Cosmetic Treatments and Summer: 4 Tips for the Season

It is Summertime once again, meaning the year is wrapping up and we all have a lot on our plates, so it is important to relax and de-stress where we can. That’s why this year, we have put together 4 of our most useful and informative tips for cosmetic treatments and the Summer – to give you the information you need to look and feel your best in an informed way. Keep reading for tips from Cityskin experts, like choosing a reputable cosmetic clinic in Melbourne.

1: Ensure That You’re Well Informed

If you are thinking about a cosmetic treatment this summer season, we would be thrilled to welcome you at one of our Cityskin locations. Our number one tip, however, is to ensure that you schedule a consultation with a Cityskin expert to make sure that you are properly informed before your treatment.

During a consultation, you can discuss your preferred treatment in detail with a medical professional, who can inform you about potential side effects, what to expect from the treatment, and determine if you are a suitable candidate for your intended treatment. This is also a time to discuss any concerns, or events you may have coming up that you want to be looking and feeling your best for. With prior discussion, we can help you to avoid disappointment, and assist you in scheduling your treatment in advance of your event to have you feeling confident and looking rejuvenated and fresh at your celebration.

A 30 minute consultation is free for new patients at Cityskin, and it comes at no obligation to you. We always highly recommend these consultations because we believe that our patients should be well informed when making any decision about cosmetic treatments. Our top priority is your safety and comfort, and these consultations are just another way that we ensure this.

2: Remember to Take a Holistic Approach to Your Skincare

Our second tip is to ensure that you embrace a holistic view of skincare that includes, but is not limited to, your cosmetic treatments. We recommend taking care of your skin properly in between appointments by making sure that you get plenty of quality sleep and rest, staying hydrated, and eating an antioxidant-rich diet. In addition, as Aussies we know how important it is to protect our skin from the sun – ensure that you wear a high-SPF, broad spectrum sunscreen every day, wear a wide-brimmed hat, and avoid sun exposure where possible.

3: Ensure That You Always Follow the Advice of Your Cityskin Practitioner

It’s Summer – we know that the year is wrapping up and there are lots of parties and celebrations, along with lots of things to tick off your to-do list and ensure that you have done. Along with this comes the outdoor activities that Summer brings. With all the stress and busyness of this time of year, it can be easy to let some things fall by the wayside, but this cannot apply to following the post-treatment advice of your Cityskin practitioner.

If you have received a cosmetic treatment, it is critical that you continue to follow the aftercare advice provided to you for your specific treatment. For example, following a wrinkle treatment, some of the critical aftercare advice includes:

• Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours after your treatment and do not expose treated areas to intense heat
• Do not massage or apply pressure to the treated area for 24 hours
• Do not wear make-up on the day of your treatment
• Do not drink alcohol for 24 hours after your treatment
• Schedule and attend a review appointment two weeks after you treatment, if advised by your practitioner

Remember: it is critical that you follow the advice and recommendations of your Cityskin practitioner, regardless of the time of year!

4: Be Careful When it Comes to Gifting Cosmetic Treatments!

When it comes to gifting a cosmetic treatment, we recommend that you proceed with caution – this is for a number of reasons. Firstly, a cosmetic treatment should not be a surprise gift; if you are going to gift a treatment it should be in consultation with the gift recipient. We find that it is always best to discuss your gift intentions with the person you are gifting a cosmetic treatment to, allowing you both to be on the same page, and ensuring that there are no misunderstandings.

Further, if you want to give the gift of a treatment this year, make sure that you do your research into cosmetic clinics in Melbourne. Don’t be tricked by treatment deals that seem too good to be true – rather, make sure that you select a clinic with an experienced team of practitioners and a commitment to the safety, health, and comfort of its patients.

A top tip is that reputable clinics will offer pre-treatment consultations with a practitioner so that patients are well-informed and comfortable prior to any treatment.
