Our Favorite Summer-Safe Cosmetic Treatments

Summer is fast approaching, and with warmer days ahead, you may be considering ways to improve the way you look with cosmetic treatments.

But did you know that some treatments are not always recommended in the summer season? Many people opt to avoid laser treatments because they don’t always play well with the harsh UV rays of the sun. While you can choose a laser treatment in the summer, you will want to be diligent about sun protection and avoid exposure for a period of time. This is why many patients choose to postpone these procedures until the cooler months.

Treatments for Summer

But don’t worry! There are still plenty of sun-safe options! Let’s take a look at our list of top cosmetic treatments for summer.

Hydrafacial

Hydrafacial treatments cleanse, extract, and hydrate the skin. This involves a three-step process: cleansing by removing dead skin cells with controlled, pressurized water, extracting impurities through vacuum-powered hydration, and finally, saturating the skin’s surface with intense moisturizers and antioxidants.

There is never a bad time to get a Hydrafacial, but we think this treatment and summer go together like ice cream and sprinkles. First, there are no lasers involved. Second, the summer weather is harsh on your skin, and a Hydrafacial not only helps prevent damage but also addresses existing damage.

The truth is that summer is not great for our pores. Oil from sweating and shedding dry skin that results from sunburns can seriously clog pores. Hydrafacials gently exfoliate without the use of harsh abrasives. In fact, even though the treatment is easy on the skin, the level of exfoliation can actually improve the appearance of sunspots and other signs of sun damage. Furthermore, Hydrafaicals nourish the skin with deep hydration for a beautiful summer glow.

Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is another gentle skin treatment that is ideal for summer skin. Your provider will use a sterile scalpel to “shave” the surface of the skin. Even though it may sound scary at first, the scalpel doesn’t cut anything. Instead, it removes fine “peach fuzz” hairs and also dead skin cells to reveal smoother skin.

This treatment is particularly suitable for summer as it helps prevent the buildup of dead cells and debris that can occur with increased sweating and exposure to the elements. The immediate result is a brighter complexion that improves the natural glow of your skin, making it perfect for a low-maintenance summer beauty routine.

Botox

Botox injections administer botulinum toxin just under the skin in order to relax facial muscles. It is great at smoothing wrinkles and preventing the formation of new lines.

Botox is great for summer because it doesn’t require hiding away from the sun like laser treatments. Bonus: it is especially beneficial during this time of year when frequent squinting in bright sunlight can accelerate the appearance of crow’s feet and forehead lines.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are another injectable treatment that works well in summer. Skin-safe compounds like hyaluronic acid fill in wrinkles, add volume, and hydrate the skin at a deep level. These fillers are effective in combating the sagging look that can result from dehydration, which may occur during summer, and provide immediate improvement in skin fullness and elasticity. Like Botox and other injectables, filler does not make the skin more sensitive to harsh solar rays.

Exosome Therapy

Exosome therapy is a cutting-edge regenerative treatment that uses exosomes—nanoparticles specializing in cell communication—to enhance skin cell renewal. These exosomes promote healing and reduce inflammation. They also boost collagen at the microscopic level.

During summer, this treatment is particularly advantageous as it addresses sun damage and aids in skin recovery without harsh treatments or chemicals that could increase sun sensitivity. Exosome therapy also enhances your skin’s natural resilience against summer stressors.
