Can you have facial treatments before summer?
Absolutely: having facial treatments before summer is not only possible but highly recommended. The main aim of these treatments is to prepare the skin to withstand summer aggressors, such as UV rays, dehydration and impurities linked to perspiration. However, it is essential to choose treatments that do not weaken the skin or make it more sensitive to UV rays.
Certain procedures, such as strong chemical peels or laser treatments, can make the skin more vulnerable to the sun and are therefore best avoided just before summer. On the other hand, there is a variety of treatments compatible with this season that will not only improve the appearance of the skin but also strengthen its natural protection.
Which treatments are compatible with summer?
Hydrafacial
Hydrafacial is a non-invasive procedure that combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction and hydration of the skin. This treatment uses patented vortex technology to remove impurities and dead cells while infusing hydrating, nourishing serums.
Benefits:
- Intense hydration: this treatment provides deep hydration, essential for maintaining the skin's elasticity and softness in the sun.
- Instant radiance: after a session, the skin looks instantly more radiant and refreshed.
- Non-irritating: unlike other treatments, Hydrafacial is gentle and does not cause significant peeling or redness.
PRX-T33
PRX-T33 is a biorevitalising treatment that combines trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and hydrogen peroxide. It works in depth to stimulate cell regeneration without exfoliating the skin's surface, and offers many benefits:
- Deep revitalisation: it improves skin texture and tone while stimulating collagen production.
- No photosensitising effect: unlike traditional peels, PRX-T33 does not make the skin more sensitive to the sun, which makes it ideal for summer.
- Rapid results: the effects are visible quickly, with firmer, more luminous skin.
Emface
Emface is an innovative technology that combines radiofrequency and muscle stimulation to tone the skin and facial muscles. This non-invasive treatment is perfect for those looking for a lifting effect without surgery, and it too offers many benefits:
- Lifting effect: by stimulating the facial muscles, Emface helps redefine the contours of the face and reduce the signs of ageing.
- Non-invasive: with no needles or incisions, this treatment has no recovery time and can be carried out before summer without risk.
- Summer-compatible: Emface does not cause increased sensitivity to the sun, so you can enjoy the sunny days without restrictions.
Skinboosters
Skinboosters are micro-injections of stabilised hyaluronic acid, designed to hydrate and revitalise the skin from within. These injections are particularly effective at improving skin elasticity and texture:
- Lasting hydration: hyaluronic acid attracts and retains water, ensuring prolonged hydration.
- Improved texture: Skinboosters reduce fine lines and give the skin a smoother, younger appearance.
- No increased sensitivity: unlike other injectable treatments, Skinboosters do not make the skin more sensitive to UV rays.
Conclusion: which aesthetic treatments to recommend during summer?
Preparing your skin before summer is a crucial step in ensuring its radiance and health throughout the season. Aesthetic treatments such as Hydrafacial, PRX-T33, Emface and Skinboosters offer effective, safe solutions to achieve this goal. By opting for these treatments, you can enjoy the benefits of revitalised, hydrated and protected skin, ready to face the sun's rays while remaining resplendent.
