What can you do in the cabin in the summer?

biorevitalization

A good choice before the holidays would be a biorevitalization process. It will help replenish the reserves of hyaluronic acid in the skin and stimulate its active production. Biorevitalization will help minimize photodamage from active sunlight and prevent dehydration. Injections are injected into the deep layers of the skin, at the level of the dermis – such powerful hydration will not be given by any face cream or serum that works on the surface.

BBL phototherapy

There is a common myth that BBL cannot be done in the summer. In fact, there is no point in performing anti-pigmentation procedures in the summer, since after the procedure the skin becomes more sensitive to ultraviolet radiation, and the results of correction may become unstable. However, broadband light phototherapy can be done all year round for the treatment of rosacea, acne and post-acne, rejuvenation and improvement of skin quality. In this case, the doctor selects other filters on the device.

Botox injections

Botulinum toxin perfectly smoothes both the small mimic wrinkles that appear when we squint in the bright sun and the deeper wrinkles. In addition, you can “trick” Botox a little preemptively to relax muscles that are prone to spasm and prevent the appearance of new wrinkles in the future.

contour plastic

Another off-season procedure is volume modeling of the face with the help of hyaluronic acid fillers. We can add volume to the lips, highlight the cheekbones, shape a beautiful chin, fill the depression in the nasolacrimal groove for a more “live” look.

hardware removal

Ultrasonic lifting Ultherapy can be performed according to indications from the age of 25. It creates an oval model, eliminates drooping cheeks, sagging in the chin area and sagging of the eyelids. Lifting with Thermage radio wave tightens the skin and softens the fine wrinkle network. And with the help of Skin Tyte infrared thermolifting, you can get rid of swelling of the face and achieve an instant lifting effect – this is an excellent “out” procedure.

What can not be done in the cabin in the summer?

In the hot season, procedures that cause serious damage to the skin should be avoided. This will prevent the appearance of pigmentation, burns and other complications.

Laser resurfacing and needle RF removal with aggressive parameters are prohibited. It is better to leave these procedures for the autumn-winter period.

In addition, it is worth abandoning the deep and medium crusts. However, the ban does not apply to light superficial (based on low doses of mandelic or lactic acid).

What to do at home in the summer?

Use products with a light texture (gels, liquids, emulsions) so that they do not clog pores, clean and moisturize the skin well, and add cosmetics with antioxidants.

And of course use a cream with an SPF filter every day, even in the city in the summer and on cloudy days. A big mistake is to remember only about sun protection on the beach, this is fraught with premature aging of the skin. We’ve answered all the most frequently asked questions about sun protection here.

With a tendency to pigmentation, since spring introduce home care products that reduce the production of melanin – for example, with thiamidol or arbutin in the composition.
