Face cleansing and rejuvenation

#1 Hydrafacial

Hydrafacial is a multi-step treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates the skin. It uses a unique Vortex-Fusion delivery system to remove impurities and infuse the skin with serums.

Why it’s summer-safe: This treatment is non-invasive and gentle on the skin, avoiding the risk of increased photosensitivity. The hydration aspect also helps combat the drying effects of summer heat, leaving your skin refreshed and glowing.

#2 Enzyme Oxygen Facials

Oxygen facials involve applying highly concentrated oxygen molecules directly onto the epidermis (the outer layer of skin). The oxygen is infused with vitamins, minerals, essential nutrients, and botanical extracts.

Why it’s summer-safe: This treatment boosts hydration and promotes a radiant complexion without causing any irritation or sensitivity to sunlight. It’s an excellent option to keep your skin plump and hydrated in the dry summer months.

Hair growth therapies

#3 Hair loss injectables

Injectable hair loss treatments typically include therapies such as PRP, exosomes, hair fillers, growth factors, and mesotherapy. These treatments involve injecting beneficial substances directly into the scalp to stimulate hair growth and improve the health of hair follicles.

Unlike treatments that affect the surface of the skin (such as chemical peels or laser treatments), injectable therapies work beneath the skin’s surface. This means the treated area is not significantly more sensitive to sunlight or heat, reducing the risk of adverse reactions from sun exposure. They are safe to do during the summer.

Face Tightening

#4 HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound)

HIFU uses ultrasound energy to promote collagen production deep within the skin. The result is tighter and firmer skin. It is commonly used for non-surgical facelifts.

Why it’s summer-safe: HIFU targets the deepest layer of the skin (SMAS) without affecting the surface, meaning there’s no risk of increased sensitivity to sunlight. It’s perfect for those looking to maintain skin firmness and elasticity during the summer.

#5 Injectable treatments

Injectable treatments include Nithya, PRP, Mesotherapy, Biorevitalization, dermal fillers, B0t0x, and more. Injectable treatments work beneath the skin’s surface, targeting specific muscles or sub-dermal layers without causing significant damage to the outer layer of the skin. This minimizes the risk of sunburn and photosensitivity, making them safe for summer.

While injectables don’t increase sun sensitivity, it’s always good practice to protect your skin from UV damage. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30, wear hats, and seek shade whenever possible.

Laser therapies

#6 Laser tattoo removal

Laser tattoo removal targets only the ink particles within the tattooed area, without affecting the surrounding skin significantly. This localized treatment minimizes the overall skin sensitivity to sunlight compared to treatments like chemical peels or laser resurfacing, which affect larger skin areas.

The key to safe laser tattoo removal during summer is diligent aftercare. By following proper aftercare instructions, such as avoiding direct sun exposure and using high-SPF sunscreen, you can protect the treated area and prevent complications.

Body Contouring and Cellulite Reduction

#7 StimuSure

StimuSure uses electrical muscle stimulation to tone and strengthen muscles. It’s ideal for enhancing muscle definition without invasive procedures.

Why it’s summer-safe: As this treatment focuses on muscle stimulation and doesn’t involve the skin’s surface, there are no special precautions needed regarding sun exposure, making it an excellent choice for summer.

#8 LPG Endermologie

LPG Endermologie is a mechanical massage that stimulates fat cells and promotes lymphatic drainage. It’s known for reducing the appearance of cellulite, improving skin tone, and dexifying the body.

Why it’s summer-safe: This non-invasive treatment doesn’t make the skin sensitive to sunlight, making it safe for summer use. It helps maintain smooth and toned skin even during the hot months.

Skin Brightening

#9 Glutathione Injections

Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that helps detoxify the body and lighten the skin. We use an IV injection system to achieve a brighter and more even skin tone.

Why it’s summer-safe: These injections work internally and are not affected by external factors like sunlight. They help in maintaining a bright complexion throughout the summer.

Treatments to Avoid During Summer

While many treatments are safe during summer, you should stay away from some that increase the risk of side effects from heat and sun exposure:

#1 Chemical Peels (Medium to Deep)

These peels remove several layers of skin, making your skin extremely sensitive to sunlight and at high risk for hyperpigmentation and sunburn. The skin needs time to regenerate, and exposure to UV rays can cause significant damage during this period.

Usually, they have 1-2 weeks of downtime which requires you to keep away from heavy creams and makeup. If you need to do such treatment, we recommend you take some time off until it’s safe to apply SPF and makeup.

#2 Laser Resurfacing

Laser resurfacing removes layers of skin to improve texture and tone. This makes the new skin highly susceptible to UV damage, increasing the risk of burns and pigmentation issues. Summer sun can exacerbate these problems, leading to uneven skin tone and prolonged recovery times.

Best if you take a few weeks off to recover fully or wait for wintertime when the sun is lighter.

Treatments to do with caution

#1 VelaShape

VelaShape combines infrared light, bi-polar radiofrequency energy, and vacuum to reduce cellulite and contour the body. It improves skin texture and reduces circumference.

Although VelaShape uses heat to target fat cells, it doesn’t cause photosensitivity. However, avoiding direct sun exposure immediately after treatment is recommended to prevent any irritation. If you still need to expose the area, make sure you apply SPF 50.

#2 SculpSure

SculpSure is a non-invasive laser treatment that targets and destroys fat cells, reducing fat in treated areas. It’s particularly effective for stubborn fat pockets.

This laser treatment does not affect the skin’s surface layer, minimizing the risk of sun-related issues. Nevertheless, protecting the treated area from sun exposure post-treatment is crucial to avoid pigmentation.

#3 Laser Hair Removal

Many people do laser hair removal all year round. If you follow some specific steps to keep your skin safe, the sun, heat, and water won’t affect your well-being.

It’s crucial to avoid sun exposure in the areas to be treated for at least two weeks before your session. It is vital to keep the treated area covered and apply a high-SPF sunscreen at least 1 week after your treatment.

Excessive heat and sweat can irritate the treated area and increase the risk of infection. It’s advisable to avoid heavy sweating for at least 24-48 hours after the procedure.

#4 Microneedling

Microneedling uses a device with fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. Treatments such as Morpheus8, PRP, Mesotherapy, and Exosomes use this technique. This process stimulates the skin’s natural healing response, promoting collagen and elastin production. It is used to treat a variety of skin concerns, including fine lines, acne scars, and overall skin texture.

Microneedling temporarily disrupts the skin’s protective barrier, making it more susceptible to UV damage. Exposure to the sun post-treatment can lead to hyperpigmentation, sunburn, and prolonged redness or irritation.

Avoid direct sun exposure for at least two weeks before your microneedling session. This helps ensure your skin is in its best condition before treatment. After your session, please use SPF 50 and stay under shade for as much as possible. Be careful!

#5 Non-ablative lasers

Non-ablative lasers, like LaseMD, penetrate the deeper layers of the skin without removing or damaging the outer layer (epidermis). They create controlled micro-injuries below the surface, which trigger collagen production and skin remodeling over time.

After LaseMD treatment, the skin can become more sensitive to UV rays. The micro-channels can still make the skin more vulnerable to sun damage and lead to hyperpigmentation, redness, and even sunburn.

You need to avoid direct sun exposure for at least a week post-treatment. Apply SPF 50 daily, even if you are indoors, as UV rays can penetrate through windows.
