after they start forming, which is a natural result of skin exfoliation,” explains Audrey.
SKINCARE FOR MEN
For the purest skincare routines, Audrey suggests a pharmaceutical-grade facial cleanser, Vitamin C, moisturizer, and SPF. “If we are simplifying the amount of skincare steps, each product needs to make the most impact at a cellular level of the tissue - and you only receive this from pharmaceutical-grade products.”
Raw Rituale carries several skincare lines, including Alastin, iS Clinical, and Face Reality. Each line offers a wide variety of options to address any skin type (oily, dry) and skin concerns (rosacea, sun damage, large pores). They will customize a routine that caters to the simplest or the most sophisticated needs.
BOTOX FOR MEN
“Men also tend to have stronger facial muscles, which can lead to deeper wrinkles in the forehead and around the eyes,” points out Kenna Gilstrap.
Botox is a neuromodulator, temporarily relaxing muscles by blocking nerve signals. Injected in small doses, it softens the appearance of wrinkles and lines, creating a smoother, more youthful look. Contrary to popular belief, conservative dosing of Botox doesn’t fully paralyze facial muscles. It preserves the appearance of the face in a more relaxed state while still allowing for various facial expressions.
NATURAL-LOOKING RESULTS FOR MEN USING BOTOX
Gone are the days of the “frozen face” often associated with Botox. Kenna and Beauty Candy’s skilled injectors prioritize a natural look, tailoring treatment plans to each individual’s unique needs and aesthetic goals. “Men can achieve subtle improvements that enhance their appearance without sacrificing their natural expressions.”
WHERE DO MEN TYPICALLY GET BOTOX INJECTED?

- Between the eyebrows to target frown lines
- Forehead to reduce creases
- Around the mouth to target laugh lines
THE BENEFITS OF BOTOX TREATMENTS FOR MEN
Botox can also be beneficial for:
Excessive sweating: Botox injections block nerve signals to sweat glands in targeted areas like underarms, palms, and even the scalp, providing long-lasting relief.
Chin Botox: Treats the mentalis muscle in the chin area, reducing the texture resembling an orange peel and diminishing undesired lines. It can also enhance the chin, contributing to a more defined jawline.
Jawline sculpting (Masseter Botox): Botox injections in the masseter muscles slim and define the jawline, creating a more chiseled appearance.
Migraine relief Studies have shown Botox to be an effective preventive treatment for chronic migraines.
Reduced teeth grinding: Botox injected into the jaw muscles can help manage bruxism, preventing damage and associated jaw pain.
