The 3 Essential Skin and Body Treatments to Get You Summer-Ready
Summer is just around the corner, meaning that it’s time to prepare for endless beach days and outdoor fun. But if you’re bothered by concerns like stubborn fat, wrinkles or dry skin that have you feeling self-conscious, the experts at Wink Medical Aesthetics have the inside scoop on the hottest procedures that can help you look your best this season. Keep reading to learn more about our skin and body treatments that will have you summer-ready in no time.
1. Shed Stubborn Fat With CoolSculpting
This summer, you deserve to feel fabulous in your favorite swimsuit. But if you’ve struggled to shed those last few pounds in common problem areas like the hips, thighs or abdomen, CoolSculpting can help you get rid of stubborn fat that doesn’t respond to diet or exercise.
CoolSculpting is a nonsurgical FDA-approved body contouring procedure that harnesses the power of cold temperatures to eliminate unwanted fat and sculpt a slimmer physique. It works by using cutting-edge technology called cryolipolysis to target and freeze fat cells beneath the skin. These frozen fat cells are then naturally eliminated by your body, revealing a more toned and defined shape. The best part? It’s quick, convenient and requires no downtime. You can sculpt your body on your lunch break and be ready to hit the beach in no time.
At Wink Medical Aesthetics, we also offer CoolSculpting Elite, which provides safer, faster and more effective treatments than its predecessor. Improved applicators ensure superior contact with the targeted area and can freeze more fat with each cycle, optimizing your results. Once unwanted fat is treated and destroyed with CoolSculpting, it doesn’t come back, so you’ll be able to enjoy your new look all summer as long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle.
2. Turn Back the Clock With Dermal Fillers
Some treatments that target concerns like fine lines, wrinkles or volume loss come with aftercare instructions that include limiting your sun exposure. In the summer months, this is easier said than done. Fortunately, dermal fillers can help you turn back the clock on aging and restore a naturally youthful appearance without interrupting your fun in the sun.
Dermal fillers like Restylane, Juvéderm and Sculptra act as volumizers that counteract the effects of decreased collagen and elastin production, plumping up areas of sagging skin to erase unwanted lines and wrinkles. They use hyaluronic acid, poly-L-lactic acid and other proven ingredients to rejuvenate your skin with little to no downtime. Unlike cosmetic surgeries or laser resurfacing, you can enjoy the sun immediately after treatment. However, it’s still important to use a high-quality 30 SPF or higher sunscreen like Skin Medica’s Essential Defense Mineral Shield to protect your skin (and your results) from damaging UV rays — too much sun can cause hyaluronic acid-based fillers to degrade faster.
Whether you’re dealing with tired eyes, sunken cheeks, thin lips or wrinkles, dermal fillers are an effective way to restore your skin’s elasticity and give you a refreshed look that lasts all summer. Another great option for achieving a youthful look this season is Botox, a popular injectable that smoothes away expression lines caused by squinting, smiling or frowning.
3. Get That Summer Glow With HydraFacial
Summer is a season full of warmth, sunshine and outdoor activities. However, the change in weather can wreak havoc on your skin. The heat and humidity increase pore-clogging sweat and oil production, while sun exposure zaps away moisture and hydration. These effects can contribute to concerns like acne breakouts, dry patches and a dull-looking complexion.
That’s why protecting and pampering your skin this summer with the right treatments is crucial to maintaining a healthy glow. One of our favorite options is HydraFacial, a noninvasive skin resurfacing procedure that uses patented technology to cleanse, exfoliate, hydrate and nourish all in one. No matter how the summer weather challenges your skin this year, HydraFacial can target various concerns, from fine lines to redness and enlarged pores.
HydraFacial is a quick and simple in-office treatment that works by combining deep cleansing and extraction to remove dirt, oil and other impurities with gentle exfoliation that reveals a fresh layer of skin. Then, the handheld device delivers intense hydration to quench your skin’s thirst and infuse it with antioxidants, peptides and other nourishing ingredients that target your concerns and leave you with a radiant, dewy glow that’s perfect for those summer selfies.
Getting the Most Out of Your Summer Treatments
These essential procedures will help you look great this summer, but you can maximize your results and get the most out of your treatments by following these simple tips:
- Be Consistent: Establish a consistent skin care routine to keep your complexion looking healthy year round. Cleanse, moisturize and protect your skin daily by using high-quality products recommended by our experts. Similarly, eating a balanced diet and getting regular exercise will also help you maintain your CoolSculpting results.
- Stay Hydrated: Proper hydration is key to maintaining healthy and radiant skin. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your skin hydrated from within. Staying hydrated will also help your body flush out treated fat cells more efficiently after a CoolSculpting session to help you achieve the best possible results.
- Protect Your Skin: Protecting your skin from harmful UV rays is crucial, especially during the summer months. Apply sunscreen with a broad-spectrum SPF of 30 or higher, especially when spending time outdoors during peak hours. Additionally, don’t forget to wear protective clothing, sunglasses and wide-brimmed hats to further shield your eyes and skin from harmful sun damage.
- Follow Post-Treatment Instructions: While our nonsurgical treatments offer outstanding results with little to no downtime, it’s important to follow all post-treatment instructions to achieve an optimal outcome and avoid unwanted side effects. Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions and be available to address any questions or concerns you may have after your skin and body procedures.
- Schedule Follow-Up Appointments: Some treatments, such as CoolSculpting, may require multiple sessions to achieve your desired outcome. It’s important to schedule and attend follow-up appointments as recommended by our experts. This allows us to assess your progress, make any necessary adjustments and ensure you continue to see the best results throughout the summer and beyond.
