Summer Skin Care: Essential Treatments to Maintain Healthy Skin
As summer rolls in, it’s important to adjust your skincare routine to address the unique challenges that come with the season. At Refined Image Ottawa, we offer a range of treatments to help you maintain healthy, radiant skin all summer long. Summer doesn’t mean it is time to take a break from treatments. Infact it is crucial to continue certain treatments to maintain healthy glowing long-term skin. Here are some essential treatments and their benefits:
Botox and Fillers
Botox and fillers are excellent treatments for maintaining a youthful appearance. Botox works by temporarily relaxing the facial muscles that cause wrinkles, particularly around the forehead and eyes, preventing the formation of new lines and smoothing existing ones. Dermal fillers restore lost volume, plump up the skin, and reduce the appearance of deep lines and hollows, especially in areas like the cheeks, lips, and nasolabial folds. Together, Botox and fillers offer a comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation, ensuring smooth, youthful skin throughout the summer.
Biostimulators
Biostimulators, such as Sculptra, are designed to stimulate the body’s natural collagen production. Collagen is essential for keeping the skin firm and resilient, and biostimulators help improve skin texture and elasticity over time. This treatment provides gradual, long-lasting results, making your skin look smoother and firmer, perfect for the summer months.
PICO PRO Laser
The PICO PRO laser is an advanced treatment that targets pigmentation, acne scars, and fine lines with precision. It uses ultra-short pulses to break down pigment particles and stimulate collagen production without damaging surrounding tissue. The result is a clearer, more even complexion with reduced signs of aging and sun damage, making it an ideal treatment for maintaining skin clarity and brightness during summer.
Hydrafacial
A Hydrafacial is a non-invasive treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates the skin in one session. Using patented vortex technology, it removes impurities and dead skin cells while infusing the skin with nourishing serums. This treatment addresses multiple skin concerns, including dehydration, dullness, and congestion, leaving your skin refreshed, radiant, and deeply hydrated.
PICOFACIAL (Combination of PICO and Hydrafacial)
The PICOFACIAL combines the benefits of the PICO PRO laser and the Hydrafacial for a comprehensive skincare treatment. This combination addresses both surface and deeper skin concerns such as pigmentation, texture, and hydration. By using the PICO PRO laser to treat pigmentation and stimulate collagen, followed by a Hydrafacial to cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate, the PICOFACIAL provides powerful and effective results, ensuring your skin looks its best all summer long.
Laser Facials (ELITE IQ or GENESIS)
Laser facials like ELITE IQ and GENESIS offer advanced solutions for various skin concerns. The ELITE IQ laser targets unwanted hair and pigmentation, providing precise and effective results for smooth, even-toned skin. The GENESIS laser facial focuses on improving skin texture and tone by stimulating collagen production and reducing redness. Both treatments are suitable for summer use, helping you achieve a clear, even complexion.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are effective for exfoliating the skin, removing dead skin cells, and promoting cell turnover. They can help reduce the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation. During summer, opt for lighter peels to avoid excessive sun sensitivity, ensuring smoother, brighter skin.
Facials
Regular facials tailored to your skin type and concerns can help maintain healthy skin. Facials provide deep cleansing, exfoliation, and hydration, addressing issues like congestion, dryness, and dullness. They are an excellent way to keep your skin refreshed and glowing throughout the summer.
RF Microneedling (Potenza or Morpheus)
RF Microneedling combines the benefits of microneedling and radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin. Treatments like Potenza or Morpheus penetrate deeper layers of the skin, promoting firmer, smoother skin and reducing the appearance of scars and wrinkles. This advanced treatment is ideal for maintaining skin elasticity and a youthful appearance during the summer.
