Top 5 Ways to Prep Your Skin for Summer

Belladerm • April 8, 2021

The warm weather is right around the corner and with it, the sun’s harmful UV rays which can cause damage and premature aging. Don’t be afraid to show a bit of skin, but make sure to protect it. That doesn’t mean you have to stay inside or lather on the heavy foundation but it may be time to change up your summer skin care routine. If you prepare your skin now, you can show off your bare-faced, beautiful complexion all season long. Read on for our top 5 ways to prep skin for summer.

Medical Cosmetics and Sunscreen

Our skin is the most exposed organ to harmful stressors during the summer. You should proactively defend it with high-grade medical cosmetics including moisturizers, serums, and eye creams, for your daily morning and evening routines. And don’t forget the sunscreen – the single, most important product to use during the sunny summer months. Belladerm carries a variety of top product lines to keep you protected and looking your best year-round:

  • The SkinMedica ® aesthetic product line includes repairing creams and sunscreen formulated to restore the skin and promote self-healing.
  • iS Clinical® serums improve complexion and provide antioxidant protection.
  • Colorescience ®  offers non-chemical sunscreen to protect your skin from harmful UV rays throughout the day.
  • Epionce ®  toners, cleansers, and sunscreen keep your skin clean, refreshed, and protected.

Facials

Facials are an effective way to detoxify the skin, promote blood circulation, lower stress, treat acne, and help repair sun damage. They can even encourage collagen production and give you a smoother, more even skin tone. Belladerm offers a wide range of facial services to keep your skin healthy and glowing throughout the season. Here’s a few of our favorites:


  • The Bella Classic Corrective and Gentlemen’s Executive™ defend against environmental aggressors, reduce imperfections, and feel amazing at the same time.
  • Our specialized HydraFacial™ exfoliates to clear away imperfections like sun damage, blackheads, whiteheads, enlarged pores, acne, brown spots, uneven skin tone, and wrinkles. This four-in-one treatment uses a variety of revolutionary serums and is great for oily or acne-prone skin.

BOTOX®

If you’ve been squinting in the sun and are struggling with frown lines, crow’s feet, or deep forehead wrinkles, consider BOTOX®. This treatment only takes a few minutes and is performed by our highly skilled injection specialists. With BOTOX®, you won’t have to worry about those lines getting deeper.

Fillers

In the summer, your levels of hyaluronic acid (HA) may decrease the more you are in the sun. HA is a naturally occurring substance in your body that retains water, giving you plumper, softer, and smoother skin. Skip the highlighting and opt for a non-surgical face lift with our dermal fillers , which replace the HA you have lost over the years.

Microneedling

Microneedling is the perfect treatment for busy summer schedules. It’s quick and versatile, treating a variety of skin issues from hyperpigmentation and scars to sun damage and stretch marks. The more skin is exposed to the sun, the less collagen it produces. Microneedling increases the production of collagen, making your skin look and act younger. Best of all? It’s not just for the face; treatments can be applied to the neck, arms, hands, legs, abdomen, and back.

Your skin is your body’s largest organ. Make sure it’s protected this summer with proven, effective skin care products and treatments from Belladerm MedSpa. Our expert aestheticians can recommend the best brands and services that align with your desired goals and outcomes. Request an appointment or contact us to learn more.

The holidays are right around the corner, and as the weather cools, it’s the perfect time to focus on reversing the effects of summer sun. Even if you were diligent with SPF, months of UV exposure can leave behind subtle signs of damage, such as uneven tone, rough texture, and fine lines that appear prematurely. Enter MOXI™ by Sciton , the newest laser treatment at Belladerm MedSpa, designed to gently refresh and revitalize your skin, just in time for holiday season glow. Meet MOXI: The Gentle Laser for Fresh, Radiant Skin MOXI is Sciton’s latest innovation for skin rejuvenation and prevention. Often called the “prejuvenation” laser, MOXI delivers fractionated non-ablative laser energy to the skin—stimulating new collagen production, evening tone, and improving texture without the downtime of more aggressive treatments. In short, it’s your go-to treatment for maintaining youthful, healthy skin year-round. Whether you’re a first-time laser patient or a seasoned skincare pro, MOXI fits seamlessly into any skin routine. Why Now Is the Perfect Time for MOXI Fall and winter are known as laser season for a reason. With less sun exposure and cooler weather, it’s easier to protect your skin during recovery. That makes November the ideal time to repair summer’s damage before the busy holiday season begins. After a few days of mild redness and a light “sandpaper” feel, you’ll reveal brighter, smoother, more even skin—perfect timing for your next family gathering or holiday event. What MOXI Treats MOXI targets the visible effects of sun exposure and early signs of aging, including: Uneven skin tone and texture Pigmentation and sunspots Fine lines and dullness Roughness and pore size It’s also safe for all skin types and can be used on the face, neck, chest, and hands—anywhere that needs a little post-summer reset. The MOXI Experience A typical MOXI session takes about 60 minutes. You’ll start with a topical numbing cream for comfort, followed by the treatment itself. Most patients describe the sensation as warm and tingly. Afterward, your skin may appear pink for a day or two, followed by light flaking as the old, damaged skin cells make way for fresh, healthy ones. There’s minimal downtime—you can wear makeup the next day and return to your regular routine almost immediately. For best results, we often recommend a series of three to four treatments spaced about a month apart. Think of it as investing in long-term skin health and luminosity. Pairing MOXI with Other Treatments Want to take your results to the next level? MOXI pairs beautifully with other rejuvenating treatments like BBL HERO® , creating a powerful duo that targets both surface pigment and deeper skin tone. Together, they deliver a smoother, more youthful-looking complexion that truly glows. Your Holiday-Ready Skin Starts Here If you’ve been thinking about giving your skin a refresh before the holidays, MOXI is a perfect choice. It’s quick, comfortable, and delivers noticeable results with minimal disruption to your schedule.  Book your Complimentary Laser Consultation at Belladerm MedSpa and step into the season with renewed confidence and radiant, camera-ready skin.

