His (and Hers) Grooming Guide

Think of all the time and thought that goes into dolling up for your wedding day! As a bride-to-be, you’re fully aware of how much elbow grease it takes. Grooms, on the other hand, are often clueless about grooming. How ironic.

What better way to help him get through the scary and mysterious grooming process than by showing moral support. Our guide makes it easy to nudge him towards a more presentable state by allowing you to join in on the grooming process. Solidarity—guys like that.

His (and Hers) Gadgets

Though he loves a clean shave, he doesn’t indulge in one as often as he likes—ahem, or should we say, as often as you like. But don’t write him off as slovenly. Under a man’s beard the skin is as sensitive as women’s. Running sharp blades across it every morning certainly does no favors. Luckily a gadget can deliver a smooth (and painless) shave for every special event leading up to your big day.

The Clarisonic brush pushes his cleanser deeper and removes dead skin cells. As a result of smoother skin, he can shave closer, avoid ingrown hairs, and say goodbye to razor rash. Join him in the quest for smoother skin. The Clarisonic is a much-loved beauty tool among women and men alike.

His (and Hers) Laser Hair Removal

Is your guy (read: you) tired of the upkeep that manly body hair requires? Does thinning his chest hair or eliminating his back hair mean that he (read: you) have to awkwardly grapple with trimmers? Perhaps the mere thought of hitting the pool-side on your honeymoon sends panic down his (read: your) spine?

He (and you) will be pleased to hear that hair removal is no longer restricted to the world of women. More and more men opt for laser hair removal to permanently obliterate body hair. The best-loved procedure at BodyLase is the complete removal of unsightly back fur. Join him and permanently reduce unwanted body hair too.


His (and Hers) Massages

So he’s come this far, has he? After putting up with lasers and exfoliating contraptions, you’re probably thinking he deserves a pat on the back. But wait. We’ll do you one better. We’ve got a reward that’ll help him completely unwind after the stressful grooming process.

Our Relaxation Massage Therapy can calm his nerves and relieve any tension. Join in on the peace-inducing fun by enjoying a massage too! Pressure can be as firm as you need and as soft as he needs.

Skincare Basics

You’ll need a long-term plan chock-full of skin nutrition, skincare habits and products that are perfectly suited to your skintype. Skincare is not realm where the one-solution-fits-all mantra reigns supreme. Got fine wrinkles? Need hydration? Have clog-prone pores?

Hair Removal

Laser hair removals and wedding bells go hand in hand—this much is certain. Smooth underarms are a must for the big day just as smooth bikini lines are ideal for honeymoon getaways. It’s such a natural pairing that the timing of laser hair removal treatments is often overlooked. Many make the mistake of leaving hair removal sessions to the very last minute. But if you want to be perfectly hair-free, you should schedule enough time for around 4-7 sessions. Are you a laser hair removal rookie? Here are some more essential laser hair removal tips.

Skin Rejuvenation

When basic skincare and great nutrition aren’t enough, there are rejuvenating facials. So the only skincare mystery left is – Which facial is right for you? At BodyLase, we look for the answer in your skin. Is it begging you to fend off fine wrinkles? Is it screaming for acne-scar or broken capillary correction? Is it pleading for improved texture and tone? Whatever it needs, a specific facial can deliver. Come in for a free consultation to find out if IPL photofacials, laser facials, microdermabrasion, or corrective skin peels are right for you.

Feathery Lashes

Brides want that my-face-at-its-very-best look on their wedding day. Nothing over-the-top, just your own natural beauty. So why fake those lashes with extensions, mascara, and falsies when you can flaunt your own luscious lashes? Latisse gives you all the volume, definition and length a girl could ever want. It’s such an effective way to enhance those eyes that it’s become so popular with bride-to-be. But many make the mistake of committing to the Latisse routine way too late in the game. Nurture and grow your lashes well before your wedding day so that your expressive eyes will speak volumes. While results can appear just after 2-3 weeks, optimal length and volume occur after 3 months of use.

