Months of colder weather can leave skin feeling dry, uneven, or dull, and increased sun exposure ahead means your skin will need to be at its healthiest. With the right treatments started now, you can refresh, repair, and protect your skin in time for the season of sunshine, vacations, and outdoor events.
At The Virginia Institute for Surgical Arts, we recommend starting early so your skin is healthy, glowing, and ready to shine all season long. Here are five of our top treatments to begin now for your best summer skin yet:
Hydrafacial: Instant Glow, Zero Downtime
If you’re looking for a quick refresh with immediate results, HydraFacial is a must. This multi-step treatment deeply cleanses, exfoliates, extracts impurities, and infuses your skin with hydrating serums.
HydraFacials improve texture, tone, and hydration—giving you that coveted “summer glow” without irritation or downtime. Regular treatments leading into summer help maintain clarity and brightness, especially if you’re prone to congestion or dullness.
Microneedling With Plated Skin Serum
One of our most underrated treatements is Microneedling. Microneedling stimulates your skin’s natural collagen production, helping to improve fine lines, acne scars, and overall texture. When paired with Plated Skin Serum—an advanced exosome-based formula—the results are even more powerful, accelerating healing and enhancing skin regeneration.
Collagen remodeling takes time. Beginning treatments in the spring allows your skin to rebuild and strengthen before summer, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more resilient skin.
Fraxel Light: Refresh And Renew
Fraxel Light laser treatments target sun damage, pigmentation, and uneven texture by resurfacing the skin and promoting new cell turnover.
Laser treatments require some downtime and sun avoidance, making early spring the ideal window. Starting now allows your skin to heal and reveal a clearer, more even complexion before summer sun exposure increases.
Botox: Smooth, Subtle, And Preventative
Botox is a trusted, non-surgical solution for softening fine lines and wrinkles, particularly in areas like the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes.
Botox takes about 7–14 days to fully settle and lasts several months. Beginning treatments now ensures a refreshed, natural look that carries you through the entire summer season—while also helping prevent deeper lines from forming.
Laser Hair Removal: Smooth Skin, Simplified Routine
Tired of shaving or waxing? Laser hair removal offers long-term reduction in unwanted hair, leaving your skin smooth and carefree.
Laser hair removal works in a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart. Starting early ensures you’ll see optimal results by summer—just in time for beach days and sleeveless styles.
