It always seems that when summer rolls around the one thing we forget about is our skin. This month’s Skin Care Newsletter just wants to remind you that summer is the most crucial time to look after your skin. Sunny days are wonderful, but they can also mean an increased risk for sun damage, wrinkles, and acne due to oily skin and clogged pores.

So, if the summer sun is so damaging, why do we put our skin care on hold? The biggest reason why we forget about our skin is time...or lack thereof. Everyone wants to get out there and enjoy their summers, and that includes vacations, long walks, impromptu get togethers, and 3-day weekends. Unfortunately, this can be difficult to maintain with regularly scheduled trips to a laser clinic or medical spa. No one wants to plan his or her vacation around scheduled appointments. With this in mind, this month’s skin care tips are about quick fixes that can get your skin through the summer months.

A treatment like IPL Photofacial requires fewer treatments than some other Laser or engery based treatment, and they're spaced further apart. This could help make planning around and having beautiful skin on that trip a little easier. Even a single treatment of IPL Photofacial can help supply enough of a boost to keep your skin smooth and supple, long enough until you have time for a full treatment course in the fall.

Microdermabrasion is perhaps the most common summer skin care treatment. It's fast, easy, and effective for treating excess oil, acne, and eliminating dead surface skin. A Microdermabrasion requires almost no effort on your part. In fact, all you have to do is show up, and a half hour later your skin is feeling clean and refreshed. You don’t even have to plan your Microdermabrasion around your vacation time; if you’re savvy enough you can have your Microdermabrasion on your vacation, accompanied by a luxurious spa facial.

Dermal Injectables are probably the best, “quick fix” cosmetic solution available. This is because dermal injectables and fillers require only one treatment session. BOTOX® lasts about 3 months, Restylane lasts roughly 6 months (and the same can be said for Juvederm and Perlane). Radiesse lasts up to 5 years! A dermal filler could definitely keep your lips luscious all summer long and BOTOX® could keep you wrinkle free until September.

Regardless of what you do for fun this summer, great skin always makes any occasion that much better.
