It’s the height of summer in Redmond & Bend, Oregon. The sun is shining, and the temperatures soar perfectly for a lazy day by the pool or an adventurous hike. But while we adore the beautiful sunshine, our skin may not feel the same. Prolonged exposure to the summer sun can lead to signs of premature aging, such as wrinkles and fine lines. Is there a solution? Absolutely!

Today at EsthetixMD, we are here to help you delve into the world of Botox®, RF fractional microneedling, laser treatment, and medical-grade skincare, and learn how they can help maintain a youthful appearance despite the harsh summer sun. Our team is here to share advice, tips, and facts to enhance your summer skincare routine. 

The Summer Blessing and Curse for Our Skin

While we love summer, it’s essential to acknowledge its impact on our skin. UV radiation from the sun can lead to wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots. Luckily, located in the heart of Central Oregon, EsthetixMD is a medical spa dedicated to providing services that nurture and heal the skin, even during the harshest summer conditions. 

Skin Treatments

Skin treatments such as lasers and RF fractional microneedling, along with SPF protection and other medical-grade skincare, can effectively complement injectables like Botox. Static wrinkles, which remain even when your face is relaxed, are best treated with a combination of botulinum toxin and dermal fillers. Additionally, treatments like chemical peels, microdermabrasion, radiofrequency microneedling, and laser resurfacing are commonly used to address these wrinkles. To help prevent wrinkles from forming, we recommend preventative medical-grade skincare, including growth factors, retinol or tretinoin, melanin suppressants, hyaluronic acid (either topically or injected with SkinVive), and SPF. At EsthetixMD, we believe in a holistic approach that combines various treatments to achieve the best results for your skin.

Botox The Summer Skincare Ally

One of our services is Botox. But how does Botox work, you may ask? Botox, a popular cosmetic treatment, works by temporarily paralyzing muscles to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. It contains a purified form of botulinum toxin, which blocks the nerve signals that cause muscles to contract when injected in small doses. By preventing these contractions, Botox smooths out dynamic wrinkles, such as crow’s feet and frown lines, caused by repetitive facial movements. The effects of Botox typically last for three to six months, after which the muscles gradually regain their activity, and wrinkles may reappear, requiring additional treatments to maintain a youthful appearance. During the hot summer months, increased perspiration can cause more oiliness on the skin, leading to acne and other skin issues. Botox, however, can help control those excessive sweat glands, making it your summer skincare hero!

Laser Treatments for Summer Skincare

Laser treatments are perfect for addressing summer skin damage. They use focused light energy to reduce sunspots, hyperpigmentation, and fine lines by stimulating collagen production and promoting healthy skin cell regeneration. These treatments can also improve skin texture and tone, offering noticeable results with minimal downtime, making them ideal for maintaining your skin’s health and beauty during the summer.

About Summer RF Fractional Microneedling

RF fractional microneedling combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to enhance collagen and elastin production. This treatment effectively reduces fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven skin texture while tightening and firming the skin. With minimal downtime, RF fractional microneedling is an excellent option for rejuvenating your skin and combating the effects of summer sun exposure.

Benefits of Skin Treatments in the Summertime

Less is More

Simplify your routine this summer with Botox. Once you’ve had Botox, you will likely notice a decrease in wrinkles, rejuvenating your appearance. Adding treatments like microneedling and laser therapies can further enhance your skin’s appearance by promoting collagen production and improving texture, making your routine even more effective.

Boost in Confidence

Don’t we all want to hit the beach or pool feeling confident? Botox can not only reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles, but it can also lead to smoother skin. Complementing Botox with microneedling and laser treatments can provide a more comprehensive solution, improving skin tone, reducing pigmentation, and giving your skin a radiant, youthful glow. These treatments work together to enhance your natural beauty, allowing you to enjoy summer with confidence.

Undo The Damage

It’s never too late to undo the damage caused by sun exposure. Botox is a brilliant corrective treatment, relaxing the muscles and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the skin. Paired with treatments like microneedling, laser therapies, and a regimen of medical-grade skincare, you can effectively repair and rejuvenate your skin. This combination helps address various aspects of skin damage, ensuring a comprehensive and effective approach to maintaining youthful, healthy skin throughout the summer.
