Everybody loves the summertime because it’s the perfect opportunity to soak up the sun and enjoy fun outdoor activities. While you may relish the sunshine, the UV rays can play havoc with your skin no matter how careful you are about using sunscreen. That’s why post-summer skincare should be a top priority.

Signs of Post-Summer Skin Damage

Too much sun can lead to dull, dry skin, pigmentation, acne breakouts and other types of skin damage. So what can you do to help your skin recover after the summer? Treatments that cleanse, exfoliate and moisturise skin can reverse the effects of UV radiation and give your skin a fresh start.

Treatments for Sun-Damaged Skin

Rejuvenate Dull, Dry Skin

If the hot, sunny weather leaves your skin dull, dry, and irritated LED light therapy can soothe your skin and enhance its natural healing.  

Dryness and irritation are signs that your skin’s moisture barrier is compromised. Hydrating serums heighten skin repair, making skin soft and dewy again. At our clinic, we use the Zeitschild BR Barrier Repair Crème to renew dry skin. This therapeutic cream restores the skin’s moisture levels and nourishes from within.   

Reduce Pigmentation

Pigmentation and melasma are common post-summer skin concerns. The excess sun exposure triggers an increase in the production of melanin (pigment), resulting in the formation of darker patches of skin.

Pigmentation reduction treatments such as PRX -T33® Peel and laser therapyerase brown spots, age spots, melasma and other signs of sun damage.

The PRX -T33® Peel is a bio-revitalising formula. This treatment uses trichloroacetic acid and hydrogen peroxide to dissolve dead skin cells and promote clear, even-toned skin.

Lasers treat skin discolouration by targeting excess melanin. The heat generated by the laser breaks up the pigmented cells, which are removed from the body over time.

Clear Acne

The higher summer temperatures cause you to perspire more. Increased perspiration combined with a build-up of sunscreen and excess oil on the surface of the skin can clog the pores and cause an acne outbreak. That’s why people with acne-prone skin tend to experience breakouts during the hotter months.

Mechanical exfoliation removes dead skin cells and other debris from the surface of the skin. Unclogging the pores evens skin tone and improves skin radiance.

HydraFacial also works wonders for acne symptoms. It is a gentle treatment that extracts impurities from the pores and infuses the skin with serums that enhance hydration. HydraFacial uses patented Vortex-Fusion technology to hydrate the skin and boost your glow.

Will I feel the pain from a HydraFacial treatment?

HydraFacial treatments are non-invasive treatments that are suitable for all sin types irrespective of their tolerance levels. There are no side effects or noticeable discomfort associated with a HydraFacial treatment. Unlike, facial injections, laser treatments or even chemical peels, HydraFacial treatments are only minimally felt during the vacuuming and the light therapy steps. Mild redness and tightness are among the most commonly felt sensations. HydraFacial’s gentle approach makes it possible to be applied to practically the entire face area including the sensitive parts underneath the eyes where most dark circles appear.

What Concerns Will my HydraFacial alleviate?

Acne Scarring

Individuals with acne can benefit a lot from HydraFacial treatments both in tackling the symptoms as well as preventing from further acne outbreaks. Both blackheads & whiteheads are extracted out by the vacuum technology in a HydraFacial device while facilitating a deep cleanse on the skin and unblocking pores.    

Manual facials are not nearly as effective as a HydraFacial in their ability to thoroughly cleansing the skin surface. Recommended minimum course of a HydraFacial is of course to be followed for maximum and optimum results.

Hyperpigmentation

One of the most common skin conditions with a high frequency of occurrence across all ages is skin hyperpigmentation. A HydraFacial treatment will noticeably correct the adverse effects of hyperpigmentation through infusing many vital vitamins and minerals which in effect can reverse the appearance of an aging and tired-looking skin as a result of hyperpigmentation.  

Scarring

Acne can manifest itself either as superficially appearing scars or deeper and more stubborn ones. For superficial scars, a HydraFacial will have a visible impact as a HydraFacial’s exfoliation step will to a large degree alleviate a fair portion of such scars. This is because of the resurfacing that occurs during a HydraFacial exfoliation. However, it may be advised that patients consider a slightly more deeper resurfacing treatment for more advanced manifestations of acne scarring such as microdermabrasion as opposed to a HydraFacial. 

Sun damage

Contrary to popular belief, there are treatments that can offer better results with far less risk to sun damage than the conventional laser treatments. A HydraFacial is a great non-invasive treatment to have for hydrating your skin as well as rejuvenating the damaged cells as a result of sun damage. Far superior to other facials, a HydraFacial’s unique process can almost instantly transform the appearance of your skin’s damaged texture as a result of sun damage.    

Wrinkles

Another secondary advantage of having a HydraFacial treatment is that you’ll enjoy a noticeably reduced wrinkle profile on your face as a direct result of reduction in the dead skin cell count. HydraFacial reduces the appearance of creases giving you a more young-looking and toned up facial feature.  

Enlarged pores

We all agree that enlarged pores give our skin an unhealthy look. These enlarged pores as a result of accumulated lymphatic extracts, dirt and excessive bodies and skin oils. The lymphatic drainage element of a HydraFacial treatment sucks out all such substances from our skin that cause our pores to enlarge. The results are evidently significantly after a HydraFacial session leaving your skin looking relaxed, firm and well taken care of.

Rosacea

Through the infusion of soothing and calming serums and vitamins, a HydraFacial treatment will reduce redness and rosacea on the face almost immediately after a single treatment.

Sagging skin 

Another benefit of having a HydraFacial is for the increased skin tone and elasticity it gives. This is achieved by the collagen stimulating agents and ingredients present in the serums infused in your HydraFacial treatment.
