Introduction to Summer-Safe Treatments

At Subbio Plastic Surgery and Medical Spa, we’re making it easy to care for your skin, without pressing pause for summer. While many treatments are typically associated with fall or winter, several of our options are perfectly safe to use during warmer months. With customized care and sun-smart protocols, you can enjoy radiant results all season long. From facials to microneedling and even lasers, we tailor every experience to fit your summer lifestyle. Let’s explore which summer-safe treatments may be right for you.

Chemical Peels

Gentle, exfoliating chemical peels can be safely performed in the summer with proper sunscreen and post-care. These peels help unclog pores, brighten dull skin, and improve tone and texture. We offer a range of peels designed to deliver results with minimal flaking or irritation. Best of all, they can be scheduled in a series for ongoing glow. Avoid direct sunlight for a few days after treatment to protect your results.

BioRePeel: BioRePeel is a no-downtime, bi-phase peel that rejuvenates the skin while being gentle enough for summer use. It exfoliates and hydrates simultaneously, making it ideal for sun-exposed skin. This peel also helps reduce breakouts and fine lines without major peeling. With minimal risk of photosensitivity, it’s ideal for maintaining a radiant glow year-round. You’ll notice smoother, brighter skin after just one session.
ZO Skin Health Stimulator Peel: Often referred to as the “lunchtime peel,” this ZO option provides an instant glow with minimal downtime. It gently exfoliates using alpha hydroxy acids while hydrating and calming the skin. Safe for all skin types, it’s a perfect monthly refresh during the summer months. No peeling, no recovery—just smoother, radiant skin. Great before events or vacations.
ZO Skin Health 3-Step Peel: This peel penetrates deeper for longer-lasting results, while still being summer-compatible with careful post-care. It combines exfoliation, retinol, and calming agents to target texture, tone, and discoloration. Expect light peeling and some downtime, but dramatic skin renewal. Our providers will guide you on how to protect your skin post-treatment. It’s a great option if you’re targeting more advanced skin concerns.

Lasers

Though often thought of as fall treatments, many laser procedures are summer-safe with proper precautions. By using lower settings, adjusting timing, and ensuring strict sun avoidance both before and after treatment, we can safely treat skin even in warmer months. We’ll help you protect your results with medical-grade sunscreen and skincare. Discuss with our team how we can adjust your laser plan for the upcoming season.

Forever Clear: Forever Clear BBL targets acne-causing bacteria using blue light, with minimal risk of sun sensitivity. It’s a great summer option for managing breakouts. Treatments are gentle and require little to no downtime. Clearer, calmer skin is often visible within a few sessions. Consistency is key—great for teens and adults alike.
Forever Young BBL: This light-based treatment improves pigmentation, sun damage, and skin texture. It’s safe during summer with proper sun protection and avoidance before and after sessions. Over time, skin looks clearer, brighter, and more even. No peeling or downtime means you can get back to your day quickly. Helps maintain a youthful skin tone year-round.
HALO Laser: The HALO is a hybrid laser that combines deep resurfacing with surface-level rejuvenation. It can be done in summer with strict pre- and post-care to avoid complications. HALO® targets sun damage, enlarged pores, and fine lines. Expect a few days of redness and light peeling. Great for promoting long-term skin health and stimulating collagen production.
Laser Hair Removal: Laser hair removal works by targeting the pigment in the follicle, making it most effective when the skin is protected from sun exposure. With proper SPF and scheduling, it can be done safely in summer. Areas like the underarms or bikini line are especially popular this season.
Moxi Laser: Moxi offers gentle resurfacing that’s safe for all skin tones and perfect for summer maintenance. It improves texture, pigment, and early signs of aging without significant peeling or downtime. It’s a great entry-level laser for year-round skincare.

SkinPen

SkinPen is a microneedling device that stimulates collagen and improves skin texture. It’s a popular summer-safe treatment due to its minimal downtime and natural results. It targets fine lines, enlarged pores, and acne scars without triggering photosensitivity, making it an ideal choice for warm-weather months.

Facials

Customized facials are one of the easiest ways to keep your skin fresh during the summer. We offer a range of treatments tailored to hydration, decongestion, and brightening. Each facial is designed with your skin type and seasonal needs in mind. No downtime and immediate results make this a great self-care staple. Safe for all skin types and tones.
