Is your summer glow a little duller than you expected? Some treatments are better suited for summer months than others. For example, many laser skin treatments are better reserved for cooler months when it’s easier to avoid UV damage. If you’re ready to get your glow on, take a look at our top recommended aesthetic services that are summer-friendly. VIDA is more than a medical day spa, offering all of the best options for non-invasive and minimally invasive aesthetic services so you can get the summer skin you deserve.
DiamondGlow
DiamondGlow is a client favorite year-round, and with no downtime and immediate results, it’s perfect for men and women of any skin tone and type. DiamondGlow has made headlines thanks to countless celebrity clients, but it easily fits into anyone’s budget. The 3-in-1 technology uses genuine crushed diamond tips to simultaneously exfoliate the skin, extract debris from pores, and bathe the skin in medical-grade SkinMedica products that are custom-selected for every client. There are a variety of different tips that come with DiamondGlow, which lets your provider select the best option for your skin on that particular day.
DiamondGlow goes well beyond what any other in-office facial can offer. It leaves skin incredibly soft, supple, and with a stunning radiance. It’s a great idea to combine DiamondGlow with complementary treatments, like microneedling or dermaplaning, to take your results to the next level. Many clients get this treatment the morning of a special event, while others opt for monthly treatments in order to sustain results.
Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning uses a special scalpel to remove peach fuzz and debris from the surface of the skin. It’s non-invasive, and the dermaplaning tools and techniques used in-office are far more advanced than any DIY, at-home dermaplaning kit you might find. Our staff is comprised of MDs and estheticians who are all CAE, which means you’re always in the best hands at VIDA—and can expect the best results.
As you can imagine, dermaplaning is a great way to start a DiamondGlow experience because it removes the barrier (peach fuzz) that can reduce the results of the DiamondGlow treatment. Dermaplaning does the same for countless of other procedures, like chemical peels and facials, allowing topicals to better penetrate the skin and do their job. Like DiamondGlow, many people schedule monthly dermaplaning sessions to ensure their skin is as smooth as possible.
Chemical peels
Chemical peels come in light/superficial and mediums depths (deep depths are also available, but generally only from surgeons as anesthesia is often required due to pain and a long recovery period). Today’s light and medium peels are strong enough to tackle most major skin care concerns such as acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, lines and wrinkles, and laxity. Depending on the type of peel (and the location), you might be recommended to undergo peels monthly if they are especially light or every 6 – 12 months for more aggressive peels.
Peels work by literally peeling away the top layer (or layers) of skin. This process reveals clearer, healthier, younger-looking skin below the surface but also acts as collagen induction therapy. We carry the leading peels, made up of the best ingredients so that you can customize your peel regimen to suit your skin and goals.
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion comes in many forms (in fact, the exfoliation portion of DiamondGlow is a kind of microdermabrasion). The exact procedure for you will depend on your skin and goals. However, routine microdermabrasion not only exfoliates and cleanses the skin, but also encourages a quicker cell turnover so that your skin looks better, younger, and healthier.
Combining microdermabrasion with an individualized summer facial is a great pairing. First comes exfoliation, and then the soothing facial helps to get your skin on the fast track to healing. In-office facials are far more effective than any at-home treatment, and they’re a great way to indulge this summer when skin is especially prone to sun damage.
At VIDA, we are proud to be led by Medical Director Dr. Kim Thompson who trains and supervises all staff.
