Many people assume that, aside from skincare products and sunscreen, sun exposure rules out other aesthetic treatments during the summer months. That’s simply not true.

A number of treatments can enhance the appearance of your skin, giving your face and body a firmer, plumper, dewier look. These treatments require no downtime, deliver excellent hydration, and some even tighten the skin — making them perfect for anyone spending the season outdoors.

If you love being out in the sun, here are some of the best treatments to keep on your radar this summer:

AquaGold®

AquaGold® treatments are effective for tightening, plumping, and brightening the skin, improving texture and tone, reducing pigmentation or melasma, calming inflammation and redness, and softening the appearance of acne scars and enlarged pores. This superficial treatment improves skin quality and structure while encouraging deeper cell regeneration. PDGF+ can be added to boost cell proliferation, promote the formation of new, stronger blood vessels, support wound healing, and stimulate collagen production. For brightened, dewy, “awake” skin, an individualized AquaGold® facial is a wonderful year-round choice, using natural, chemical-free ingredients to restore your skin’s natural glow.

Facials

Facials enhance hydration, exfoliation, brightening, and overall skin rejuvenation. We offer a wide range of facials that our aestheticians tailor to each patient’s skin type and condition — all gentle, downtime-free, and especially beneficial for rehydrating skin after time in the sun.

A few favorites for patients with an active outdoor lifestyle include:

• CO2Lift® — Instantly hydrates, brightens, and rejuvenates the skin using advanced carboxytherapy in a soothing gel mask. Patients enjoy immediate, visible results: skin feels plumper, firmer, and deeply hydrated with a radiant glow.
• Vitamin C Facial — A powerful antioxidant treatment designed to restore and rejuvenate environmentally damaged, dehydrated skin by detoxifying and promoting hydration.
• Gel Peel Treatment — A hydroxy acid treatment that brightens the skin’s tone, leaving it with a fresh, youthful glow.

Your provider can recommend one of these or another peel from our extensive service menu to help keep your skin healthy and hydrated, based on your lifestyle and goals.

DiamondGlow®

DiamondGlow® simultaneously exfoliates, extracts, and infuses the skin using condition-specific exfoliation-to-serum technology. This allows our providers to adjust both the depth of treatment and the serum cocktail for each patient’s unique skin condition, delivering instant and long-term results across all skin types — with no downtime. By infusing serums tailored to each patient’s needs, DiamondGlow® helps improve fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, rough texture, uneven tone, dehydration, and sagging skin.

PRX® Derm Perfexion®

Perfexion® is our aestheticians’ top pick for the best summer treatment. It’s in a class of its own — a no-peel, no-downtime biorevitalization treatment that combines 33% TCA with hydrogen peroxide and kojic acid, stimulating the dermis without disrupting the skin’s surface.

This innovative formulation means:

• No visible peeling
• No photosensitivity (safe to use year-round)
• No downtime

Perfexion® is ideal for:

• Treatment of the face and body
• Lifting and tightening
• Reducing fine lines and laxity
• Treating scars and stretch marks
• Enhancing glow and skin texture

It’s especially popular among patients who want real results without the downtime associated with traditional peels.

Don’t put your skin on the back burner just because it’s summer. This is exactly the season to prioritize hydration, glow, and radiance while you enjoy the outdoors. Schedule a consultation with one of our experienced clinical providers to keep your skin looking and feeling its best all summer long!
