Whether bald by choice or bald by genetics, many men are choosing to channel their inner Bruce Willis and daring to go bare. It’s easy to see why. Bald heads are in. Vin Diesel. Howie Mandel. Chris Daughtry. Patrick Stewart. Andre Agassi. Taye Diggs. Some of the hottest actors, musicians, and athletes sport smooth and shiny bald heads.

From razors to moisturizer and sunscreen to conditioner, keeping a bald head shiny and clean requires maintenance. While it’s no secret that a bald head can be sexy, a dull, dry looking scalp can quickly take a man from “hot” to “not.”

Without hair to protect their scalp, bald men often suffer from the affects of sun damage - uneven skin tone, hyper-pigmentation, freckles, large hair follicles, and pre-cancerous sun spots. In the search for a solution to keep their bald head gleaming, smooth and blemish-free, men have several options:

1.  Chemical Peels – Chemical peels are a quick and easy way to exfoliate the dull, damaged outer layers of the skin. Light peels such as Alpha Hydroxy Acid (Glycolic), Lactic Acid or Salicylic Acid work well for those with minimal sun damage and who don’t have time to recover from deeper peels. A Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) chemical peel is considered a medium peel with more dramatic results, but they also require a longer recovery time. Vi Peels are a great solution for darker skin tones.

2. SmartXide DOT Laser - The SmartXide DOT laser reaches deep into the upper layer of the dermis on the scalp to stimulate collagen growth. Within 48-hours new, fresh skin starts to emerge resulting in an immediate tightening of the skin on the scalp, elimination of sun spots and freckles, and a more even coloring. Over the next six months, as collagen continues to grow, even more improvements in tone, texture, and clarity will continue to emerge.

3. Obagi Nu-Derm System – As the #1 prescription-strength, physician-dispensed skin care system, the Nu-Derm System can actually transform skin at the cellular level. The Nu-Derm System penetrates below the surface of the skin to transform skin cell functions at the cellular level and correct the damage within. By addressing the signs of photodamage and restoring the healthy function of skin cells, this system is clinically proven to result in younger- and healthier-looking scalp.

4. Obagi Nu-Derm Blender - A topical prescription treatment that contains 4% hydroquinone to target hyperpigmented (discolored) areas of the skin. It can be used alone or in conjunction with the Obagi Nu-Derm System.

A man’s hair, or lack of it, says a lot about him. Choosing to embrace a life without hair requires confidence, and most women find a confident man extremely sexy. It’s all about the attitude. Be bald AND bold!
