Women across the nation trust Dianne York-Goldman of La Jolla Spa M.D. for inventive guidance on continued health and beauty.

La Jolla Spa M.D. is a San Diego landmark of rejuvenation and radiance. The soothing lobby with its signature teal and dark wood waterfall shading baby blue walls introduces guests to the product shop, day spa, and upstairs medical spa. From DYG Mineral Makeup to the variety of body treatments and facials, every woman could literally spend days, if not weeks, indulging in lavish spa couture.

But this spring we're not sharing the methods of Spa M.D. with local women because, well, they're already in the know. With summer just around the corner, we're reaching out to San Diego men. High temperatures mean it's time to take off the blazers and prepare for summer skin.

We revealed the party potential associated with manscaping at AlphaMale last month, and now we shift the focus back to reality with Spa M.D. to discover the beauty and maintenance details men need to know, but would never, ever ask. From unwanted hair to muscle tension and farmer's tans, beachwear leaves no room for maintenance mishaps.

Alright guys, we can hear you mocking and complaining already. And all I can say is, if you really think you're too manly to check into summer prep at Spa M.D., perhaps you're also macho enough to take on the entire Chargers front line.

In addition to a full-service day spa and medical spa, La Jolla Spa M.D. is the official spa of the San Diego Chargers and personally cares for the health and wellbeing of professional athletes and powerful members of society all across the nation.

In 2008 manscaping is nothing to be ashamed of. However, many local guys, when willing to try, are still unsure what services they need and why. Before you take off the trusted blazer and jeans duo pay attention to the three must-have treatments for summer skin.

Problem: Unwanted chest and back hair
Spa M.D. fix: Waxing and Laser Hair Removal

Although hair removal is more socially acceptable for women, the manscaping man does acknowledge unwanted hair on his chest and back that just don't work for shirt-less summers.

While some women like their men with just the right amount of chest hair, others prefer male chests to be soft and sleek. Either way, the general consensus is excessive chest hair and back hair have to go. To achieve this look for the beach, you have two options: waxing and laser hair removal.

Waxing is the most common method of hair removal for both men and women. Heated to just above body temperature, hot wax melts and is spread thinly over the skin. As the wax hardens, hair is trapped and then removed by the follicle roots. Hair removal typically lasts between four and seven weeks. Spa M.D. offers waxing services for both the back and chest.

Insider Tip: Men who prefer smaller swimwear shouldn't overlook the necessary Brazilian wax. Sources say you won't be the first male to go exotic at Spa M.D.

Laser Hair Removal is a modern method of hair removal that is increasingly popular among men and women. This quick and painless long term hair removal treatment is administered by a nurse practitioner and is far preferred over frequent wax sessions. Spa M.D. is considered the top medical spa in the nation and is trusted in San Diego for laser hair removal. Free consultations with test spots are available.

Problem: Muscle tension and injury

Spa M.D. fix: Peak Performance Sports Massage

While most San Diego guys are not professional athletes and only dream of charging the field alongside L.T., a sports massage benefits all men with muscle tension big or small. For stressed businessmen or athletic guys recovering from minor injuries, sports massages stimulate the circulation of blood and lymph fluids and increase motion range by triggering point therapy to break down muscle knots.

The obvious upside of the sports massage is it's the manliest treatment on the menu. But the most beneficial result of the sports massage is it will relieve your muscle tension and get you back to beach-ready shape. This means, you'll be tossing the horse shoes and inviting that hot beach bunny for a game of touch football in no time.

The La Jolla Spa M.D. Peak Performance Sports Massage is an hour and fifteen minute long treatment that utilizes the top technology to sooth aching muscles.

Problem: Farmer's tan or no tan
Spa M.D. fix: Sun FX Spray Tan

Your winter uniform of tees and jackets probably left your skin either completely or partially pasty. While you may consider faux tans strictly a female fad, trust us - there's nothing manly about strutting the sands with a farmer's tan or, worse, a white base just waiting for a burn. Thanks to Spa M.D., fake tans no longer have to look and feel fake.

Sun FX Spray Tan is an organic Australian tan made from all natural ingredients. This spray tan is offered in a variety of customized shades to match and enhance your natural skin tone, leaving no streaks behind. Pick up the Sun FX instant spray for touch ups - it's guaranteed to be dummy-proof, and is the best fix to even out your natural sun tan after a day at the beach.

For irritated skin that needs some spring cleaning, Spa M.D. recommends the Lime and Ginger Salt Glow before the Sun FX Spray Tan. This salt scrub exfoliates and cleanses the skin and is the perfect all natural primer for your summer shade.

The modern manscaped man is not afraid to embrace San Diego spas and give his look the attention and maintenance it needs and deserves. While not a definitive male territory like AlphaMale or at the early days of Well-Heeled, La Jolla Spa M.D. is the official spa of the San Diego Chargers - and it really doesn't get much more macho than that.

Whether you're looking for love or just a good time on the beach this summer in San Diego, it's important to pay a visit to Spa M.D. and prep your winter skin for long shirt-less days in the sun. Check out La Jolla Spa M.D. for prices and appointments.
