5 Popular Medspa Treatments to Try This Summer

This summer, you have lots of options for improving your skin with next to no downtime. Here are five medspa treatments worth your consideration.

Summer’s a time where you want to be enjoying yourself. You don’t want to have to put on a bunch of makeup only to sweat it off in the heat. Ideally, your skin will look radiant without much help.

That’s where we come in. At our Norman J. Pastorek, MD, PC, FACS offices on Manhattan’s Upper East Side in New York City and in Madison, Connecticut, we offer a broad spectrum of medspa services. Dr. Norman J. Pastorek, Janice Pastorek, BSN, RN, and our team can help you determine what might be right for you.

Usually, during summertime, we recommend high-impact, low-downtime options. This helps you transform your complexion without missing out on summer fun. A few of our most popular medspa options include: 

1. Clear + Brilliant®

This leading-edge laser treatment can help you address a wide range of cosmetic concerns, including:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Skin tone irregularities
  • Uneven skin texture
  • Hyperpigmentation (e.g., age spots, sun spots)

People commonly turn to it to move toward glassy skin. 

We love Clear + Brilliant in the summertime because it’s nonablative, which means it doesn’t wound your skin. You’ll have little to no downtime with this treatment that can help your skin glow. 

2. Facials

Facials have long been a stalwart in improving appearances, and for good reason. These give us a way to personalize care for your unique skin. 

And if you think getting a facial just means applying something topically and letting it sit, think again. We can add options like electro-stimulation or carboxytherapy to help you get even more dramatic results.

With a customized facial, you can refresh and nourish your skin, boosting luminosity while fighting laxity.

3. Lightwave LED therapy

Put NASA technology to work for you with lightwave LED therapy. This treatment helps to stimulate your skin’s production of collagen, the protein that fights wrinkles. And it’s so gentle that you can get it, then continue immediately onto a busy summer’s day afterward.  

4. Neuromodulators and fillers

A quick series of injections can help you banish signs of aging and/or improve the contours of your face.

With neuromodulators like Botox®, our team can smooth the lines that form from repeated facial expressions, like forehead or frown lines. 

With dermal fillers, we can replace volume where you’ve lost it due to aging, like in your cheeks or mouth. We can also use fillers to add volume where you’ve always wished you had it, helping you shape your face and lips.

There’s no downtime with these cosmetic injectables. Results typically show up in a week or less, helping you look and feel your best this summer.

5. Peels

Peels have emerged as a top nonsurgical cosmetic procedure because they’re a powerful way to transform the complexion. Like facials, we can customize peels to you and your cosmetic goals.

While deep peels deliver more dramatic results, even a light peel can refresh your appearance. That gives you a minimal downtime way to even your skin tone and texture this summer.

Clearly, you have no shortage of options you can try without interfering much with your summer schedule. To see what our team recommends for your unique skin, call either of our offices or book your appointment online today.
