The skin uses the light as a source of energy to fuel the repair and rejuvenation of damaged cells, or, in the case of treating acne, kill bacteria. The energy stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, boosts circulation and accelerates tissue repair. 

 1) Men Produce More Oil

Testosterone is both a blessing and a curse, and when it comes to skin, thanks to our testosterone levels, men will produce more oil. In general, when not properly cleaned, oil will lead to clogged pores, blackheads, and finally pimples. Working with a professional for facials will not only help improve your skin’s health, but a professional will also identify your skin type and the best care for it.

2) Sun Damaged Skin

When asking our clients how often they wear sunscreen, the most common answers are “usually during the summer” or “if I’m going in the pool.” Do you know how often you should apply sunscreen? Every. Single. Day. Men are far less likely to wear sunscreen than women, and their skin pays for it. A facial can repair some of this damage by replenishing collagen, giving your face a more youthful look.

3) A Smoother Shave

It’s no secret: dragging a razor blade across your face irritates your skin, or what is better known as razor burn. Razor burn can cause inflammation and little red bumps, which is exactly what you don’t want if you’re looking for a close shave. A facial will help exfoliate and moisturize skin getting rid of those bumps and healing that red irritated skin. You will be left with smooth, clear skin that won’t be agitated by your next shave.

Reflexology, although it's often combined

with massage, is technically not a form of massage. It's a separate practice that applies pressure to reflex zones on your feet, hands or outer ears to affect your entire body. ... Simply, it's an area connected to other parts of your body. 

Deep Tissue is the manipulation of the deeper layers of muscle and soft tissues in the body. The massage therapist uses warm oils and direct pressure to relax the top layer of muscle in order to reach deeper layers of the muscle tissue. Many people get a deep tissue massage to help relieve chronic aches and pain. 

As the best-known type of bodywork performed today, one of the primary goals of the Swedish massage technique is to relax the entire body. This is accomplished by rubbing the muscles with long gliding strokes in the direction of blood returning to the heart. But Swedish massage therapy goes beyond relaxation. 

Therapeutic massage is a general term that describes any type of massage modality that helps relieve pain, reduce stress, and work on a specific problem—such as a frozen shoulder. People tend to assume therapeutic massage means deep tissue massage, and that they will get a very strong massage.
