Skincare to Get Your Skin Summer-Ready
As things start heating up, it’s time to adjust your skincare routine. The increased UV index, pollution, and warmer temperatures affect our skin differently than the cold winter months. To keep your skin glowing and healthy, you may need to make a few swaps.
The secret to a winning summer skincare routine? Antioxidants + Hydration + SPF
Lightweight Hydration
Swap out your rich winter moisturizer for something lighter that still gives your skin the hydration it needs without the heaviness.
Antioxidant Protection
Summer brings more pollutants that can break down collagen. Keep your skin protected with powerful antioxidants.
Sunscreen On-The-Go
You know you should re-apply your SPF every 2 hours, but do you actually do it? No more excuses. With Colorescience SPF powder you can touch up your SPF and mattify your skin in one step.
Prevent Dark Spots
Does your pigmentation flare up during the summer? Look for products that help control melanocytes to keep your skin bright and even, like ZO Skin Health’s Brightalive Skin Brightener.
Take getting summer-ready up a notch with these beauty and skin treatments
On top of swapping skincare to adjust to the hotter weather, we’re swapping clothes! From swimsuits to shorts, tank tops to sundresses, we all want to look and feel our best. Whether you're dealing with excessive sweating, visible spider veins on your legs, or simply want to improve your skin health, there are treatments available to help you feel confident and comfortable all summer long.
BOTOX FOR EXCESSIVE SWEATING
Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, is a common condition that affects many people. It can be embarrassing and uncomfortable, especially during the summer months when temperatures are high. Botox is a popular treatment for excessive sweating because it works by blocking the signals that trigger sweat production. This treatment is most commonly used in the underarms, but can also be used on the hands and feet.
Botox injections for excessive sweating are relatively quick and painless.
The treatment usually takes about 30 minutes, and patients can return to their daily activities immediately after the procedure. Results can last up to 6 months, making Botox a great solution for staying dry and confident during the summer months.
GLASS BOTOX FACIAL FOR FACIAL SWEATING
Facial sweating can be a frustrating and embarrassing problem, especially during the summer when temperatures are high. The Glass Botox Facial is a bespoke treatment that can help reduce excessive sweating on the face while reducing pore size and treating acne. This treatment involves injecting small amounts of Botox into the sweat glands on the face. This helps to reduce the production of sweat, resulting in a more comfortable and confident summer.
The Glass Botox Facial is a quick and painless treatment that can be completed in as little as 15 minutes.
Results can last up to 6 months, making this treatment a great solution for those who suffer from excessive sweating on the face.
SCLEROTHERAPY FOR UNSIGHTLY LEG VEINS
Many people are self-conscious about the appearance of their legs, particularly if they have visible spider veins. Sclerotherapy is a popular treatment for bulging leg veins that involves injecting a solution into the vein, causing it to collapse and fade over time. This treatment is particularly effective for small to medium-sized spider veins.
Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure that can be completed in as little as 30 minutes. Patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the treatment, and can expect to see results within a few weeks. While results may vary, most patients see a significant reduction in the appearance of their leg veins. The average person requires 2 treatments, but some will need more or less depending on the severity.
Cryogen Therapy to get rid of Unwanted Skin Tags
Cryogen therapy is an effective solution for those looking to remove those pesky skin tags. This treatment involves the application of extreme cold to the skin tag, causing it to freeze and eventually fall off. It's a quick and minimally invasive procedure on the cellular level that can help you achieve smoother skin without the need for surgical intervention. This allows us to target only the lesion, and reduce damage to surrounding healthy skin. Cryogen therapy also treats cherry angiomas, moles, and age-spots.