Beautiful Smile

What’s the most important wedding day accessory? It can sum up your feelings without a single word. It can make your groom weak at the knees. It’ll also show up in every wedding photo.
Your smile. So after you get your teeth whitened, don’t forget to pamper all that frames your beautiful pearly whites. Smile-induced wrinkles can easily add years and unwanted phantom emotions to your wedding day grin. Marionette lines and crow’s feet can be erased with Botox, while deep tear troughs and lip wrinkles can be tempered with dermal fillers.

Plump Up

A little added oomph—it’s what fillers can give your lips. Thanks to the natural results of hyaluronic fillers like Juvederm, lip plumping for brides is becoming more and more common. Some choose to redefine thinned lips while others add a little bounce to small lips. But whatever you do, don’t forget to schedule a wedding makeup test-run after your treatment. Fuller lips might not need as much gloss. And newly defined lips might not require so much lipstick. Come in to find out how we can perfect your pout for your big day.

1 to 3 months in advance

Refreshing Facial

There’s no better way to unwind on the day before your wedding than a with facial. A perfect pre-wedding pick-me-up. But the type of facial is key! The goal of a pre-wedding day facial is achieve a glow, not to overhaul or correct the skin. So remember to stay far away from facials that could cause redness and peeling. And steer clear of all facials requiring down time. Trade them for gentle facials with minimal exfoliation, if any. All you want from pre-wedding day facial is a moment to hydrate your skin and relax your mind.

Do This Before Your Laser Hair Removal Session

You’ll be forgiven if you associate laser hair removal with summers and tans. When the air is balmy and bikinis are on the mind, many start dreaming of being hair-free. Truth is hair removal isn’t just for the bare-it-all days of summer! Here are some essential reasons why you should start laser hair removal in the winter. Read on and find out how you could maximize your laser hair removal results.

How does laser hair removal work?

At BodyLase, we feature the ProWave and Alexandrite lasers (perfect for a wide range of lighter skin tones) and the Cutera Coolglide™ 1064nm Nd:Yag laser (the gold standard for darker skin tones and tanned skin). All of these lasers send out high beams of pulsating light at a certain wavelength that passes through your skin to accurately target the pigment in your hair follicles. The pulsating light causes those hair follicles to vaporize. This, as a result, destroys the hair follicle’s ability to produce hair so that you are set to live hair free!

Hair grows in cycles: it actively grows (anagen cycle), it transitions into a resting phase (catagen cycle), and then it rests for a period before shedding (telogen cycle). The length of a hair follicle’s growth cycle varies across the different body regions. On your scalp it can average around 3-4 years, while your eyelashes’ growth cycle averages about 3 months. It’s also important to note that human hair growth is not synchronized. This means that on any given body region at any given time, the range of hair follicles will be in various growth stages.

The hair follicles most effectively targeted by laser hair removal are the ones that are in the active phase of their growth cycle, which is when they carry the highest concentration of pigment. Hair follicles in other phases — like catagen or telogen phases — might not be as effectively targeted. This is why patients usually undergo a series of hair removal treatments for smooth, permanent results.

What does laser hair removal feel like?

Laser hair removal feels like a light rubberband snap. Many of our patients describe this as tolerable, temporary sensation. To maximize your comfort, we use ChillTip™ technology to cool your skin before and after each pulsation. Most of our patients undergo sessions without any painkillers or topical creams.

What happens after a session?

After a laser hair treatment, many patients see that all their hair is shed. The hair that grows back after a treatment are the hairs that were not in the anagen stage during the first treatment. Experts say that about 5-10% of the hair not in the anagen stage at any given point. So with each treatment, you will be get closer and closer to becoming completely hair free.

Essential Laser Hair Removal Tips

  • Prepare for the summer by starting laser hair removal early in the year. Because hairs grow in non-synchronized growth cycles and because laser hair removal targets hairs in the active phase, you’ll undergo a series of hair removal sessions to be completely smooth. Winter is the perfect time to begin your journey of getting permanently hair-free!
  • Skip tanning before your laser hair removal appointments. Many associate last hair removal with summers and tans. However laser hair removal is most effective when you are not yet tan. When you are pale, the laser can more effectively target the pigment in your hair follicles.
  • In between laser treatments, you should not wax, epilate, or pluck. Why? Well laser hair removal treatments are usually spaced anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks depending on your treatment region. Removing hairs by the root during this period will not give it enough time to return to the anagen phase. So in between treatments, in order to optimize your permanent hair removal results, be sure to restrict yourself to your razor.

