Men’s Skincare and BBL: A Doctor-Led Approach to Healthier Skin

By Dr. Meg Minasian, Founder of The MW Clinic London

At The MW Clinic London, I often see male patients who are looking for more than just aesthetic enhancements — they’re seeking expert, medically-led guidance on maintaining healthy, resilient skin. With over 30 years of medical experience, I understand that men’s skincare needs are unique, and treatments should always be tailored with that in mind.

Understanding Men’s Skin

Men’s skin tends to be thicker, oilier, and more prone to conditions such as enlarged pores, redness, and sun damage. Daily shaving, environmental exposure, and inconsistent skincare routines can all contribute to these concerns. It’s important to address them with treatments that are both effective and specifically suited to male skin.

Introducing Broadband Light (BBL) Therapy

Broadband Light (BBL) therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses pulses of light energy to target a variety of skin concerns. It’s particularly effective for:

• Reducing redness and rosacea – BBL can significantly minimise facial redness and reduce visible blood vessels, concerns that are common in male skin.
• Treating sun damage – For those who spend time outdoors, BBL helps fade pigmentation and even out sun-related skin changes.
• Improving skin texture – BBL stimulates collagen, which leads to smoother, firmer skin over time.

Why BBL Is a Good Option for Men

• Minimal downtime – Treatments are fast (often 30 minutes or less) with no recovery period needed.
• Customisable – BBL can be adapted to suit male-specific areas such as the beard line, jawline, neck, and chest.
• Long-lasting results – A course of treatments can maintain clearer, stronger skin with long-term benefits for skin health and tone.

Consultations That Prioritise Medical Care

Every treatment at The MW Clinic London begins with a full, in-person medical consultation with me, Dr Meg Minasian. This consultation lasts at least one hour and includes a detailed review of your medical history, current skincare, and personal goals. This in-depth approach ensures that your treatment plan — including whether BBL is right for you — is tailored specifically to your needs and expectations.

Beyond the Laser: A Skin Health Routine for Men

As part of a broader approach to skin health, I often help male patients establish an effective, realistic skincare routine. This usually includes:

• Cleansing – A gentle cleanser to remove sweat, oil, and pollutants without over-stripping the skin.
• Moisturising – Hydration that supports the skin’s natural barrier.
• Sun protection – Daily use of SPF to prevent further UV damage and protect long-term results.

A Doctor-Led Clinic Built on Experience

If you’re a man considering non-surgical aesthetic treatments, or you simply want help improving the health of your skin, I’d be delighted to see you in clinic. As a qualified medical doctor with decades of experience, I provide every consultation and treatment myself — ensuring a professional, honest, and discreet approach to your care.
