What Aesthetic Treatments Can Be Performed during The Summer?

A l'ICR oferim tractaments d'estètica ocular durant tot l'any. Alguns, però, s'aconsella no fer-los a l'estiu.

At ICR we ethically provide aesthetic treatments ethically throughout the year. However, we avoid performing certain procedures during the summer months. This is because one of the recommendations after several treatments is to avoid sun exposure, which is much easier to do from September or October through April or May.

This does not mean you can’t have aesthetic treatments during summer. We continue to perform many aesthetic treatments during this time of year, as well as pre-treatment assessment appointments. Here’s everything you need to know.

Aesthetic Treatments All Year Round

The following treatments can be performed at ICR throughout the year, from January to December:

  • Blepharoplasty with an electrosurgical scalpel. Eyelid surgery to remove excess skin and achieve a more youthful, refreshed appearance.
  • Surgery for periocular lesions. A simple surgical procedure to remove lesions such as skin tags, certain moles or xanthelasma.
  • Neuromodulators. Injections of a botulinum toxin that temporarily relaxes the muscles, helping to soften expression lines and wrinkles.
  • Collagen induction therapy (microneedling). Tiny micro-punctures are created in the skin to treat imperfections such as scars, wrinkles, pigmentation or dark circles, or to deliver active ingredients that improve skin quality.
  • CoolPeel. A fast-acting laser treatment that leaves the skin looking brighter and more even, with minimal downtime. It is an excellent option before special events when you want an immediate skin-refreshing effect.
  • Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments to stimulate collagen production and improve overall skin quality.

On the other hand, we generally recommend avoiding the following procedures during the summer months:

  • CO₂ laser blepharoplasty
  • ResurBlef, a non-surgical eyelid rejuvenation treatment
  • CO₂ laser skin tightening

What To Do From May Until September

If the treatment you’re interested in is one of those that requires avoiding sun exposure, summer is still an excellent time to prepare for it.

We encourage you to learn more about the aesthetic treatments we offer by exploring the information on our website about eye aesthetic treatments or by contacting us directly. We’ll be happy to explain your options with no obligation.

Before any aesthetic procedure is carried out, you’ll have an initial consultation with our periocular aesthetics medical team. During this appointment, you and your specialist will discuss your individual case in detail, identify the treatments that best match your needs and goals, determine whether you’re a suitable candidate, answer any questions you may have and establish the most appropriate treatment timeline.

During this consultation, our medical team may also recommend treatments that are perfectly suitable for the summer months. If, instead, they advise waiting until September, it will be worth postponing the procedure for a few months to achieve the best possible aesthetic results while ensuring the safety and health of your eyes.
