Summer Beauty Essentials: Protect and Perfect Your Skin with These Treatments
Summer is the season for sun-kissed skin, beach days, weddings, patios and outdoor adventures. We always want to look and feel our best during our short Toronto summer! That said, one of the questions our clinic always gets asked during this season is: “Are all treatments summer-safe?” With increased sun exposure, choosing treatments that protect your skin while enhancing beauty is essential.
In this blog, we will tell you all about the summer-safe treatments we offer at MD Skin Lab that will keep your skin glowing and healthy! Let’s discuss the best facials, chemical peels, sunscreen, Forma, Botox, PRF for under eyes, and fillers you can enjoy this summer.
Summer-Safe Facials
Facials are a fantastic way to rejuvenate your skin, especially during summer. Our summer-safe facials are designed to hydrate, soothe, and protect your skin from the harsh effects of the sun. And, of course, who doesn’t want glowing skin during wedding season? Let’s break down some of the different facials we offer at our downtown Toronto medical clinic and their fantastic benefits.
MesoGold Facial: For those looking for a luxurious and effective summer treatment, the MesoGold Facial, also known as AquaGold, is an excellent choice. This revolutionary treatment uses 99.9% pure gold-plated surgical-grade stainless steel needles to create microchannels finer than human hair. These microchannels deliver customized solutions directly to your skin, including the options of hyaluronic acid for hydration, micro-Botox to smooth and refine the skin, mesotherapy cocktails to address pigmentation and texture issues, and PRP for rejuvenation. The result is radiant, plump, youthful-looking skin perfect for that summer pre-event glow! Your MD Skin Lab aesthetician will help tailor the perfect MesoGold Facial treatment to meet your specific skin goals, ensuring you leave with a refreshed and glowing complexion.
Hydraglow Facial: This is one of our most popular facials for achieving radiant skin, featuring benefits like hydration, exfoliation, extractions, and a lymphatic massage. Our senior medical aestheticians use luxurious medical-grade products like SkinCeuticals and Vivier to achieve fantastic results. The hydraglow facial helps the skin become more hydrated to promote a glowing complexion. It can address multiple skin concerns ranging from pore congestion to dull or tired-looking skin, uneven skin tone, acne or blemishes. It can also help reduce inflammation, increase circulation and promote radiance before your summer outings and events.
Hydraglow Deluxe Facial: Envision the above, but an upgraded version. First, we have the Hydraglow Dermaplaning Facial, which involves an in-depth skin treatment using a unique tool called a scalpel that gently removes the top layer of dead skin cells and tiny hairs. This helps exfoliate the skin, leading to brighter and smoother-looking skin. We also offer the Hydraglow Chemical Peel, which helps individuals experiencing aging or problematic skin. We will break this down in the next section. Lastly, we also offer a Hydraglow Acne Facial, which goes in-depth with extractions. Whatever your skincare concern is, there is a facial suited for your goals!
Chemical Peels and SPF
Chemical peels can be a summer-friendly treatment when paired with proper sun protection. This facial treatment can give you a refreshed, illuminated appearance by addressing skin concerns such as sun damage, hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone, texture changes, acne scars, fine lines, and wrinkles. Through a deep exfoliation process, our chemical peels focus on revealing the younger-looking skin beneath the outer layer.
One of the primary concerns with chemical peels during the summer is increased sun sensitivity. After your chemical peel, our senior aesthetician will recommend the best SPF broad-spectrum sunscreen option to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. This allows you to enjoy the benefits of a chemical peel without compromising your skin’s safety. We recommend continuous use of sunscreen to maintain and protect your results.

Forma Skin Tightening
Want more youthful and firm skin this summer? Skin tightening is the answer! Forma by InMode is a no-downtime, non-invasive treatment that uses radio-frequency technology to stimulate collagen production. Its benefits include tightening and firming the skin, improving skin elasticity, providing a smoother texture, and being safe for all skin types! Forma is particularly well-suited for summer because it is non-invasive and requires no downtime, allowing you to enjoy your summer activities without interruption.
