Safe Summer Procedures

Summer months can be particularly hard on your skin. Too much sun, sweat, heat, and sunscreen can lead to dry skin, clogged pores, and uneven texture. It is important to be cautious about the type of skin treatments you do during the long hot days of summer, but that doesn’t mean you can’t do anything at all. There are treatments you can have to help minimize the effects of the harsh summer weather with little down time.

One of our most popular procedures during the summer months is microdermabrasion. A microderm is a technique that removes the outermost layer of skin by gently exfoliating the skin with natural diamond chips, while at the same time vacuuming the dead skin cells away. Resurfacing the skin in this manner is similar to that of a chemical peel but without the adverse effects of irritation and skin reaction. You can successfully treat areas like the neck, hands, chest, and face. There is no down time and normal activities may be resumed immediately. It is not painful and most clients find it remarkably relaxing.

Removing the outer layer of dead skin cells enables better absorption of antioxidants, moisturizers, and nutrients that will be applied to the skin directly after the treatment. This helps provide a smoother texture and promotes the growth of healthy new skin cells. Microderms can be performed as often as every two weeks to help treat conditions like age spots and sun damage, softening of fine lines and wrinkles, oily skin, and extraction of blackheads and whiteheads. You will experience softer, smoother, and cleaner skin. Even after the first treatment you will enjoy a radiant glow that will continue to improve with additional treatments.
