We’ve compiled this guide to ensure you’re all set for the season.
Let’s get started.
1. Hair
Unwanted hair in areas like your underarms or pubic regions can be frustrating, especially during summer. Wearing breezy outfits, hitting the beach, and spending time outdoors can draw attention to it and make you feel self-conscious. Likewise, its outright absence in wanted areas, such as the scalp.
Laser Hair Removal (LHR) provides a lasting solution for minimizing unwanted hair, leaving you with enduring results.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a safe and effective method to improve hair growth and thickness, helping to regain confidence.
Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is a method of eliminating unwanted hair by directing laser energy onto the hair follicles. This process focuses on the melanin in the follicles, absorbing the light and converting it into heat. As a result, the follicle is weakened without causing damage to the surrounding skin.
Laser hair removal provides long-lasting results. It helps remove hair and reduces ingrown hairs, resulting in smoother skin.
Laser hair removal is generally safe and effective for various skin and hair types. However, temporary redness or swelling may occur as potential side effects, considering factors such as skin sensitivity and hair color.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy, or PRP therapy, is a modern and safe treatment designed to effectively stimulate hair growth using your body’s natural healing abilities.
This is how it works: A small sample of your blood is taken, and the platelets containing healing growth factors are separated out. These platelets are then carefully injected into the affected areas of the scalp. This process revitalizes dormant hair follicles and encourages the growth of new, healthy hair.
Following the procedure, you can expect minimal downtime and resume your normal activities shortly afterward. Be sure to follow all post-treatment instructions provided to maximize results.
It's important to note that results won't be immediate. While individual experiences may vary, most notice improvements within a few months of treatment.
2. Face + Body (Tightening)
Fine lines and loose skin become more noticeable in the summer.
Skin tightening treatments, such as Thermage, can help address these concerns and make the skin firm and smooth again.
Thermage
Thermage on Jawline: Before and After
Thermage is a non-surgical method for skin tightening that uses radiofrequency energy to encourage collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin, leading to improved skin texture, tone and firmness through natural collagen regeneration.
Thermage offers the advantage of minimal downtime so that you can get back to your routine soon after the procedure. While some people may experience mild redness or swelling, these effects generally fade quickly.
Another advantage is its ability to effectively address common issues such as wrinkles, fine lines and skin looseness. With continued proper care, Thermage provides lasting outcomes and serves as a non-invasive option for attaining firmer and more youthful skin.
3. Face + Body (Complexion)
During the colder months, we tend to layer up, while in the summer, we wear less, exposing our faces more. This can be uncomfortable for some, particularly for those with skin issues such as acne scars or uneven tone. These concerns may lead to self-consciousness during summer activities or social gatherings.
Microneedling is the solution you’ve been searching for.
Microneedling
Microneedling is a procedure that revitalizes the skin by making small punctures with a device containing tiny needles. This procedure stimulates collagen production, reducing fine lines and wrinkles and improving skin texture.
In addition, it helps minimize scars and pigmentation, leading to a more even complexion.
Microneedling can be done in addition to Plasma-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy.
The procedure feels like a prickling sensation, so we use a topical anesthetic to minimize any pain.
Following the procedure, your skin may appear red or swollen, like a mild sunburn, but these effects typically subside within a day or two. Visible improvements usually become apparent within a few weeks as collagen production boosts, enhancing overall skin appearance.
4. Body
Even with proper diet and exercise, persistent fat can be challenging to get rid of.
Body contouring techniques such as CoolSculpting offer a solution to this problem.
CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting in St. Catharines: Before and After
CoolSculpting is a non-surgical method for shaping the body by targeting and removing persistent fat deposits. The process involves using a device to cool specific areas, which freezes and eliminates fat cells while leaving surrounding tissues unharmed.
Over time, the body naturally removes these cells, resulting in a more pronounced and defined look.
CoolSculpting provides personalized treatment options for the abdomen, sides, thighs and upper arms, allowing you to achieve your objectives.
