SUMMER-SAFE MED SPA TREATMENTS

by DR. RYAN DIEDERICH

The summer months can be brutal on your skin. Excess heat, sun exposure, sweat, and sunblock that clogs pores lead to skin dehydration, premature aging, and breakouts. So, what can be done? Some myths and misinformation work against you, such as "There's nothing I can do about it anyway". You CAN do something about it! The Spa at MidAmerica Plastic Surgery, located in Glen Carbon, IL offers a variety of summer-safe skin treatments to help you achieve the ‘summer glow’ we all crave. Not only will these treatments help you achieve beautiful skin, but they will also enhance your overall confidence in the upcoming summer months.

HYDRAFACIAL HydraFacial is the number one requested facial at The Spa at MidAmerica. This treatment can improve skin's rough texture, dryness, and overall appearance by cleansing, extracting, and hydrating. Skin will be rejuvenated and invigorated after your treatment because it will be getting a nice dose of peptides and antioxidants.

A typical HydraFacial treatment includes cleansing and exfoliation to remove dead skin cells, a light superficial peel to extract impurities, a deep clean of congested pores using the Vortex Extraction tool, and a combination of infusions, serums, and boosters, customized to your skin type.

CHEMICAL PEEL medical spa offers a variety of chemical peels that range in intensity. Some peels are recommended only in the winter months due to their strength; making skin more sensitive to UV rays, but there are other options for those looking to refresh their skin during the summer months.

SkinCeuticals Gel Peel SM (Salicylic/Mandelic) is a light chemical peel that exfoliates the top layer of your skin and removes dirt, oil, and dead skin cells in the process. It helps improve skin texture and decongest clogged pores. There is little to no downtime with this peel, making it a great summertime option for those with acne-prone and aging skin types.

SkinCeuticals Micropeel Plus 20 & 30 helps improve uneven skin texture, blotchiness, and surface imperfections. Patients may experience slight peeling after the treatment and should avoid direct sunlight for a few days afterward. Remember, always wear SPF, especially following a chemical peel, when going out in the sun.

Epionce Lite Refresh Peel is yet another great option for those looking to refresh their skin with a chemical peel. Referred to as the “lunchtime peel,” it requires no downtime and is safe for all skin types for a quick and efficient skin refresher.

Laser Peel

Popular with both our patients and staff, the Hollywood Laser Peel has gained major attention in the aesthetics world over the last few years. The Hollywood Laser Peel is a gentler version of other laser treatments, as it is safe for all skin types and can be performed any time of year. It helps rejuvenate your appearance by diminishing signs of aging or damaged skin and corrects uneven skin pigmentation and improves the appearance of pores, acne, and scars. It is mildly exfoliating, so you are left with a softer, smoother skin texture, resulting in a glowing and more radiant appearance.

It is 100% possible to receive great skin treatments in the summertime. It is always important to consult with your medical spa provider before having any medical spa treatment done. If you stick with summer-safe skincare options and remember to wear a daily SPF, you can still look and feel great when out and about in Lake of Egypt this summer. 
