Over the last decade or so, more men have been considering cosmetic procedures than ever before. Up until recently, plastic surgery was typically catering to female candidates, but men are starting to realize the importance of their physical appearance and the correlation it has to their confidence. 

Doctor Douglas Steinbrech has had an astounding impact on the cosmetic community by exclusively focusing on his male patients – which contribute to less than 10% of cosmetic procedures performed globally. With established clinics across the country that serve both women and men, Dr. Steinbrech is recognized for his ability to contour the male physique, making his technique desired by male plastic surgery candidates everywhere. 

Since Dr. Steinbrech gambled on starting his practice in 2013, Male Plastic Surgery on Park Avenue in NYC, he’s been dubbed the leader in male aesthetics and even called the “go-to surgeon for men,” by Forbes.

Recently, most men considering plastic surgery have found themselves turning toward Dr. Steinrech to enhance their physical appearance. The doctor is most recognized for his ability to contour the male jawline, cheekbones, nose, and forehead, but the scope of his ability goes beyond a surgical candidate’s face. Dr. Steinbrech has ultimately perfected the art of contouring, and this is clear when evaluating the healed results of his patients who have undergone liposuction or procedures to enhance their glutes, abdomen, chest, and more.

Today, Dr. Steinbrech has four modalities to approach the enhancement of a man’s appearance

• Procedures for male models focus on sharpening the jawline, cheekbones, nose, and the subtle accentuation of facial features, as well as focusing on abs, pectoral muscles, biceps, triceps, and beyond. To any man looking to elevate his appearance, this is the best way of ticking all the boxes.
• Procedures for bodybuilders primarily define features on the body to help make a man’s appearance translate as being more muscular (much more so than the methods of accentuation offered to candidates looking for the male model physique.) The bodybuilder modality focuses on the areas of the body that don’t respond to exercise: glutes, chest, and more. Ultimately, plastic surgery is what sets one bodybuilder apart from other bodybuilders.
• Procedures for athletic dads have become the male equivalent of the Mommy-Makeover. Fatherhood is one of life’s greatest gifts, but as priorities change, along with discipline, self-care, and scheduled workouts. A Daddy-Do-Over will address a man’s jawline to reduce the appearance of face sagging and offer procedures such as an eye lift and liposuction to improve the appearance and maximize confidence.
• Procedures for boardroom executives ensure that the men on top of their game stay on top of it by focusing on appearance. Along with experience and qualifications comes some wear and tear on a man’s skin and body – but it’s nothing that facial recontouring can’t fix! Men looking to look and feel better, while also staying on top of their world, can benefit tremendously from Dr. Steinbrech’s relaxed, but striking approach.

Considering Dr. Steinbrech’s versatility, capability, and overall skill, it’s no wonder his Park Avenue practice, Male Plastic Surgery, has been as successful as it is. Men from around the globe are turning to Dr. Steinbrech for his ability to subtly, but strikingly, enhance a man’s appearance, and to think this was unheard of before Dr. Steinbrech revolutionized the plastic surgery world for men! Not only is Doctor Douglas Steinbrech changing men’s perceptions of themselves, but he’s completely changing the trajectory of the plastic surgery industry as a whole. His work has made an impact over the last decade, but it’s only scratching the surface of what can be offered to men – not just women!

Michael Londo’s flagship product, the OvationULT™ Bed, represents a groundbreaking development in red-light therapy.

Here, we explore the advantages of integrating the OvationULT™ Bed into wellness centers, gyms, and spas, a noteworthy and sometimes necessary option for many holistic health and care customers.

Is Red Light Therapy Right for You? 

Why should one consider introducing Red Light Therapy into their lives? The answer lies in Londo’s personal experience of caring for his daughter.

Michael Londo, motivated by a profound personal challenge, embarked on a journey that led to the founding of the Body Balance System. Faced with his daughter Kyla’s rare genetic birth defect, Londo found himself in a situation familiar to many parents of children with special healthcare needs:

“The available treatments and care options were either insufficient or not fully effective for her specific condition,” he shared with us. “This gap in effective care options pushed me to seek out alternative solutions, eventually steering me towards the potential of red light therapy. The rest is history.”

Recognizing the limitations of existing health and wellness technologies to meet his daughter’s needs, he was driven by a commitment to not only enhance her quality of life but also to offer new hope and options to others facing similar health challenges. Thus, the Body Balance System was born out of necessity — underscoring a father’s determination to find a better way to care for his child, leading to innovations in red light therapy aimed at supporting overall well-being and health improvement for many.

Londo now offers significant benefits beyond his family’s personal needs, extending to a broader audience.

Many consider having a degree related to traditional professional careers the desired goal. Still, the reality is that with the advancement of technology and the development of professions that offer more significant economic and personal benefits, the truth is different for the new generations.

Graduating as a telecommunications engineer could have been the start of a promising career in technology. Still, for Edwin Cadena, this academic achievement marked the beginning of a journey toward his true passion: the art of tattooing.

Edwin had felt a deep connection with the world of art from a very young age. Despite his skills in science and technology, his true passion lay in expressing himself through techniques such as charcoal, graphite, and pastels, as well as in water and oily artistic painting. However, his foray into tattoo art ignited his creative flame.

Edwin Cadena Hernández, as he is known professionally, is an experienced tattoo artist who masters a wide range of techniques, from shadow realism to black and gray specialty. His training includes courses at renowned art academies and specialized seminars in tattooing, where he has honed his ability to capture human anatomy and the essence of life in his creations.

“Every step I have taken in my career has been a significant achievement,” says Edwin. “Even the simple fact that my mother, at 72 years old, finally accepted that tattooing is a worthy profession and asked me to tattoo her is a milestone for me. It has helped me find peace and tranquility with myself.” For Edwin, tattooing is not just a job but an all-consuming passion. “At this moment in my life, the tattoo is everything to me,” he expresses with emotion. “It’s what I study, breathe, sweat, see and do. It has saved me from a life I didn’t want for myself.”

Looking to the future, Edwin hopes his experience will inspire others, especially his son. “I don’t want to pass on the frustration I experienced to my son,” he explains. “I hope that when he grows up and finds out my story, he can find his own path, and I can guide him.”

Although tattooing remains his main passion, the Colombian known as @Edwink.Tattoos on social media also plans to explore other forms of artistic expression. “I hope to have studied other techniques such as sculpture, photography, and 3D modeling before,” he says. “Art is a never-ending journey, and I’m excited to see where it will take me.”

Edwin Cadena’s dedication to his craft is a testament to the transformative power of following one’s passion. His journey from telecommunications engineer to celebrated tattoo artist illustrates the importance of self-discovery and the courage to pursue unconventional paths. In a world where traditional career trajectories are often prized above creative pursuits, Edwin’s story is an inspiring reminder of the validity and value of the arts. Through his intricate designs and commitment to excellence, Edwin vindicates the art of tattooing and elevates it, challenging societal perceptions and showcasing the profound impact that art can have on individuals and communities. As he continues to explore new artistic frontiers, Edwin’s work remains a beacon of inspiration, encouraging others to embrace their unique talents and passions regardless of societal expectations. His journey underscores a powerful message: true fulfillment lies in pursuing love, and art, in any form, is a noble and worthwhile endeavor.
