The Truth About Getting Aesthetic Treatments in the Summer
Summer is here, and so is the myth that you have to pause your aesthetic treatments until fall. The truth? You don’t have to wait. Most treatments are completely safe year-round when you follow the right aftercare.
Myth #1 — You Can’t Get Botox or Filler in the Summer
False. Botox and fillers are safe to get any time of year, including summer. Heat does not directly affect your results. The main thing to keep in mind is avoiding direct sun exposure and excessive sweating in the first 24 hours after treatment.
What to Do After Your Appointment
Stay out of direct sunlight for at least 24 hours. Wear SPF daily. Avoid saunas and intense workouts the same day.
Myth #2 — Lasers and Summer Don’t Mix
This one has some truth to it, but it’s not a reason to skip treatment. Laser treatments require extra sun protection before and after. Because your skin is more sensitive post-treatment, daily SPF 30 or higher is non-negotiable. With the right precautions, laser treatments are still a great option in the summer months.
Tips for Laser Treatments in Summer
Apply SPF every morning without fail. Avoid prolonged sun exposure on treated areas. Wear a hat when spending time outdoors.
Myth #3 — Chemical Peels Are Off-Limits Until Fall
Not entirely true. Lighter peels can absolutely be done in the summer. Deeper peels may require more downtime and sun avoidance, so those are worth discussing with your provider. A consultation helps us find the right peel strength for your skin and your lifestyle this time of year.
Myth #4 — Sweating Will Ruin Your Results
This is one of the most common concerns we hear. Light sweating from your daily routine is not a problem. We simply recommend avoiding intense workouts, hot tubs, and saunas for the first 24 to 48 hours after most injectable treatments.
Myth #5 — You Should Wait Until Fall to Start Treatments
There is no reason to put your goals on hold. Starting your aesthetic treatments now means you will already be seeing results by the time fall and the holiday season arrive. Summer is actually a great time to get ahead.
So What Can You Get Done This Summer?
The quick answer is most things. Each of our aesthetic services these can be tailored to your skin and your summer schedule.
The Key to Summer Treatments Is Aftercare
Sun protection is the common thread across every treatment. Because UV exposure is higher in summer, wearing SPF daily is the most important thing you can do to protect your investment and your results.
