Such a common question we hear this time of year is:
"Can I still have laser treatments during the summer?"
The short answer is yes! While some treatments require extra precautions due to increased sun exposure, many of today's most popular treatments can still be safely performed throughout the summer months.
Why Are Some Treatments Limited in the Summer?
Certain treatments increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun. When freshly treated skin is exposed to UV rays, there may be an increased risk of irritation, pigmentation, or delayed healing.
This doesn't mean you need to put your skincare goals on hold—it simply means choosing the right treatments and being diligent with sun protection.
Summer-Friendly Treatments
Many treatments can be safely performed year-round, including:
- Neuromodulators (Botox®, Xeomin®)
- Dermal Fillers
- Microneedling
-
The JetPeel
- The MOXI
- PRP Hair Restoration
- Skincare Consultations and Medical-Grade Skincare
These treatments can help maintain healthy, glowing skin while fitting seamlessly into your summer lifestyle.
Laser Treatments?
Some laser treatments can still be performed during the summer, while others may be best scheduled during the fall and winter months.
The decision depends on several factors, including:
- Your skin type
- Recent sun exposure
- Upcoming travel plans
- The specific laser being used
- Your individual treatment goals
This is why a consultation with an experienced provider is so important.
The Importance of SPF
No matter what treatment you choose, sunscreen remains your most important skincare product.
Daily broad-spectrum sun protection helps:
- Protect treatment results
- Reduce premature aging
- Prevent pigmentation concerns
- Support healthy skin year-round
Remember: SPF isn't just for beach days. It's an essential part of every skincare routine.
Should You Wait Until Fall?
Not necessarily.
Many patients achieve excellent results by continuing their treatments throughout the summer with the proper skincare and sun protection plan. In fact, maintaining your treatments year-round often leads to better long-term results than stopping for several months.
The Bottom Line
Summer doesn't have to mean taking a break from your skincare goals. With the right treatment plan, proper sun protection, and guidance from your provider, many aesthetic treatments can be safely enjoyed throughout the season.
