While most skincare products and services are marketed to women, microdermabrasion procedures are becoming increasingly popular with men. Men want to keep their skin as fresh and imperfection free as women. Get painless and quick microdermabrasion treatments for men to maintain your skin's elasticity and look.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Read about professional microdermabrasion treatments. Learn the difference between diamond and crystal microdermabrasion procedures. Decide on the type of treatment that appeals to you most.

  2. Step 2

    Call dermatologists' offices for quotes on microdermabrasion treatments. Set up consultation appointments. Dermatologists use these appointments to inspect your skin, discuss your concerns and desire for treatment, and to propose a course of treatment.

  3. Step 3

    Inquire about microdermabrasion packages at spas. Some spas offer microdermabrasion packages and services specifically for men. If you request spa microdermabrasion packages, you may be able to customize your services by choosing the types of masculine fragrances used on your skin during treatments. Spa packages for men may also run at lower prices than packages for women.

  4. Step 4

    Buy home microdermabrasion products to use in between professional treatments. While some home microdermabrasion products are marketed to men, most home microdermabrasion products contain the same ingredients. Look in the health and beauty sections of stores to find products to use in the comfort of your own home.

  5. Step 5

    Maintain microdermabrasion treatments by regularly protecting your skin. Wear sunscreen that is at least SPF 30 daily. Follow all instructions given to you by dermatologists or spa agents.

Tips & Warnings
  • The number of microdermabrasion treatments you may need to see results depends on the condition of your skin. Discuss the number and regularity of treatments you should undergo with dermatologists or spa agents.
  • Only have microdermabrasion procedures done if you are 16 or over. Microdermabrasion results on males younger than 16 can be affected by natural hormonal changes in the body.
  • Choose your shaving products wisely. Products that contain ingredients with menthol, alcohol, potassium, mint, camphor and sodium hydroxide can irritate masculine skin and undermine microdermabrasion treatments.
