In recent years, the realm of skincare has evolved to be inclusive, with a growing focus on the unique needs of men. Two experts in this field, Dr. Bradley Calobrace, and Dr. Juan Quintero, provided us with insights into effective skincare routines tailored specifically for men.


Foundations of a Good Skincare Routine


Both Dr. Calobrace and Dr. Quintero emphasize simplicity and consistency as the cornerstones of a good skincare regimen. Dr. Calobrace advises starting with a good cleanser, incorporating exosomes for collagen regeneration, and using an effective sunscreen like Pavise. He highlights the importance of products that foster a healthy skin microbiome, such as BioJuve, to optimize the skin’s natural environment. Dr. Quintero echoes this sentiment, recommending a basic routine that includes a quality face wash, moisturizer, and sunscreen. He stresses the importance of adding components like Retin A and hyaluronic acid to enhance collagen production and minimize wrinkles.


Avoiding Common Pitfalls


“A common mistake men make”, according to Dr. Calobrace, “is using harsh soaps that dehydrate the skin and neglecting to reapply sunscreen throughout the day.” He underscores the necessity of persistence, noting that skincare should be a lifelong habit rather than a quick fix. Dr. Quintero identifies the lack of professional guidance as a critical error. Many men rely on over-the-counter products without understanding their ingredients, which can sometimes cause more harm than good. He advocates for professional advice to tailor skincare routines to individual needs. 


Essential Ingredients and Protective Measures 


Hyaluronic acid and exosomes are highlighted by both doctors as key ingredients that stimulate youthful skin activity. Dr. Quintero adds that men should look for products containing zinc oxide for effective sun protection, emphasizing its importance in preventing photoaging and protecting vulnerable areas like the nose and lips. 


For men who work or exercise outdoors, both doctors stress the necessity of regular sunscreen application and the use of physical barriers like hats and sunglasses. Dr. Calobrace advises reapplying sunscreen every few hours, while Dr. Quintero reiterates the paramount importance of zinc oxide-based sunblocks. 


Professional Treatments and Emerging Trends 


CaloSpa offers a range of treatments specifically beneficial for men. These include Hydrafacials, MOXI laser treatments, and PRX peels, all designed to improve skin texture and brightness with minimal downtime. Microneedling RF treatments, such as Morpheus and Scarlett, are also popular for their effective results with easy recovery. 


Dr. Quintero highlights a variety of procedures, from wrinkle reduction and volume augmentation with fillers to advanced laser treatments targeting different skin layers. He also promotes wellness treatments like weight loss programs and hair restoration, along with innovative fitness and rejuvenation therapies like TrueSculpt, Emsculpt Neo, and Emface. 

Both doctors recommend specific brands known for their efficacy such as Elevai Exosomes, SkinMedica HA 5, Pavise sunscreen, and BioJuve as top choices. 



Looking to the future, both experts are excited about advancements in regenerative medicine. Exosomes, stem cells, and treatments that replenish the skin’s microbiome are at the forefront of promising new developments in men’s skincare. 


Incorporating professional advice and high-quality products into a consistent skincare routine can significantly impact men’s skin health and appearance. Dr. Bradley Calobrace and Dr. Juan Quintero provide a roadmap for men to follow, ensuring their skincare regimen is both effective and sustainable. As the industry evolves, staying informed about emerging treatments will help men maintain youthful, healthy skin for years to come.