At MD Skin Lab, we offer the exclusive Red Carpet Forma Facial, an exclusive treatment that combines thorough cleansing with the advanced benefits of Forma. This non-invasive procedure uses radiofrequency energy to sculpt and refine your jawline, creating an elegant profile perfect for any event. The Red Carpet Forma Facial stimulates collagen production, resulting in a firmer, more youthful appearance. To enhance the experience, we include a soothing lymphatic massage that promotes drainage and reduces puffiness, leaving you with a revitalized and radiant look. And the best part is that there is no downtime, and it is completely safe in the sun!
Botox for Anti-Aging
Are you looking for a non-invasive solution to prevent or treat wrinkles? Botox, a popular anti-wrinkle injection, is here to help. As we age, factors such as sun exposure, dehydration, poor nutrition, smoking, and even facial expressions can develop frown lines, stress lines, and wrinkles. Botox offers a non-surgical and minimally invasive approach to enhancing and preserving the appearance of your facial skin by softening and reducing existing wrinkles and preventing future lines. Botox is perfect for those looking for a “refresh.”
Botox is well-suited for the summer months as the treatments are quick, typically taking 15-30 minutes, making it easy to fit into your busy summer schedule. With no significant downtime, you can return to your summer activities, whether heading to the beach or attending a summer party. Unlike some skin treatments that increase sun sensitivity, Botox does not make your skin more vulnerable to UV rays, allowing you to enjoy the sunshine while keeping your skin smooth and youthful.
In addition to cosmetic enhancements, Botox offers therapeutic solutions for various conditions, including chronic migraines, hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), and jaw clenching. For those suffering from chronic migraines, Botox can provide relief, allowing you to enjoy your summer without debilitating headaches. Botox can reduce sweat production if excessive sweating is a concern, helping you stay cool and dry even in the summer heat. Botox can alleviate pain from jaw clenching and teeth grinding, contributing to a more relaxed and comfortable summer!
PRF Under Eye Rejuvenation
Are you struggling with dark circles, puffiness, or fine lines under your eyes this summer season? These issues can be stressful and disheartening, but there's good news: PRF Under Eye Rejuvenation is a solution that targets under-eye concerns while promoting rejuvenation. This advanced method uses platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), harnessing your body's own growth factors to help decrease dark circles, reduce puffiness, and smooth fine lines, resulting in a refreshed, youthful appearance that can boost your confidence.
PRF Under Eye Rejuvenation is particularly well-suited for summer because it is a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure with no downtime. This means you can enjoy your summer activities without interruption. The treatment involves drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it to concentrate the platelet-rich fibrin, and injecting it into the under-eye area to stimulate collagen production and improve skin quality. PRF is derived from your own blood, making it a natural and safe option that won’t require you to avoid the sun. Enjoy a bright, youthful look all summer with PRF Under Eye Rejuvenation at MD Skin Lab!
Dermal Fillers
Are you looking to restore volume, smooth out wrinkles, or enhance your facial features this summer? Dermal Fillers and Radiesse at MD Skin Lab offer a perfect solution to achieve a youthful, rejuvenated appearance. These injectable treatments are designed to add volume, improve facial contours, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Radiesse, in particular, helps increase collagen production and improve results over time. Our physician injectors tailor each treatment to your individual needs, helping you achieve natural-looking results that enhance your beauty.
Dermal fillers are particularly summer-safe because they are minimally invasive and require little to no downtime, allowing you to enjoy your summer activities immediately. The treatment involves injecting the fillers into specific face areas to add volume and smooth out wrinkles. Unlike some skin treatments that increase sun sensitivity, dermal fillers do not make your skin more vulnerable to UV rays, making them an excellent choice for sunny days. With effects lasting several months, dermal fillers can help you maintain a fresh, youthful look throughout the summer. Visit MD Skin Lab and let our expert team help you achieve your aesthetic goals with dermal fillers.
