Men's facial Treatments: Types, Benefits, & Other Considerations

Facials are a common treatment at medical spas, like Flycatcher, that offer numerous health benefits for men. Facial treatments for men can help remove impurities, unclog pores, and improve the overall appearance and texture of the skin. Additionally, regular facials can help boost collagen production (especially when combined with chemical peels), reduce the signs of aging, and promote healthy circulation.

Oh, and you'll look sexy as hell for your partner.

While some may view facials as a luxury treatment, they can actually be an important part of a healthy skincare routine for both men and women.

Here's what's included in Flycatcher's Gentlemen's Essential facial:

  • Double face cleanse
  • Exfoliation
  • Pore extractions
  • Hydration or clay mask
  • Essential serums, moisturizer, sunscreen
  • Nose hair, ear hair, brow cleanup

Our Gentlemen's Elite facial includes a facial massage and scalp treatment along with the steps listed above.

Best Types of Facials for Men

The best type of facial for you will depend on your personal skin care goals, your unique skin type, and any skin conditions you may have. More on this in a minute.
 
But first, it's important to understand that every medspa will do things a little differently and utilize different devices and combination treatments. There really is no "best" facial treatment for men.
 
As a starting point, it is important to choose a practice and provider that you are comfortable with and that puts you at ease. After all, you should look forward to your regular facial treatment- this isn't like going to the dentist! Hopefully Flycatcher is that place for you- we've worked hard to create an environment and experience specifically for men.
 
You may want to consider the location of the practice as well. Hopefully, you will be diligent about getting your facials every four to six weeks. This will be more convenient if the practice is nearby.

More Common questions about men's facials

How much does a facial typically cost? How long is the treatment?

Our Gentlemen's Essential is priced at $120 and is a 45-minute treatment. The Gentlemen's Elite is a 60-minute treatment priced at $150.

Our pricing is competitive with other medspas for comparable treatments. Adding other devices into the mix, like a Hydrafacial, can bump up the price into the $300 range.

At Flycatcher, clients can add a chemical peel to their facial for an additional $75.

How often should a man get a facial?

Now that you know the benefits of getting a facial and the different types of treatments available, you may be wondering how often should a man get a facial treatment.

Generally, it's recommended to get a facial every four to six weeks to maintain healthy skin and see the best results. However, the frequency may vary depending on your personal skincare goals and skin type.

As a member of Flycatcher's Patrons Club, you may want to get our Gentlemen's Essential every month and then combine that with a chemical peel treatment every other month and a microneedling treatment every six months.

It's best to have our providers develop a treatment plan for you based on your unique needs. Then stick to the plan! That also means being consistent at home with your skin care regimen.

Is there any recovery or downtime required?

One common concern with any aesthetic treatment – especially amongst men – is whether there is any recovery or downtime required. The good news is that most facial treatments, including those for men, require little to no downtime.

You'll walk out looking and feeling like a million bucks ready to conquer the world. Maybe with a little redness if you included a chemical peel but even that won't last long.

That said, it is important to follow any aftercare instructions from your provider to ensure optimal results. That may include keeping your sexy face out of direct sunlight for a few hours. 

What about skin of color? Anything to consider?

For the fairest to the darkest of skin, there really aren't any concerns related to a basic facial treatment. This is a very superficial treatment.  

Can I get a facial with a beard? Should I shave before a men's facial?

You can absolutely enjoy a men's facial treatment with a beard. Each of our facials includes a beard treatment- just keep the length to under 1/2". We'll get in there with a cleanser and exfoliator and finish with a nice beard oil. 
 
There's no reason to shave your facial hair if you maintain a beard or stache. You may just want to trim and sharpen the edges around your cheeks and neckline first.
 
Our esthetician will work around your facial hair when it comes to extracting your pores and applying a mud mask.
 

What about men's facials for dry skin? Oily skin? Is treatment different?

 Our esthetician will follow the basic steps of our facial treatments but will utilize the cleansers, exfoliators, masks, and other serums that are best for your unique skin, whether dry, oily, or combination.
