After a season of sun exposure, traveling, and long, hot days, your skin might be sending out an SOS. UV exposure, heat, humidity, sweat, and city pollution all work together to dehydrate, inflame, and prematurely age the skin. At Elite Aesthetics, we believe summer fun shouldn’t come at the expense of your glow. With the proper guidance and right treatments, you can restore balance and radiance heading into fall!
Our skin experts are here to help you address your skin concerns post summer months and set realistic expectations for improving your glow.
How Summer Affects the Skin
Even with diligent SPF use, summer can leave its mark. Common post-summer skin concerns include:
- Hyperpigmentation: UV exposure stimulates melanin production, leading to uneven tone, dark spots, melasma, and PIH.
- Dehydration & Barrier Damage: Salt water, chlorine, and air conditioning strip natural moisture, leaving skin dull and tight.
- Breakouts & Congestion: Sweat and excess sunscreen can clog pores, causing summer breakouts.
- Accelerated Aging: UV rays break down collagen and elastin, resulting in fine lines and loss of firmness.
Professional Treatments to Restore Your Glow
There is no one size fits all treatment. When you come in for a consultation, we take into consideration your age, skin type, and skin concerns to recommend a science-backed, customized plan to treat summer skin damage effectively. Our most popular options include:
VI Peel
A powerhouse chemical peel that sheds the top layer of your skin, resurfacing, fading stubborn sunspots, and stimulating collagen production. VI Peel uses a synergistic blend of TCA, retinoic acid, salicylic acid, phenol, and vitamin C to brighten uneven tone, smooth rough texture, and restore a youthful glow.
Microneedling with Salmon DNA (Mermaid Facial)
Microneedling boosts cell turnover and collagen synthesis, while Salmon DNA provides powerful antioxidants and hydration - a perfect combination for post-summer repair.
Lumecca IPL
Lumecca IPL uses broad-spectrum light to penetrate the skin and break down excess pigment, lightening and evening the complexion.
CO2 Laser Treatment
This treatment stimulates your body’s natural healing process, replacing damaged tissue with fresh, healthy skin cells while boosting collagen and elastin production. It can correct pigmentation, restore even skin tone, rebuild collagen, tighten the skin, and improve skin texture.
At-Home Support: Extend Your Results
Professional treatments are most effective when paired with a smart at-home routine. The best and most effective way to see results from your treatments is by regularly using medical grade products in your at home skincare regimen. Medical-grade products are developed with clinical research, rigorous testing and contain higher concentrations of potent, active ingredient for faster results. Your dermatologist or trusted nurse practitioner may recommend including:
- Vitamin C Serum: Fights free-radical damage and brightens sunspots.
- Hyaluronic Acid: Replenishes hydration and plumps the skin barrier.
- Retinol or Retinoid: Stimulates cell turnover to fade pigmentation and smooth fine lines.
- Cyspera: Uses active ingredient cysteamine, a naturally occurring antioxidant that reduces melanin production at the source.
- Rejuran Healing Cream: Created with PDRN (Salmon DNA), this product restores the skin barrier, soothes inflammation, and accelerates cellular repair for smoother, healthier, more resilient skin.
- Broad-Spectrum SPF 30+: Daily protection is key to prevent future damage, and yes, apply it all year long!
