As the temperature rises and summer festivities take centre stage, your clinic can expect a shift in client inquiries and needs. Many of your clients will be looking to refresh their skin for upcoming holidays, weddings or special events.
But summer presents a whole lot of different challenges for aesthetic practitioners. A client’s suitability for clinical treatments often hinges on their recent or expected sun exposure, making it vital to tailor your approach to the season.
Here’s how to prepare your clients for glowing summer skin while keeping your clinic booked and bustling.
How summer can mess with the skin
Summer can be a double-edged sword for clinics. On the one hand, the season brings an influx of clients wanting to look their best for holidays, weddings, and get-togethers. On the other, it’s also a time when last-minute cancellations and treatment delays due to sun exposure or social commitments are more common.
A lot of treatments, like laser facials or intensive chemical peels, require patients to avoid direct sun exposure both before and after the procedure. This can cause scheduling headaches when clients spend long days outdoors or jet off to sunny destinations. Some might even push back treatments to autumn or winter, with concerns about how the summer sun could affect their skin.
To keep clients happy and your schedule full, it’s crucial to plan ahead and offer flexible, summer-friendly alternatives that fit their seasonal needs.
Go-to devices for glowy summer skin treatments
A successful summer treatment strategy revolves around versatile devices that can deliver stunning results with minimal downtime. Here are three must-haves to consider:
SYLFIRM X: RF Microneedling for radiant skin
Help your clients achieve flawless skin with SYLFIRM X. This RF microneedling device is ideal for addressing pigmentation, rosacea, and fine lines. Its dual-wave technology allows for precision treatments with minimal downtime, making it a summer favourite for clients seeking a glowing complexion before big events. SYLFIRM X is a particularly great choice for those who want visible improvements without putting their skin barrier at risk during the sunny season.
Helios 785 or Helios III: Laser treatments that tone and transform
These advanced Q-switch laser systems by Laseroptek are perfect for toning, texture improvement, and pigmentation correction. The Helios 785 and Helios III deliver tailored treatments to suit your client’s unique concerns, from dull skin to uneven skin tone. Both devices offer safe, effective solutions that can be scheduled strategically around your client’s sun exposure. With buildable, customizable results, these lasers are ideal for clients preparing for summer weddings or holidays.
CooLifting Gun: The instant glow booster
For clients seeking a quick pick-me-up or those who can’t commit to intensive treatments, the CooLifting Gun is your go-to device. This non-invasive CO2 booster infuses the skin with anti-aging ingredients, enhancing hydration and leaving behind a refreshed, youthful glow. It’s a no-downtime treatment that’s perfect for last-minute touch-ups before parties, vacations or other events.
Tips for designing summer treatments
Your approach to summer treatments should be as dynamic as the season itself. Keep these tips in mind to create client-focused plans:
- Ask about summer plans
Before scheduling a treatment, discuss your client’s upcoming travel or outdoor activities. If they’re planning beach vacations or extended time in the sun, they might need to postpone certain treatments or switch to alternatives that are less affected by UV exposure.
- Adjust treatment intensity
Lowering the intensity settings on devices like the Helios 785 or SYLFIRM X can minimise the risk of post-treatment complications during summer. While the results may take slightly longer to achieve, this strategy keeps your clients safe and satisfied. Also, remember that sun safety is important especially post-treatment.
- Offer UV-friendly alternatives
If a client isn’t a candidate for their preferred treatment due to recent sun exposure, suggest alternatives like the CooLifting Gun or OptiGlow LED. Both are gentle yet effective options that improve skin hydration, reduce redness, and restore radiance. These treatments ensure your clients don’t leave the clinic empty-handed and keep them engaged with your services until their next visit.
