CoolSculpting®
Achieve toned abs with a CoolSculpting treatment in San Ramon. CoolSculpting is a cryolipolysis treatment that freezes and breaks down fat. The treatment removes belly fat, love handles, back fat, and even submental fat, which creates the appearance of a double chin.
Liposuction
Is your heavy workout routine not working for you? Remove stubborn fat with a liposuction treatment. Liposuction is performed using a cannula to suction excess fat. Results will reveal the lean and fit physique you have been dreaming of.
Male Breast Reduction
Gynecomastia is a medical condition where men have excess breast tissue. Unlike fat, excess breast tissue will not react to heavy exercise. Enlarged breasts, or “man boobs,” can cause distress and low confidence in men. Male breast reduction can be performed to bring back the chest to its normal size.
Facelift
Men are no strangers to wrinkles and sagging skin. A facelift procedure can correct loose skin on the middle and lower parts of the face to achieve a younger look. During the procedure, the underlying tissues will be lifted to restore facial contours.
Eyelid Surgery
Eyelid surgery can be performed to restore the original position of the eyelids. This will help patients look more energetic with lifted eyes.
Sagging skin can also affect how eyelids function in our daily activities. Tasks that rely heavily on vision like reading, driving, and even walking can be obstructed by sagging eyelids. Eyelid surgery can effectively restore one’s field of vision.
MiraDry®
Men sweat more than women due to higher levels of testosterone. If your antiperspirant is not doing its job, you may have hyperhidrosis.
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition where patients experience excessive sweating. Symptoms include soaked clothing for no apparent reason, problems holding items with your hand due to palm sweat, or sweating while sleeping. If not treated immediately, this can lead to skin infections in the areas where you sweat the most.
MiraDry® is a non-invasive treatment that uses microwave energy to permanently eliminate sweat glands. This treatment is FDA-approved to reduce excessive sweat and body odor.
Skin Care
More men tend to have excess oil in their skin, which can be a source of skin problems like acne and other skin impurities. Our selection of skincare products and treatments can help remove impurities and rejuvenate the skin. We also offer treatments for removing hyperpigmentation, age spots, rosacea, and more.
Laser Hair Removal
Shaving can cause persistent acne on the skin. Our laser hair removal treatment can help stop hair growth in the treated area. Results are long-lasting and in some cases permanent.
CoolTone
The CoolTone system is FDA-approved to tone and strengthen the abdominal, buttock, and thigh muscles. In a 30-minute session, the muscles in the treated area create 20,000 muscle contractions. One session of CoolTone for the abs is equivalent to doing 20,000 sit-ups!

Men’s Procedures FAQs
Cosmetic procedures vary between men and women based on their different body structures and goals.
Men’s treatments focus on sculpting and defining, while women’s treatments might add or remove volume to create a balanced, youthful look. Differences in skin type and where fat is stored on the body also play a role in deciding the best approach for each person.
Liposuction for men typically focuses on areas where stubborn fat accumulates despite diet and exercise. Common targets include the abdomen, flanks (also known as love handles), chest, neck, and chin areas. This procedure aims to refine these areas, providing a more contoured and toned appearance.
Gynecomastia, or the enlargement of breast tissue in men, can manifest in two forms: glandular and fatty. Glandular gynecomastia is characterized by the growth of firm breast gland tissue, often due to hormonal imbalances.
On the other hand, fatty gynecomastia results from an accumulation of excess fatty tissue and is usually linked to overall body fat increase. The treatment for each varies; fatty gynecomastia may be effectively treated with liposuction, whereas glandular gynecomastia typically requires surgical removal of the glandular tissue.
