Lately, we see a larger proportion of men in for laser rejuvenation services, BROtox (male Botox), and rejuvenation treatments in our office. The treatments are effective with little or no downtime.
The main advantage for men having injections with BROtox and fillers is that it’s fast, effective and it provides a natural, young, masculine look with no downtime.
Men are often more prone to developing lines around the upper face and brow area due to stress and normal aging. Botox helps minimize the wrinkles in the face, including the forehead, between and around the eyes, as well as frown lines.
The treatment involves tiny, painless injections of Botox into the main facial muscles, thereby relaxing them.
Botox is a muscle relaxant diminishing wrinkles, improving the look of tired eyes, and angry facial expressions. This helps create a more youthful, refreshed, masculine look. The results last many months.
Facial fillers for men are becoming as popular as Botox for men because of the fabulous immediate result with no downtime. Men seem to get especially good results from the contouring under the eyes with fillers. The dark hollows under the eyes are instantly transformed. The fold or deep crease from the nose to the side of the mouth (nasolabial fold) can be rejuvenated nicely. The frown furrows or wrinkles between the eyes correct within seconds. Because fillers are so easy to mold, they are used for creases in the ears, chin area and acne scars, too.
Women aren’t the only ones who are affected by aging. Men are just as susceptible to lines, scarring, sun damage, and other irregularities of skin texture and tone. Resurfacing treatments are effective facial treatments for men.
The face, especially around the eyes and mouth, is the most noticeable area where wrinkles and damage occur. Dr. Kelly Burkenstock has trained with international luminaries and offers a brilliant solution to these issues: facial laser resurfacing for men.
Laser resurfacing treatment is a safe, non-invasive procedure that generates new collagen and skin cells to improve skin texture, tone, wrinkles, and pigmentation.
Facial laser resurfacing as a face treatment for men is available in light, medium, and deep treatments and can be customized to meet your specific skin conditions and needs.
Laser resurfacing with BBL/IPL/PPIX not only reduces lines and wrinkles but is used to treat a wide variety of skin conditions that afflict thousands of men, including:
Laser resurfacing improves skin texture and brightens the complexion by removing a thin layer of damaged skin, for immediate improvement in texture, tone, and color evenness.
For forehead creases and brow furrows, UV damage and pigmentation, a non-surgical men’s facial option is just a call away. Make an appointment for a consultation to determine which laser facial resurfacing treatment is the best for your skin type.
Dr. Kelly Burkenstock offers men’s facial treatments for men who want to look their best without having to undergo a facelift or any other type of surgery. She is able to help you achieve a younger-looking appearance using proven laser resurfacing procedures. These techniques have revolutionized the cosmetic industry and make it possible for you to achieve long-lasting results and a younger, more “refreshed” look. People will wonder, “What’s his secret?” and only you will know the truth! Non-surgical procedures can yield very natural and graceful results. Make an appointment today!
As men get older, their testosterone and hormone levels start to decline. This causes significant changes in the body, including low energy, weight gain, difficulty sleeping, and loss of libido. Some men may become moody and lose their zest for life; others experience a decrease in muscle mass, stamina, and erectile changes. Testosterone as well as other hormones help alleviate these symptoms and are felt to decrease the risk of many diseases associated with aging, heart disease, osteoporosis, stroke, and senility.
Male menopause can cause physical, sexual, and psychological problems. They typically worsen as you get older.
Testosterone hormone replacement therapy will not totally reverse aging. The goal of natural hormone therapy is to maintain sound levels of hormones to alleviate symptoms. The benefits of BHRT include increased energy, enhanced focus, mood and memory, weight loss, improved sleeping and rejuvenated libido, and erectile performance in most cases.
Dr. Burkenstock has undergone extensive training in diagnosing, treating, monitoring, and adjusting hormone levels for both men and women. Hormone levels are tested, then testosterone, as well as other deficient sex hormones, are prescribed according to a client’s individual needs.
Effects include increased energy, weight loss, improved sleeping, enhanced libido, vitality, and performance.
