TOP 5 Aesthetic Treatments for Summer
As the temperatures soar, most of us love spending time outdoors for a golden sun-kissed tan. When it comes to increasing melanin in the skin in the most natural way, sun bathing works well, but with the risk of temporary or permanent skin damage. While wearing sunscreen is recommended throughout the year, individuals seeking that bronzed skin skip wearing it during the most crucial time of the year. The ultraviolet rays, both UVA & UVB damage the cellular DNA inviting a bag load of troubles – premature photoaging, sun burn, irregular pigmentation, large freckles, actinic keratoses and skin cancer.
Hence, it is essential to go above and beyond to maintain the integrity of your skin, especially in summers. Here are top 5 fascinating treatments you can try this summer to keep your skin radiant and healthy.
1. Cryofacial
Cryotherapy facials are a non-invasive, medicated yet relaxing facial that involves the use of liquid nitrogen spray in micronized vapor form to increase blood circulation and oxygen supply to the facial skin. This 20-minute procedure feels like a soothing cold blast on the skin that help blood vessels constrict and close open pores. Once the skin temperature normalizes and blood vessels dilate and the increase blood flow helps instantly tighten the skin and reduce facial swelling by improving lymphatic drainage. Due to the blast of cold vapor, Cryofacial also helps reduce redness and treats lifeless skin, which is common due to excess sun exposure in summers.
Steps involved:
- Cleansing and prepping skin
- Massage
- Cryotherapy
- Infusion of vitamins, LED treatments (optional/adjunctive steps)
- Face mask
Procedure time: 30-40 mins, cryotherapy session: 3 mins
Downtime: None
2. Bio-revitalizer Mesotherapy
Have you wondered how to maintain a shiny dewy complexion especially after a long day of summer activities? Mesotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure used to repair and nourish the skin by infusing a nano-molecular cocktail of biorevitalisers such as amino acids, peptides, plant derivates, vitamins, etc. This cocktail of vitamins and antioxidants is made to penetrate the deeper layers of the skin with the help of microneedles, microinjections, electroporation, or can be used as an adjuvant to chemical peeling, laser therapy, dermabrasion, radiofrequency, dermal fillers, and platelet rich plasma therapy, that helps the skin fight toxins and free radicals released due to stress, lifestyle, sun exposure and pollution. A couple of sessions are required for desirable results; however, each session imparts a radiant glow to the skin and treats areas of discoloration as well.

3. Skin Booster
Collagen is a major structural protein that provides the skin with its integral structure and strength. With prolonged sun exposure, an increase in enzymatic collagen fragmentation occurs, that leads to the formation of wrinkles. Neo-collagenesis is a process of formation of new collagen, through the process of wound-repair, where in collagen remodeling leads to an increase in procollagen and matrix metallo-proteinases that helps minimizing facial lines and wrinkles. Skin Boosters are a revolutionary low molecular weight Hyaluronic acid complex, that are combined with various other amino acids, vitamins and active ingredients and are acknowledged as a bio-remodeler in the industry. It stimulates collagen receptors and induces long-lasting neo-collagenesis by remodeling the multilayer skin tissue. Few treatment sessions, month apart, imparts dewy complexion, hydrated taut skin, improves overall skin laxity and prevents photoaging.

4. Lipolysis
While you are getting ready for the summer months, reaching your beach body goals can take up to 16 weeks. Despite shedding some pounds as well as doing months of weights and circuits, in some individuals there can be problem areas that don’t budge such as the double chin, love handles, upper-arms, back rolls and cheek fat. These small pockets of fat that need extra attention can be treated with lipolytic injections. Lipolytic injections are a concoction of intra-lipotherapeutic agents such as phosphatidylcholine (PPC) and sodium deoxycholate (SDC) along with amino acids and peptides. Injection lipolysis activates natural lipid metabolism and triggers intensive lipolysis processes, resulting in rapid dissolution of subcutaneous fat. Initially, after the first session the treated area feels softer and over 2-4 weeks a visible reduction in the fat bulge is noted.
