Aesthetic treatments for men in Northwest Indiana

Looking exhausted on every video call isn’t a personality trait — it’s a fixable thing. Straightforward treatments, published pricing, private rooms. Nobody will know. They’ll just think you slept.

Why men come in

The three complaints we hear most

About one in five Lakeshore clients is a man. Steel-mill managers, trial attorneys, contractors, sales guys who live on camera — and more than a few whose wives booked the first appointment without asking. None of them walk in wanting to look different. They want to stop looking tired, beat-up, or older than the guy they report to.

The plan is built the same way for everyone: a physician-directed assessment, conservative numbers, and the honest version of what will and won’t work. If a $30 drugstore retinol will do more for your skin than a $600 treatment, that’s exactly what we’ll tell you.

  • You look wiped out on video calls — even after a full night’s sleep — because your brow has settled into a permanent scowl
  • Razor burn and ingrown hairs on your neck and back that have annoyed you since high school
  • The pocket below the belt line that 5 a.m. workouts and clean eating refuse to touch
  • Acne scarring from your twenties that never faded on its own
What men book here

Five treatments, no spa fluff

Same medical team, same FDA-approved devices — the dosing and the goals are just calibrated for men.

Brotox (Botox for men)

Same product, different math: men’s brow and forehead muscles are stronger, so a typical male dose runs 30–50 units where many women need 20–40. At $12 per unit, plan on $360–$600 every three to four months. Dosed right, you keep every expression — you just lose the scowl.

How Brotox works

Laser hair removal — back, chest & neck

Stop shaving your back the night before vacation. A full back runs from $249 per session or $1,245 for the six-session package; neck sessions end razor burn and ingrowns for good. Six visits, each about as uncomfortable as a snapped rubber band.

Laser details & areas

Body contouring

Cryolipolysis freezes the stubborn pocket below the navel that ignores your deadlift numbers. Abdomen plans run 2–4 applicators, $1,300–$2,600 total. It is not a weight-loss tool — if there’s more than a pinch to work with, we’ll tell you straight and save you the money.

Body contouring explained

HydraFacial

Thirty-five minutes, $199, zero downtime, zero products to remember afterward. Deep-cleans the skin you’ve been washing with bar soap since 1998. Book it the week before headshots, a wedding, or a deposition.

What a HydraFacial does

Microneedling for acne scars

The fix for scarring you’ve carried since your twenties. Classic sessions from $295, RF microneedling from $595, usually in a series of three. Expect a few days of looking mildly sunburned — most men schedule Friday afternoons and are presentable by Monday.

The question behind the question

How discreet is it, really?

Most men don’t ask this out loud, so here’s the answer up front.

And the results themselves are the most discreet part. Conservative dosing means the change reads as “slept eight hours” — not “had work done.” Nobody will know. They’ll just think you slept.

Straight answers

Questions men actually ask

Will I look weird?

Not if it’s dosed for your face. The “shiny frozen forehead” look comes from over-treating — we under-treat on purpose and offer a free two-week follow-up to add a few units if you want more. Worst realistic outcome of conservative dosing: not enough happened. That’s correctable. The opposite isn’t.

Does anyone actually do this? Like, men around here?

Roughly one in five of our clients is a man, and it’s the fastest-growing slice of the practice. Mill supervisors, attorneys, realtors, guys in sales who spend half their day on camera. You will not be the first man on our schedule this week — you probably won’t be the first one today.

How long does an appointment take?

Brotox is about 20 minutes door to door — men book it on a lunch break. A HydraFacial runs about 35 minutes. Laser sessions for the back take 30–45 minutes. Body contouring is the long one: 35–60 minutes per applicator, and you can answer email the whole time.

What if I hate it?

Botox isn’t permanent — it fades completely in three to four months, and conservative dosing means there’s rarely anything to hate. For everything else we start with the smallest sensible plan rather than the biggest package. And some of this isn’t for everyone: if you’re hoping contouring replaces weight loss, or expecting laser to work well on very light hair, we’ll tell you no before you spend a dollar.

Why do men need more Botox units than women?

Muscle mass. The muscles that pull your brow into a scowl are simply bigger and stronger in most men, so relaxing them takes more product — typically 30–50 units versus 20–40. It’s why a “$199 Botox special” rarely means what a man thinks it means. We quote the real number up front.
