Increased UV exposure may contribute to pigmentation, dryness and changes in skin texture over time. Heat and air conditioning can also affect the skin's hydration. Treatments that make the skin more sensitive to the sun may carry a higher risk of pigmentation changes in summer, so timing matters.
Laser Hair Removal in Summer
Laser hair removal is commonly considered in the warmer months. Regenesis uses the Clarity II laser, which has two wavelengths that allow treatment to be tailored to different skin and hair types.
What it may do: laser hair removal may reduce hair growth over a course of sessions. It is a hair reduction treatment, and some regrowth over time is common.
Sessions: a course of at least six sessions is generally required, with ongoing maintenance for many people.
Sun considerations: recently tanned skin may not be suitable for treatment on the day. Avoiding sun exposure on treated areas before and after sessions is usually advised.
Possible side effects: temporary redness, swelling around follicles and sensitivity. Less commonly, blistering or pigmentation changes may occur.
LED Light Therapy for Summer Skin
Healite II LED uses specific wavelengths of light and involves no heat-based damage to the skin. It may support the skin's natural repair processes and may be used on its own or alongside other treatments. Many people return to usual activities straight after a session. Some people may notice temporary redness or warmth.
Hydrating Facials for Heat and Dry Winds
An Aquapeel treatment cleanses, exfoliates and hydrates the skin using a vortex-style delivery system. It may support skin hydration and the appearance of congested pores. Downtime is usually limited, although some people may have mild redness for a short time afterwards.
Treatments Often Planned for Cooler Months
Some treatments may increase sun sensitivity or require a stricter recovery period. These are often planned for autumn and winter, including more intensive laser resurfacing and some depigmentation treatments. Your practitioner can help you map out a plan that spans the year.
Sun Protection Through Summer
Daily broad-spectrum sunscreen, reapplied as directed, is one of the most important steps for skin health in Australia. Hats, shade and protective clothing also help. Our team can discuss skincare and sun protection options suited to your skin at your consultation.
