Summer brings sunshine, outdoor activities and plenty of opportunities to show off your skin. Unfortunately, increased heat, humidity and UV exposure can also lead to dehydration, breakouts and uneven tone. Choosing the right facial treatments during this season is essential to maintaining a radiant complexion. Smooth Solutions MedSpa offers several therapies designed to soothe, protect and rejuvenate skin during the hotter months. This article explores their top summer facials, highlighting how each treatment works and why it’s suited to addressing the unique challenges of summer skin.
AquaFirme Hydrafacial Multi‑Step Hydration and Rejuvenation
Smooth Solutions’ AquaFirme hydrafacial is an innovative facial that goes beyond traditional cleansing. The treatment uses a revolutionary four‑step process and the delivery of plant‑based exosomes to nourish and uplift the skin. Exosomes are tiny vesicles that transport growth factors and healing signals between cells, promoting regeneration and hydration.
Comprehensive approach. What makes this hydrafacial unique is its combination of medical‑grade serums with advanced techniques. The protocol incorporates microdermabrasion, lymphatic drainage using ultrasound cavitation and radiofrequency skin tightening for superior results. These steps remove impurities, stimulate circulation, tighten skin and infuse nutrients all in one session.
Concerns addressed. The AquaFirme hydrafacial treats sun damage and pigmentation, dull and dehydrated skin, oily skin, acne, fine lines, wrinkles and poor texture. By combining exfoliation and hydration, it is an excellent option for anyone experiencing congestion or dryness caused by sunscreen and heat. The treatment can be performed on several areas including the face, neck, chest and hands.
Treatment experience. During the session, the practitioner first uses a spiral‑movement attachment to cleanse and exfoliate the skin, followed by ultrasound‑assisted lymphatic drainage to reduce puffiness and improve circulation. The radiofrequency handpiece then warms the skin to stimulate collagen and tighten slack areas. Finally, ultrasound technology enhances the absorption of topical serums and exosomes, leaving the skin supple and luminous. There is no discomfort, and clients can return to normal activities immediately. Because this treatment does not rely on heat or lasers, it is safe to perform even when the sun is strong.
Why it’s ideal for summer. The AquaFirme hydrafacial hydrates without clogging pores, making it perfect for those balancing oil and dryness in warm weather. It also addresses sun‑induced pigment and fine lines. The combination of microdermabrasion and lymphatic drainage leaves skin feeling light and refreshed rather than heavy or greasy. Regular sessions help maintain a healthy glow throughout the season.
Custom Chemical Peels Brighten and Balance
While chemical peels are often associated with cooler months, certain formulations are mild enough for summer use. Smooth Solutions’ custom peels utilize medical‑grade products to deliver a deep cleanse and reset, reviving the skin and enhancing the results of other treatments like dermaplaning or BBL photofacials. The medspa tailors each peel to the client’s needs and selects ingredients that safely exfoliate without causing photosensitivity.
What they treat. Summer peels target dullness, dehydration, acne breakouts, uneven tone and rosacea. By dissolving dead cells and clearing clogged pores, peels allow sunscreen and moisturizers to work more effectively. This is especially helpful for people prone to congestion from heat and sweat.
Treatment details. A session takes 30–60 minutes and involves applying a customized acidic solution to the skin. Clients may feel a tingling or warming sensation as the peel works. Once removed, the practitioner applies soothing products and sun protection. Mild redness or flaking may occur for a day or two. Smooth Solutions recommends following post‑treatment guidelines and reapplying sunscreen diligently. Because the peel solutions are chosen to be gentle, they provide a subtle glow without causing the skin to peel dramatically.
Why they’re appropriate in summer. Light to medium peels can safely be performed during summer when proper sun protection is observed. They help combat rough texture and pigmentation resulting from increased sun exposure. They also work synergistically with other summer treatments exfoliating away dead cells so that hydrating facials and serums can penetrate deeper. Smooth Solutions’ team ensures each client receives the right strength of peel and educates them on how to protect their fresh skin afterwards.
Microneedling Collagen Boost for Sun‑Kissed Skin
Microneedling is another powerful treatment for summer because it stimulates collagen without removing the top layer of skin. The process involves creating controlled micro‑injuries using tiny needles, which trigger the body’s natural wound‑healing phases of inflammation, proliferation and remodeling. This leads to increased collagen production and a more supple complexion.
What it addresses. Microneedling helps reduce fine lines, deep wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks and uneven texture. It is especially beneficial for skin that has become rough from sun exposure or that has visible scars. Smooth Solutions uses the FDA‑approved SkinPen device, ensuring precision and safety.
How it works. After applying a numbing cream, the practitioner moves the microneedling device over the skin to create micro‑channels. These tiny punctures encourage the skin to produce collagen and elastin. The procedure takes 30–60 minutes and is well tolerated. Most clients experience mild redness resembling a sunburn for one to four days. The medspa may apply healing serums or recommend LED therapy afterwards to enhance healing.
Why it’s suited to summer. Because microneedling does not remove the epidermis, it has minimal downtime and can be performed year‑round with proper aftercare. The treatment improves skin texture, which is often compromised by chlorine, saltwater and sun. It also allows skincare products to penetrate more effectivelycrucial when hydrating after hours in the sun. Clients must wear sunscreen religiously after microneedling, but the procedure itself is safe for most skin types and tones.
Additional Summer‑Friendly Treatments
While the three treatments above are highlighted by Smooth Solutions as summer favorites, the medspa offers other services that complement a warm‑weather skincare regimen:
- Microdermabrasion provides gentle exfoliation to remove dead cells without downtime, making it a good add‑on before events. The procedure is safe for sensitive skin and leaves the surface smooth and receptive to sunscreen and moisturizers.
- LED Phototherapy can soothe inflammation from sun or heat and accelerate healing when paired with microneedling or peels. Red and near‑infrared light help regenerate cells and promote collagen production, while blue light combats acne bacteria.
- BBL® HERO™ photofacials use high energy rapid output light to target pigmentation, redness and active acne without significant downtime. Although sun avoidance is necessary during healing, BBL can correct sun damage quickly when performed by experienced clinicians.
These therapies can be combined with the primary summer treatments to customize a plan that meets individual needs. The key is to work with professionals who understand how to sequence treatments and provide guidance on sun protection.
Conclusion
Summer should be a season of confidence and enjoyment, not frustration over breakouts or sun‑damaged skin.

The AquaFirme hydrafacial combines microdermabrasion, lymphatic drainage and radiofrequency skin tightening to refresh the complexion.