Close Shave? Exactly What We Want

We know men will always be men. But we also know that he might want a little help getting in touch with his soft side. His soft, freshly-shaven side that is.

Most men probably have been shaving since the dawn of time. In fact, he could pretty much pass as the leading expert of all things razor-related. However, since we’ve invested so much time thinking about skin rejuvenation, we might be able to offer some really unconventional shaving tips that could make a big difference in your guy’s morning routine. We promise you’ll be thanking us later.

Guy-Worthy Scrub


Here’s a tip you may have never heard. To get a closer shave you could exfoliate! Yes, that’s right, scrubbing isn’t just for girls. So encourage him to bust out that peach kernel scrub or sugar scrub, and get polishing! Sweet fruity toiletries not up his alley, you say? We thought so. Then grab him a Clarisonic, the newest skin rejuvenation gadget.

Clarisonic brushes are used to remove dead skin cells and smooth the surface of your skin. They also help in working the cleanser go deeper into your skin, giving you a cleaner kind of clean. He can even use the Clarisonic to work shaving cream or gel into his beard. A recent study demonstrates that 81% of men using Clarisonic enjoy a close smooth shave with less irritation and no rashes or razor bumps. Tell him to try it out. He’ll see when shaving after a Clarisonic scrub, his razor will actually glide across his chin and neck. No more tugging and pulling. He can now say goodbye to redness, bumps and ingrown hairs!

Tone More Than Just Muscles

Research demonstrates that men have oilier skin than women. This mean his pores are more prone to get clogged up than yours, his skin’s surface will be riddled with dirt and dead skin cells, and his beard hairs are more likely to become stuck under his skin. Enhancing your man’s nightly cleansing routine with a toner can help him eliminate these problems. Toners are designed to reduce the stubborn natural oily residue that builds up on your face throughout the day.

After washing his face in the evening, he can pat his skin dry. A few drops of toner can be swiped across his face. This added step will reduce pore sizes and pull away the naughty residue that’s the cause of bumps and ingrown hairs. And though we’re focusing on helping you get a closer shave, here’s a top toner tip that’ll be worth sharing with your guy: be sure to hit the oily areas across the forehead, nose and chin.

Blast In-Grown Hairs Goodbye


Laser hair removal isn’t for women only anymore! Long, long ago, women once dealt with the insufferable waxing strips, hot gooey tubs of wax, and the pain that resulted from the dangerously quick yank. Once laser hair removal emerged as a solution to the hairy woes, many women have never looked back. Guys, it’s now your time.

That’s right, Laser Hair Removal is now FDA-approved especially for pseuo-folliculitis barbae. In other words guys can do away with ingrown hairs with this fast, painless treatment.

He can forget the painful bumps and red spots that results from the razor. It’s high time he also enjoyed some relief from the daily ritual of cutting it close. Just imagine: no more sore and tender skin, no more trialing a bazillion aftershaves to find the right kind of soothing relief, no more scrambling to hide those red razor bumps. Laser hair removal will help him do away with the shaving pain once and for all.

Taming the Unruly Man-Forest

There are a few ways men can manage the growth on their back or chest. Now we know each guy has his own preference. But whether he likes it wooly or sleek, there’s a technique to each method. So here are some tips to help your man de-forest or simply manage the fuzz depending on how he flies. And remember for those hard to reach areas (i.e. the entire back region) it’s probably best to enlist the help of a caring, considerate soul.

Trim It

To each his own right? For those who like to look a little rugged, keeping it au naturel might be the best option. But even natural has the tendency to get out of hand. To tame the organic look simply trim it with a body trimmer. Most of the same beard shaving rules apply.

So to start cleanse the region, gently exfoliating the skin to prepare it for the big grooming event. Set the body trimmer to the desired gauge and go against the grain. Just like his beard, body hair can get tugged during the trimming process. So if his skin feels a little tender afterwards, don’t be afraid suggest pulling in a soothing aftershave at the end of the trimming session.