As the seasons change, so does our skin’s needs. Fall and winter can bring challenges like dry air, cold winds, and the temptation to skip regular skincare routines. Skincare maintenance during the fall & winter is actually the perfect time to focus on restoring your skin’s natural glow, keeping it hydrated, and treating it to some extra TLC. Let’s dive into how to adjust your skincare routine for the fall and winter season—and why now is the ideal time for some rejuvenating treatments. Skincare Adjustments for Fall & Winter The transition from warm summer months to cooler fall and winter temperatures can leave your skin feeling dry, tight, and irritated. The air becomes drier, and indoor heating can strip away essential moisture. Here’s how to adjust your routine for these seasonal changes: Switch to a Hydrating Moisturizer: Look for a thicker, richer moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated and protected. Add Hydrating Serums: Serums like those with vitamin C or peptides can help your skin retain moisture and combat any winter dullness. Don’t Forget About Your Lips: With the colder air, chapped lips are a common issue. Revision’s Youthful Lip Replenisher will do wonders. Facial Treatments to Boost Winter Skin Health Cold weather doesn’t mean your skincare should take a break—now is the perfect time to treat yourself to a HydraFacial or Microneedling. These services help restore skin hydration, promote healing, and treat any skin concerns before they become major issues. HydraFacial: A HydraFacial is a great option for a deep cleanse and hydration boost. This treatment uses patented vortex technology to remove dead skin cells while infusing hydrating serums back into your skin. It’s perfect for combating dry skin and leaving you with a fresh, glowing complexion. Microneedling: Need a treatment that tackles both fine lines and overall skin texture? Microneedling helps promote collagen production and improves skin’s overall look and feel. It’s a fantastic treatment to prepare your skin for the harsh winter elements. Sun Protection: Yes, Even in Fall & Winter! It might be tempting to put your sunscreen away with your summer wardrobe, but the sun’s rays are still strong during the fall and winter months. It’s important to continue applying sunscreen daily—even when it’s cloudy or you’re spending more time indoors. UV rays can penetrate through windows and cause skin damage, so keep your skin protected with a broad-spectrum SPF . Ready to Fall in Love with Your Skin Again? Your skin deserves some extra care this fall and winter. At Belladerm MedSpa, we’re here to help you feel confident and glowing no matter the season. Book your consultation today and start your seasonal skincare routine with our professional treatments and skincare products. We’re here to guide you every step of the way!

Fall Skin Renewal with Microneedling and PRP is the perfect way to trade in that summer glow (and sun damage) for a fresh, radiant complexion. After months of UV exposure, sweat, and environmental stress, your skin deserves a reset—and Microneedling with PRP is the ultimate treatment to kickstart your fall skin renewal. This collagen-boosting treatment combines the power of microneedling with your body’s own Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) to accelerate healing, improve texture, and leave your skin visibly smoother and firmer. Whether you’re dealing with fine lines, sun damage, or uneven tone, fall is the perfect time to invest in your skin and reveal a more youthful, refreshed look. What is Microneedling with PRP? Microneedling with PRP is a next-level skin rejuvenation treatment that harnesses your body’s natural healing abilities to improve texture, tone, and overall skin health. During the treatment, a specialized device creates micro-injuries in the skin, triggering collagen and elastin production—two key proteins responsible for maintaining a firm, youthful complexion. What makes this treatment even more powerful is platelet-rich plasma (PRP) . Derived from your own blood, PRP is packed with growth factors that accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and enhance results. By infusing PRP into the skin after microneedling, we supercharge the regeneration process, leading to faster recovery, deeper hydration, and a more radiant glow compared to microneedling alone. Why Fall is the Best Time for Microneedling with PRP? Fall is the perfect time to invest in microneedling with PRP, giving your skin the reset it needs after months of summer sun. With less UV exposure, your skin can heal more effectively without the added risk of sun damage, making it an ideal season for treatments that promote regeneration. This time of year is also key for reversing the effects of summer—think sunspots, uneven texture, and dehydration caused by heat and environmental stress. Plus, starting your treatments in the fall means you’ll be glowing just in time for the holiday season, ensuring your skin looks its best for upcoming gatherings and events! What Microneedling with PRP Can Do for Your Skin Microneedling with PRP is a versatile treatment that can address a wide range of skin concerns. It’s particularly effective at reducing fine lines and wrinkles, improving skin texture, and helping to fade acne scars. If you’re dealing with hyperpigmentation or sun damage from the summer, this treatment can also work wonders in evening out your skin tone and brightening your complexion. Microneedling also helps to minimize enlarged pores and promotes overall skin rejuvenation by boosting collagen production. This treatment creates micro-injuries in the skin, and we apply PRP to accelerate healing and enhance results. While there may be some mild redness immediately afterward, downtime is minimal, and you can expect gradual improvement in your skin’s texture and appearance over several weeks. With a series of treatments, you’ll see optimal results, leaving you with smooth, youthful, and glowing skin. Ready to Refresh Your Skin? If you’re ready to refresh your skin and bring back that glow, microneedling with PRP is the perfect solution to address post-summer skin concerns. At Belladerm MedSpa, our experienced professionals are here to guide you through the process and ensure you get the best results. Whether you’re looking to reverse sun damage, smooth fine lines, or boost collagen production, this treatment is tailored to meet your skin’s needs. Don’t wait for the holidays to enjoy healthy, glowing skin — schedule your consultation today and take the first step towards a radiant complexion! Let us help you achieve smoother, more youthful skin this season.
