5 Top Non-Surgical Treatments to Prep for Summer 2025
If you’re looking to feel confident and look radiant when the warm weather arrives (and stays!), it’s time to start planning your non-surgical treatments. Here are five procedures you can start booking now to make Summer 2025 one to remember.
Laser Hair Removal
Imagine stepping out in your favorite summer outfit without worrying about shaving or waxing—it’s possible with laser hair removal! Laser hair removal targets hair follicles with concentrated light energy to reduce or eliminate unwanted hair on areas like the legs, bikini line, underarms, and face.
It takes several sessions to treat each hair follicle during the right growth phase, so now is the perfect time to start your laser hair removal journey for a stubble-free summer.
Avéli Cellulite Reduction
Cellulite is normal, and about 90% of women have it. If the look of cellulite concerns you, Avéli cellulite treatment is FDA-cleared to reduce its appearance. Avéli directly addresses the structural cause of cellulite and targets the fibrous bands beneath the skin (called septa bands) that cause dimpling. The device releases the septa bands, smoothing indentations on the thighs and buttocks.
Scheduling your cellulite treatment now allows your body plenty of time for the mild swelling and bruising to resolve so your final results are ready for shorts and swimsuits this summer.
UltraClear Laser Skin Rejuvenation
UltraClear laser skin rejuvenation uses gentle yet powerful cold fiber laser technology to address skin concerns like sun damage, uneven skin tone, and fine lines. UltraClear laser treatments work by vaporizing damaged outer layers of skin cells at precise depths and with the optimal wavelength to achieve stronger improvements without causing unnecessary heat damage. Getting rid of dull skin layers and boosting collagen production and cell turnover helps clear your complexion of blemishes and signs of aging and improve your overall skin texture.
Depending on which treatment level Dr. Aboutanos recommends to suit your skin, you may have no downtime or need to give your skin several days to recover before going out. Scheduling your treatment now gives your skin enough time to heal if needed and for the regeneration process to occur and reveal a natural, healthy glow—perfect for makeup-free summer days.
Microneedling or RF Microneedling
For those looking to improve skin texture and tone, or reduce the appearance of scars, microneedling or RF microneedling can be game-changers:
Traditional microneedling uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface to stimulate collagen production and skin rejuvenation. This technique is ideal for treating fine lines, mild scarring, and uneven texture.
RF microneedling enhances traditional microneedling by adding radiofrequency energy. The RF energy is delivered deep into the skin layers to further stimulate collagen and elastin production. This method provides more dramatic improvements in skin texture and tone compared to traditional microneedling, especially for concerns like deeper scars or mild skin laxity.
Starting a series of treatments now (most patients need 3 sessions) allows enough time for collagen remodeling to produce noticeable results by summer.
Medical-Grade Skincare
Establishing or enhancing your beauty routine with medical-grade skincare products is a fantastic way to achieve a radiant complexion before summer. Professional products are formulated with higher concentrations of potent ingredients like retinol, vitamin C, and hyaluronic acid to improve skin texture, tone, and hydration in a shorter time frame than you can achieve with drugstore options.
If you need help choosing the right products for your regimen, Dr. Aboutanos can examine your skin and explain which options will be best. Remember to apply your SPF every day!
