Why Facials Are Essential During Summertime — And Not Just for Your Face
As the summer sun heats up, so does the activity of your skin. Longer days outdoors, more UV exposure, increased sweating, and frequent use of sunscreen can all take a toll on your complexion. For many people, summer brings not just glowing tans but also clogged pores, breakouts, rough texture, and uneven skin tone—especially in areas like the face, back, and buttocks.
At Aesthetic Med Studio, we believe skincare should be seasonal, smart, and tailored to your body’s needs. While facials are often associated solely with the face, summertime calls for full-body skincare—especially when your skin is more exposed. Let’s explore why facials are crucial during the summer months and how our advanced treatments—including HydraFacial, OxyGeneo, BelaMD, and Microdermabrasion—can help your skin stay clear, healthy, and confident from head to toe.
The Summer Skin Struggle Is Real
Summertime brings a unique set of challenges to your skin:
- Increased sun exposure can lead to sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and dehydration.
- Sweating and sunscreen buildup can clog pores and trigger breakouts.
- Humidity and heat may increase oil production, leading to congestion and dullness.
- Exposure to environmental pollutants like chlorine, salt water, and smog can compromise your skin barrier.
Facials during this season aren’t just a luxury—they're a necessity for maintaining balance, preventing damage, and keeping your glow refined and radiant.
Why Regular Facials Are Crucial in Summer
Facials provide more than a feel-good spa experience—they deliver:
- Deep cleansing to remove impurities, SPF buildup, and excess oil.
- Exfoliation to slough off dead skin cells, reduce clogged pores, and enhance tone.
- Hydration to combat dryness from sun, chlorine, or air conditioning.
- Targeted treatments for issues like sun damage, breakouts, and dullness.
- Boosted product absorption, allowing your at-home skincare to work more effectively.
Now, let’s break down our most popular summer facial treatments at Aesthetic Med Studio—and why they’re perfect not just for the face, but also for the back, chest, and buttocks, where summer skincare may get overlooked.
1. HydraFacial: The Gold Standard for Summer Skincare
What It Is:
HydraFacial is a medical-grade, multi-step treatment that uses patented vortex-fusion technology to deeply cleanse, exfoliate, extract, and hydrate the skin. It’s known for being non-invasive and immediately effective—with no downtime.
Why It’s Perfect for Summer:
HydraFacial targets summer-specific concerns like:
- Clogged pores from sweat and sunscreen
- Dehydration from sun exposure
- Dullness from dead skin buildup
- Uneven tone and texture
It’s gentle enough for all skin types and provides instant glow—ideal before a vacation, event, or wedding.
Body Areas to Treat:
Back (“Backcial”): Summer means tank tops and swimsuits, but also backne (back acne). A HydraFacial on the back can detox pores, smooth skin, and reduce breakouts.
Buttocks: Often hidden but just as prone to congestion and texture issues. A booty HydraFacial helps clear clogged follicles and firm the skin for smoother summer curves.
Signature Benefits:
- No irritation, peeling, or redness
- Instant hydration and glow
- Great for sun-exposed skin
- Customizable boosters for pigmentation, acne, or aging
2. OxyGeneo: The Oxygen-Infused Glow Booster
What It Is:
OxyGeneo is a 3-in-1 facial that exfoliates, oxygenates, and infuses the skin with targeted serums. It works by creating a CO2-rich environment on the skin’s surface, triggering your body’s natural oxygenation process and enhancing circulation.
Why It’s Perfect for Summer:
This facial breathes new life into sun-stressed skin because it can:
- Revive dull or fatigued skin
- Improve oxygenation for a healthier glow
- Minimize fine lines and dark spots from sun exposure
- Reduce inflammation from heat or overexposure
Body Areas to Treat:
Chest: The décolletage area is especially vulnerable to sun damage. OxyGeneo can brighten and even out tone.
Back: Great for smoothing rough texture and improving post-inflammatory pigmentation from breakouts.
Buttocks: Boost circulation and skin clarity while minimizing folliculitis or bumpiness.
Signature Benefits:
- Immediate results with no downtime
- Great for sensitive or inflamed skin
- Improves brightness and skin tone
- Targets both hydration and cellular renewal
3. BelaMD: Advanced Technology Meets Tailored Treatment
What It Is:
BelaMD is an advanced facial platform that combines electrical stimulation, serum infusion, microdermabrasion, and bio-infusion technology to target deep dermal concerns. It’s one of the most comprehensive and customizable facials available.
Why It’s Perfect for Summer:
BelaMD goes beyond surface glow to work on cellular repair, making it ideal for:
- Preventing and treating photoaging
- Managing acne flare-ups
- Supporting hydration on a molecular level
- Calming reactive skin from heat or allergens
Body Areas to Treat:
Back: For clients struggling with cystic or inflamed acne, the high-tech precision of BelaMD delivers targeted relief.
Buttocks: Combat "buttne" and firm skin texture with a device-driven approach that treats beneath the surface.
Neck & Chest: These often-neglected areas get the same advanced rejuvenation benefits.
Signature Benefits:
- Multimodal approach: exfoliation + serum + stimulation
- Ideal for acne-prone or sun-damaged skin
- Provides deep dermal hydration and repair
- Fully customizable for body areas
4. Microdermabrasion: The Classic Summer Resurfacer
What It Is:
Microdermabrasion uses a diamond-tip wand to gently remove the outer layer of dead skin cells, improving texture, tone, and circulation. It’s one of the most time-tested treatments for clear, glowing skin.
Why It’s Perfect for Summer:
With more exposure to SPF, sweat, and pollution, microdermabrasion helps:
- Unclog congested pores
- Brighten sun-dulled skin
- Smooth rough patches from shaving or dryness
- Create a smoother base for makeup or sunless tanner
Body Areas to Treat:
Back: Perfect for treating clogged pores, blackheads, and acne scars.
Buttocks: Exfoliate and soften the skin while reducing uneven tone or KP-like bumps.
Arms & Shoulders: Address summer keratosis pilaris or rough, dry skin with gentle resurfacing.
Signature Benefits:
Great as a monthly maintenance facial
- Affordable and efficient
- No downtime—results visible immediately
- Boosts efficacy of other body treatments
Why You Shouldn't Ignore the Back and Buttocks
These areas are often under-treated but are just as susceptible to:
- Clogged pores from sweat and tight clothing
- Folliculitis or acne mechanica (common in athletes)
- Hyperpigmentation from irritation or ingrown hairs
- Skin laxity or dullness with age or sun exposure
Summer is when these parts of your body are on full display—swimsuits, shorts, open backs—making them ideal for facial-quality skincare. Adding professional treatments to these zones improves skin confidence, reduces breakout risk, and enhances the smooth, glowing appearance of your whole body.
How Often Should You Get a Facial in Summer?
For most people, we recommend a professional facial every 4-6 weeks during summer, especially if:
- You wear sunscreen daily (which clogs pores over time)
- You’re sweating or outdoors frequently
- You’ve noticed more breakouts or texture
- You want to maintain a youthful glow throughout the season
If you’re treating body areas, spacing may depend on skin condition and goals—but even a monthly back or booty facial can transform the way your skin looks and feels.
