5 Doctor-Approved Facials for Summer

To renew the skin’s surface and achieve perfect luminosity, there are outpatient treatments that do not require recovery time.

We all know that during cold periods, practically any treatment that peels the skin, is “aggressive” and produces a powerful effect, can be done with the eyes closed (even to endure pain, since many are not painless). But in the summer things change.

“Obviously we must always consider the seasons [na indicação de um procedimento]. In general, the most ablative treatments are carried out in the winter period, when the incidence of ultraviolet rays is lower. This helps protect the patient’s skin from imperfections, irritability and hypersensitivity”, underlines Ana Maria Pellegrini, member of the Brazilian Society of Dermatology.

«In fact there are no treatments prohibited in summer, it all depends on the indication and the patient, if he is a person who usually does not expose himself to the sun, what his daily habits are. But today, in the office, we have several preferable resources to improve skin texture and treat fine wrinkles, imperfections and stimulate collagen at this time of year,” he adds.

Below, expert doctors tell you how to beat the heat and still produce facial rejuvenating results:

Confidence in injectables

Injectable procedures, according to Ana Maria Pellegrini, are recommended in summer for a number of reasons and have different mechanisms of action, ranging from muscle paralysis (botulinum toxin) to treat wrinkles, to collagen stimulation (biostimulators) and hydration. skinbooster).

«They act inside the skin and we always recommend using sunscreen. But there is no downtime (recovery time), so the patient can immediately return to normal activities,” he comments.

Cláudia Merlo, doctor in Cosmetology at the BWS Institute, underlines that collagen biostimulators, for example, are great allies:

“They stimulate the cells of our body (fibroblasts) to produce collagen, which has the function of maintaining the structure of the face. Biostimulators are important for preventing aging and for rejuvenating treatments,” explains Cláudia Merlo.

“When we combine a collagen biostimulator (calcium hydroxyapatite) with hyaluronic acid in the same syringe, we create a favorable environment for collagen-producing cells, as hydrated skin responds better to biostimulators,” adds Cláudia.

Botulinum toxin in the neck

Is it possible to achieve good facial rejuvenation results in summer? Yes, especially with good advice, according to Cláudia Merlo. One of these is botulinum toxin in the neck region, which also helps support the face.

“As we age, we lose compartments of facial fat and collagen; As a result, the structures droop, forming the dreaded bulldog (flabby cheeks), double chin (double chin) and wrinkles on the neck. Many people want to treat only the face, but they forget that the platysma muscle, in the neck, can help accelerate aging and that melting sensation on the face”, explains Cláudia.

“To avoid this type of situation, facial treatments must also be extended to the neck and one of these is botulinum toxin,” he adds.

According to the doctor, repeated contraction of the platysma, the muscle of the neck region, causes the loss of facial contour.

“I always warn patients about the importance of using botulinum toxin on the face and neck. This platysma muscle is a facial depressor, that is, the contractions tend to pull the entire region of the lower third downwards,” explains the doctor.

Botulinum toxin has no contraindications for summer use.

Change hydrofacial acids

Are you lacking acids to renew your skin’s surface and show off that glowing complexion? There is an alternative to these ingredients which are photosensitive. According to dermatologist Mônica Aribi, member of the Brazilian Society of Dermatology, a good strategy is to opt for Hydrafacial hydrodermabrasion.

“Hydrafacial promotes an instant improvement in skin quality, helping to standardize tone and texture and increase skin firmness, brightness, softness and luminosity thanks to a patented technology that can easily expel and remove impurities from the skin while providing hydrating solutions,” explains the dermatologist.

The procedure does not require any recovery time and the only indication, which is universal, is the use of sunscreen.

Microfocused ultrasound

“This technology can be carried out at any time of the year, since its action is profound to stimulate collagen, also acting on the SMAS (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System), which is the deepest muscle layer, to have a lifting effect. And it preserves the surface of the skin”, explains Ana Maria Pellegrini.

One of the new features is the Atria device: “It is a wildcard treatment indicated for different aging processes and which promotes two different stimuli for the creation of new collagen, thanks to the application with the tip of the scanner and with the tip of the pen ”, explains the doctor.

“After surgery, the only recommendation is to use sunscreen to protect your skin,” he advises.

The modern laser is an ally

“Today, lasers work through what we know as selective photothermolysis, meaning each pulse of light, at appropriate wavelengths, acts on specific structures within the skin. They thus manage to preserve the surface and stimulate collagen in the deeper layers. And this is important, since the patient has a lower risk of irritation and discomfort in the warmer seasons. In this period the ideal is to treat with non-ablative lasers”, adds Ana.

Finally, Cláudia Merlo underlines that each treatment must be personalized. «Many patients believe they need botulinum toxin, for example, but the indication may be different, such as a collagen biostimulator. The ideal is to always consult a doctor,” she concludes.
