Five Ways to Get Your Skin Ready for Summer
Advertisement
After the chilly winter days and Spring warm-up are over, you might be preparing for the hot summer with a fresh new look. Summer is a great time to get outdoors and enjoy the sunshine – with plenty of sunscreen by your side – but you can prepare for the season by giving your skin a mini makeover with a number of treatments available at the dermatology office.
From laser skin resurfacing to dermal fillers, here are five ways to get your skin ready for the summer months ahead:
Get a Chemical Peel
Chemical peels are a popular treatment at medical spas and dermatology offices around the country and can help remove layers of dead skin cells to reveal the smooth and attractive layer underneath. Chemical peel treatments are especially beneficial for aging skin since they can reduce or remove age spots, reduce the appearance of fine lines and boost collagen production. Lighter peels such as Alphahydroxy (AHA) and Beta lift peels are a good start if you’ve never had a chemical peel or have sensitive skin. All of these skin rejuvenation treatments can help revitalize the skin and clear up blemishes, scars and even some light wrinkles.
Try Laser Skin Resurfacing
Laser skin resurfacing continues to improve with today’s innovative technology and equipment, and offer a more powerful skin resurfacing treatment than chemical peels or microdermabrasion alone. Some cosmetic surgeons and dermatologists recommend a combination of peels and laser resurfacing treatments to achieve long-lasting effects. While there is some downtime involved, pain and redness from these skin enhancing treatments typically subside within a week.
Get Your Diet in Shape
Fixing your diet won’t always allow for dramatic results achieved from chemical peels and other cosmetic procedures, but will allow you become more healthy and refreshed – the precursors for great looking skin. Foods with antioxidants support healthy collagen production which helps create smooth and supple skin. Adding leafy green vegetables, prunes, pinto beans and cranberries to your diet can help your skin look better all season long.
Pick a Few Dermal Fillers
Juvederm and Restylane are just two dermal fillers that can help you get rid of wrinkles, fine lines and uneven skin contours with ease. The injections both have benefits and drawbacks, but you’ll be able to erase those signs of aging with just a few treatments. When you want to show off smooth and supple skin over summer season, dermal fillers offer a quick and convenient anti-aging solution. While there is some downtime involved, these dermal fillers can help you reclaim that youthful look of yesterday.
Get Rid of Fat and Cellulite with SmartLipo
SmartLipo, also known as laser assisted liposculpture, is a painless body reshaping treatment that can help you lose those extra pockets of fat and tighten and tone the skin. If you’re struggling with cellulite and other areas of fatty tissue that just won’t budget, SmartLipo is a simple procedure that you can have done right before summer season. Most patients recover from SmartLipo approximately 72 hours after treatment – if you’ve got a free weekend ahead, it’s an ideal time for recovery. This fat removal procedure melts away fatty tissue with a powerful laser, and everything is flushed out of your lymphatic system. The treatment is now available at many cosmetic surgery centers across the country, and most people enjoy visible results after just one session.
From SmartLipo for fat removal to dermal fillers to get rid of wrinkles, preparing your skin for the summer months will be an ongoing process. Get a head start on the season by booking an appointment for your selected procedure at your local dermatologist’s office, or with a cosmetic surgeon in your area. An initial consultation is all it takes to get started on your treatment, and you can look forward to a fresh new look for the warmer months ahead.