Many of the commonly prescribed synthetic hormones introduce foreign substances that may produce toxic by-products which may prove to promote disease and cancers.
BHRT (natural hormones) are thought to be safer and free from many of the risks associated with older synthetic hormones, although studies and further research are needed. Bioidentical hormones may be safer and more effective because they are biologically identical to the molecular structure of the hormones naturally found in your body. More studies on compounded bioidentical hormones are forthcoming.
Below is a partial list of hormones typically tested and reviewed for bioidentical testosterone hormone replacement therapy :
We see a larger proportion of men in for laser treatments in our office. It could be the high-tech nature of the treatments or just the fact that they are effective with little or no downtime.
It is sometimes hard to tell how many treatments you might need in advance. Hair develops in phases, and we can only treat hair in its active, visible stage. Therefore, the number of treatments depends on how quickly the untreated hairs appear. For significant clearance, most men require a course of 4-6 treatments, which are spaced at least 6-8 weeks apart.
Patients will feel a series of short snaps, somewhat like a rubber band snapping. Treatment times vary depending, of course, on the size and number of areas.
The beauty of this technology is that it effectively destroys the hair itself without harming the surrounding skin. You may be a little red afterward, but that typically goes away in a matter of hours.
Everyone asks if it is permanent. Yes, it is totally permanent. The hair we treat with the laser will not grow back, and patients can expect an 85 percent reduction in hair after 4-6 treatments. As we age, our hair patterns change, so this does not prevent the possibility of new hair growth over the years.
The most popular laser procedure for men is actually laser hair removal. The most common area is the back, although other areas of the face and body are popular as well.
Laser hair removal is most effective for black, brown, and dark red hair colors. Laser technology can not treat lighter hair colors such as blonde, gray, or white hair follicles.

The erectile dysfunction PRP (Power Shot) uses safe, pain-free injections of a patient’s own platelet-rich plasma to rejuvenate the penis and stimulate new tissue growth, resulting in improved erections that are larger, firmer, and more frequent. Dr. Burkenstock is one of the few leading-edge physicians offering patients this innovative new treatment that promises to improve sexual function and satisfaction for patients and their partners.
This procedure helps men struggling with erectile dysfunction achieve firmer, stronger, and larger erections. This revolutionary treatment uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from the patient’s own body to rejuvenate damaged and aged tissue. Because the platelet-rich plasma comes from your own body, it is more effective and more natural than other erectile dysfunction treatments.
Dr. Burkenstock has successfully performed the Power Shot procedure on men of all ages and walks of life. You are an excellent candidate for the Power Shot procedure if:
Hair loss can be a troubling and sensitive issue whether it is due to genetics, stress, or a medical condition.
PRP hair restoration is an exciting non-surgical therapeutic option for clients who require stimulation of hair growth for all types of hair loss conditions.
PRP can effectively stimulate a renewed blood supply and proper nutrients to run-down and damaged hair follicles, which can work to restore the hair growth process. The renewed growth helps to fill in areas of receding or thinning hair. PRP is a natural serum derived directly from your own cells to initiate regeneration.
Injections of PRP allow us to obtain a deeper penetration of PRP into the scalp, thereby amplifying hair restoration capabilities. PRP can be combined with other ingredients and nutrients to dramatically improve hair regrowth.
With a tiny needle, your own Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) plus nutrients are injected into the scalp. Then the growth factors in your blood cells do their job, and hair growth is naturally stimulated.
The end result is a fuller, healthier-looking head of hair. Multiple sessions may be needed to obtain the desired result. This treatment is ideal for anyone with thinning hair, and any type of hair.
A series of three treatments every six weeks is required for optimal results. A maintenance treatment every six months is recommended to maintain the desired results.
A laser light cap is offered for home use to enhance the hair regrowth result. In addition, certain hair supplements will be recommended to support hair growth.
Growth factors are harvested in the Platelet-Rich Plasma which are beneficial in hair growth and restoration, and they have anti-aging benefits as well.
