The Best Beauty Treatments to Get In Summer

Summertime is here or just around the corner, and everyone wants to look and feel their best. While we’ll find any excuse to head to the MedSpa, there are some treatments that are best to get in summertime. In this blog post, we’re sharing our favorite beauty treatments to get during the summer months.

Fantastic year round: Botox and Fillers

On the other hand, injectables like Botox and filler are excellent options for summer–which is music to our ears for sure. These treatments are minimally invasive and require little downtime, making them ideal for those who want to quickly refresh their look without disrupting their summer plans. Botox can smooth out wrinkles and lines, while fillers can restore lost volume and enhance facial features. Both treatments are safe and effective, providing natural-looking results that can last for several months. Best of all? Neither one of them increases sun sensitivity. We call that a win-win, friends. 

Bikini Body Ready: Body sculpting treatments

Another great option for summertime is body sculpting treatments. These treatments, like CryoSlim, Evolve, and Emsculpt NEO, use advanced technology to target and eliminate stubborn fat cells in specific areas, which contour the body. Evolve and Emsculpt NEO also trigger muscle contractions that are more powerful than exercise alone, so they tone areas like the abs, glutes, and thighs. Body sculpting treatments are non-invasive and require virtually no downtime, so you can literally go from the MedSpa to the beach. Results can typically be seen within a few weeks of treatment, making it a great option for those who want to look better fast. Especially since bikinis really show off that suddenly snatched waist ;)

A Year Round Standby: The Hydrafacial

There’s never a bad time for a Hydrafacial. This gentle yet effective advanced facial uses proprietary knowledge to deeply cleanse your pores and infuse skin with quenching hydrators. It’s perfect for summertime because that’s when we’re out and about the most–at the beach, at the pool, on the trail, on the lake…and therefore covered in sunscreen, sand, and general *outside stuff* (special shoutout to whatever the hell is in that lake water). All of that SPF combined with pollution and dirt can really clog pores. A deep cleansing is just what your skin needs after any kind of summer vacation, whether you’re getting your old-school glam on at the French Riviera or lounging on the North Shore at Turtle Bay. 

Take Special Care: Chemical Peels and Microneedling 

Chemical peels, Morpheus8, lasers, and microneedling can all cause increased sensitivity to the sun, leading to potential sunburns and damage to the skin. The same is true with laser hair removal. These treatments can also cause peeling and redness, which may be uncomfortable in the hot summer months. That being said, if uneven skin tone, post-inflammatory marks, or uneven skin texture are really bothering you, you don’t have to wait until the weather cools to do something about it. The best time for an act of self care is always now. 

If you choose to get sun-sensitive skincare treatments during this time, make sure to follow all of your provider’s aftercare instructions to the letter. We mean it. Don’t plan your St Barths vacay too close to a chemical peel or microneedling session–if you come home sunburned, your treatment provider will not put a chemical peel on your face! Be extra vigilant about avoiding sun exposure, and wear SPF and wide-brimmed hats if you have to go outside for any reason while your skin is recovering. If it feels weird to swan around in a giant hat, just tell everyone you’re going through your Coastal Grandma era–they won’t think anything of it.
