Get Ready for Summer with Radiance Advanced Skincare!


Summer months in New England are a time to finally enjoy the beautiful and long awaited sunshine, live outdoors as much as possible and to connect with family and friends. This rejuvenating time requires a reminder to adapt our skincare routine and in office visits to maximize the opportunity to NOT rewind the hard work and dedication to your skin from previous months, but rather to maintain your skin and prepare it for more advanced treatments in the Fall. Summer also brings extra time off from work for some, which may allow the necessary time to finally do those long awaited treatments. 


RENEW your skin daily at home, REFRESH with selected treatments and most importantly RETAIN the healthy foundation you’ve accomplished! Thus, you can move forward with more advanced anti-aging treatments when Fall arrives instead of experiencing the usual BUT avoidable backtracking. Remember a 4 week interval of treatments will do the trick and as a result you may not even feel the need for makeup and can fully embrace a natural summer glow!


Our Favorite In Office Summer Treatments (i
n no particular order!):


Facials
- Excellent option for ALL

  • Repair Skin: Extra sun exposure leads to dehydrated skin, while the (very necessary) use of sunscreen can lead to congested pores, which both can result in breakouts. Regular facials during the summer will help to minimize and control breakouts, while rehydrating the skin with no downtime. 

Hydro-facial - Appropriate for those with acne, pigmentation, aging, sweat/oil build up and those who love the sun

  • Nourish & Protect Skin: Protect skin with serums and infusions that contain antioxidants, which help to reduce free radical sun and environmental damage. Hydro-facials gently exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells, excess dirt, oil and debris from the skin's surface with no downtime. 

The Oxygen RX - Great as an option for Rosacea, acne, and oil build up

  • Soothe Skin: Both acne & rosacea have tendencies to flare up in the heat, which makes for very uncomfortable skin conditions. Oxygen Rx treatments safely and effectively control the bacterial components associated with these skin conditions, leaving skin smoother with enhanced clarity and tone and in a much more comfortable state with no downtime. 

Microdermabrasion -Inexpensive option for exfoliation for most (excluding those with rosacea) 

  • Exfoliate & Renew: Summer is the perfect time of year to get the maximum benefits from microdermabrasion as the skin retains more moisture than in the colder months. This exfoliating painless treatment sloughs off the top layer of dead skin, leaving you with a smoother texture and healthy glow with no downtime. 

Dermaplaning - Option for most 

  • Revitalize: Exfoliate dead skin, rid of buildup, while removing vellus hairs (peach fuzz) that can often be noticeable in the sunlight, to achieve smooth skin and radiant skin with no downtime. 

Sculptra - Option for most healthy adults 

  • Replenish: Reverse signs of aging during summer downtime such as crepiness and volume depleted skin with Sculptra injectable treatments containing poly-L-lactic acid as a main ingredient. By gradually replenishing your own body's collagen you will jumpstart results for the fall and holiday season with minimal downtime such as bruising/swelling. After completing your treatments, results can last for 2-3 years!

Injections - Option for most adults

  • Correct & Prevent: Reduce lines with a quick appointment with neurotoxins such as Botox, Dysport or Xeomin to plump up those areas of deficit and prevent summer squint lines such as crows feet and bunny lines. Staying on schedule with your neurotoxin injections will maintain your investment while preventing newer wrinkles from forming with no downtime. 

Sylfirm X - Option for ALL

  • Enhance & Restore: This non-surgical skin tightening treatment is the only summer safe Radio Frequency Microneedling device that improves the overall firmness and elasticity of your skin with immediate and long lasting results. Sylfirm X can be done virtually on any part of the body, not just the face, so think buttocks, abdomen, arms, knees, thighs, breasts, etc. In addition to skin tightening effects, this multi-modality device can also treat melasma, which has a tendency to resurface from sun and heat exposure. Feel confident in your skin this summer with minimal downtime!

PRXT - Option for most healthy adults

  • Rejuvenate:  Otherwise known as Biorevitalization, PRXT 33 promotes natural skin regeneration with no photosensitivity, peeling or flaking. This skin treatment can provide dramatic improvements in texture and skin laxity, revealing healthier and younger looking skin with no downtime. 

Lash Lift & Tint - Option for ALL

  • Enhance: Semi-permanent treatment that provides the appearance of lifted and darker lashes for a fuss free, no mascara summer.

Brow Lamination & Brow Tint - Option for ALL

  • Amplify: innovative technique involving the process of restructuring the brow hairs and shape, results in a feathery appearance by filling in thin and sparse areas, noninvasive, temporary, but impactful way to achieve brow fullness for worry free summer filled with water activities. 



At Home Skincare Regimen Reminders: Radical changes are NOT necessary and completely avoidable, so pay close attention and adjust your products as needed according to how your skin changes in Summer. We HIGHLY suggest adding SPF, Vitamin C serum and weekly Exfoliator during Summer months.  We have something for everyone and are always happy to help!

Consistency along with reevaluating your skin's needs is key in maintaining skin health throughout the entire year.  Although it’s very easy to get off track during the summer months, it will only make it harder to regain the healthy state your skin was previously in when Fall arrives.   Maintaining your skin routine with minor adjustments during the summer months will be highly beneficial and allow you to move on to more advanced skin treatments in Fall.  Remember to RENEW your skin daily at home, REFRESH with in office treatments and basque in the glow of RETAINING your current, beautiful skin.  Your skin will thank you, we promise!
