Sun spots, which are also known as liver spots or age spots, are a common skin condition that can impact both men and women. It’s no secret that men and women have a lot of differences when it comes to their skin, and we want to ensure that our male clients know what to look for and what to expect if they do have sun spots that they want to have removed. In this article, we’ll review some of the skin areas where it is common to see sun spots on men and provide some tips for sun spot removal aftercare for males.
Men tend to have skin that is thicker and oilier than women’s, but they are still at risk of developing sun spots. Your hands, shoulders, and face are all likely to receive more regular sun exposure than the rest of your body, so these are the most common areas for sun spots to develop. It’s strongly recommended that men and women alike use sunscreen daily to help prevent sun spots and other skin concerns. Wearing broad-brimmed hats, work gloves, and protective clothing that helps block harmful UV rays is also advised, especially if you spend a great deal of time outside.
Proper aftercare is essential for healing if you decide to undergo sun spot removal treatments. Men have the added concern of facial hair and naturally oilier skin to contend with, so it’s important to take precautions that ensure you are not agitating the treated area. Use extra caution when you shave to help prevent razor bumps, opting for a fresh razor blade and using a gentle shaving cream that won’t irritate your sensitive skin. Gentle skin cleansers and moisturizers can help soothe the area and keep it clean, and it is extra important to use sun protection after a sun spot removal treatment. Avoid picking at the area or wearing clothing that is scratchy and do your best to drink plenty of water so that your body and skin stay well hydrated.
