Preparing your skin for summer involves treatments that enhance your complexion, provide sun protection, and address specific concerns. Starting your skin treatments early sets you up for a healthy, glowing complexion by the time summer rolls around.
Here are some of our beautiful receptionist Sam’s favourite treatments and products she does and uses to prepare her skin and body for the summertime.
Limelight IPL is the ideal treatment to do during the cooler months. This is a great treatment for pigmentation, sun damage, facial redness such as rosacea and telangiectasia (small red veins). As your skin needs time to heal from IPL this is great to do before summer as the reduced sun exposure minimises the risk of UV damage, which is ideal for the skin to heal after IPL or laser.
Another great treatment to do is Laser Genesis. With its minimal downtime, this is such a great all-rounder treatment and it is suitable for most skin types. It’s a non-invasive treatment that gently heats the skin to stimulate the production of collagen, elastin and new skin cells. It’s also a great treatment for redness and helps in reducing fine line and wrinkles.
Skin products are a must for your home care. This helps to prepare the skin for treatments to ensure the best treatment outcome, accelerate your results and ensures longevity of results. Some products that we have here in clinic that are great to use include the Complete Pigment Plus from Dr. Aspect. It is designed to target and improve pigmentation issues in the skin. This is also a great product to prep the skin before any IPL or laser treatments. It contains a blend of potent ingredients like vitamin C, niacinamide, and various botanical extracts. These ingredients work together to brighten the skin, reduce the appearance of dark spots, and improve overall radiance. In addition to targeting pigmentation, Complete Pigment Plus has anti-aging properties, helping to improve skin texture and firmness
Another at-home-must-have is the VSkin mask by Mondeal. These supply the skin with ultimate hydration and is great to use post treatment to cool and heal the skin. These masks incorporate potent active ingredients like hyaluronic acid, collagen, antioxidants, and botanical extracts, which work together to nourish and revitalise the skin
Last, but definitely the most important product is sunscreen to protect your skin from sun damage. We offer the Aspect Sun range here in clinic. These potently filters out UVA and UVB radiation as well as containpotent antioxidants to provide hydration and nourishment for age-defying skinGlycerin effectively locks in moisture, helping to increase your skin’s water content and boost overall hydration. While Vitamin E, renowned for its powerful antioxidant properties, nourishes and protects the skin barrier, promoting healthier, more resilient skin.
Finishing off with a treatment that is great for getting your body ready for summer is the Emsculpt Neo. Designed to target both muscle and fat cells, the Emsculpt Neo is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that combines two technologies, high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy and radiofrequency (RF) heating to help build muscle and reduce fat. The HIFEM energy stimulates muscle contractions, which helps build muscle mass in targeted areas. The RF heating component helps to stimulate the fat layer, enhancing fat reduction during the treatment. The treatment can be tailored to individual needs and body areas, allowing for personalised contouring. Emsculpt Neo is suitable for individuals who are already active and looking to enhance their muscle definition and reduce stubborn fat. Areas such as the abdomen, flanks and buttocks are popular treatment areas.
