Achieving beautiful skin this summer shouldn’t come at the risk of an adverse reaction to sun exposure. Fortunately, there are a number of summer-safe skin treatments that afford stunning results without the need to stay sheltered indoors for weeks on end.
DiamondGlow® with dermaplaning
A smoother, clearer complexion is possible with a DiamondGlow and dermaplaning combination treatment. Also known as dermal infusion, DiamondGlow is a non-invasive 3-in-1 facial treatment that uses a specialized wand to exfoliate, extract and infuse the skin with customized hydrating and brightening serums. On the other hand, dermaplaning uses physical exfoliation with a sterile surgical blade to remove dead skin cells and peach fuzz from the face. Combining these two treatments can elevate your results. Dermaplaning helps remove the outermost layer of damaged skin cells, allowing DiamondGlow to penetrate the skin deeper and more effectively. We love this combo treatment for summer because it can help improve a myriad of skin concerns, including skin texture, fine lines and wrinkles, dullness, congestion, acne and uneven skin tone, while revealing a glowing complexion without a moment of downtime.
Microneedling
We’re proud to offer the first FDA-cleared microneedling system for treating acne scars and wrinkles. Compared to standard microneedling pens, Exceed™ involves up to 50% less downtime. Using fine, sterile needles, microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which can help improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars and other skin concerns. Microneedling can safely be done during the summer months as long as you are diligent about using a broad-spectrum, SPF 30+ sunscreen and limiting sun exposure while your skin heals. On average, patients are red for two to four days following treatment, while some patients heal completely in 24 hours. Microneedling is a great collagen stimulator alternative to more intense laser skin treatments that are discouraged in the summer months.