Shave It

This is probably the most popular at-home method of body hair maintenance. Ironically it’s probably the most painful and inefficient. Shaving chest or back hair offers rather short-term payoff, while risking a lot of pain. This man-grooming method usually results in lots of ingrown hairs (those body hairs are pretty stubborn) and nicks (body’s curves make for a rather tricky terrain). Just like the body hair trimming process, the body hair shaving process is much like beard shaving.

Always start each session under the shower with cleansing and exfoliation. This reduces the formation of ingrown hairs and the possibility of pushing bacteria into your skin. Though it may seem counterintuitive, start with a trim. This allows your man to get a solid shave on a more manageable surface. After trimming, work shaving foam or gel into your skin. Shave with the grain to avoid getting painful bumps on your chest and back that could be easily irritated with the rubbing of your shirt against your skin. If his skin feels a little sensitive, advise him to pat some soothing aftershave onto the freshly groomed region.

Wax It


Unless your guy’s a pro at wielding a hot tub of wax, we recommend that he goes in to see a specialist. Skin on the back and chest is sensitive. So a do-it-yourself waxing episode could end in tears. But he’s intrepid right? And he always insists upon braving new territories? Ok, then all the more power to him. Here’s how it works!

Apply thin film of softened-but-not-overheated wax to a region, holding the spatula at a 45 degree angle and moving with the grain of your hair. Immediately place a strip over the gooey-fied area. Stroke this down firmly. Now here comes the fun part: pull skin taut and pull the strip quickly, going against the direction of hair growth. Sounds a bit daunting? Well, it is. And he might be having second thoughts about the DIY-waxing session. If so, then tell him to come in to BodyLase, and we’ll be happy to help. Just remember that despite having courageously gritted teeth through the pain, your guy will probably have to hit the wax again after a few weeks.

Laser It


The best way he can groom his body hair is to simply to tame it permanently. More and more guys are coming in each year for back or chest hair removal. It’s become so popular that at BodyLase it’s actually our number one treatment for guys. Many say the reason they choose this route is they no longer want to worry about grooming these tender, difficult regions before a weekend away at the beach, or they no longer want to rope their wife into helping them tackle this seemingly impossible mission.

Is he expressing interest in taking the plunge? Here’s what happens. Our technician will prepare the skin for this process. As the laser is moved over the target region, rays will penetrate and kill the hair root. Some guys want to simply reduce some furriness. In that case Laser Hair Removal can be used to thin hairy regions. Others want to be rid of the fuzz once and for all. For these guys, a series of Laser Hair Removal sessions can turn Shaggy into smooth and sleek stud.

Step 4: Doe-Eyed Look


Runny eye makeup. Raccoon eyes. Mascara flakes. Will the madness ever end? To ensure you don’t fall victim to these insufferable makeup crimes, you could always appoint a spotter on your wedding day. But at BodyLase we’ve got something better than a spotter: eyelash extensions!

One session of eyelash extensions is the headache-free answer to your cries for natural, full, dark lashes. Resistant to water, sweat and tears, our eyelash extensions will see you through all your wedding highlights. And the emotions that come along.

Step 5: The Face Off

As you’re flying up to the week of your big event, a facial will instantly refresh and brighten your look. If you’ve followed a daily regime and tackled those skin problems ahead of time (see Step 1), you’re perfectly primed. Now for the finishing touch.

Squeeze in a facial that compliments your entire wedding skin program. Do you need some hydration? Or just some de-clogging? Choose any gentle facial a day before your big day to simply brighten your look. But stay away from peels or IPL Photofacials at this point, since they require recovery time.

Step 6: Supreme Foundations


Everyone knows a good marriage is built upon a strong foundation. Your wedding makeup is the same. Start your wedding day beauty routine with a great moisturizer that won’t let your face down. Once primed and moisturized, your skin will look luminous.

Just be sure to choose a moisturizer that will give you the 24-hour support your skin needs. Dry skin will want moisture to seal in the plump, fresh look. Oily skin will want oil control to ensure your makeup doesn’t melt. Whatever your skin type, there’s a perfect moisturizer out there just for you. Check out SkinSelect MD (available in store) for some great moisturizers specialized by skin type. Any questions? Come by BodyLase for more tips on which products will work great for you.
