Summer is the season in which your skin is both under the greatest strain and most on show. UV radiation, sea salt, air-conditioned environments and hot weather all make hydration and elasticity harder to maintain. That is why a mesotherapy programme planned before summer is one of the options for getting your skin ready for the sunny season.
"Preparing your skin for summer can help reduce complaints that may arise during the summer months. Mesotherapy comes in at exactly this point."
Why Before Summer?
After a mesotherapy application, it takes several weeks for the skin to fully recover and absorb the vitamins. Short-lived redness can also occur at the treatment area, which is why the procedure is not recommended during periods of intense sun exposure. For this reason the ideal timing is to complete the programme 6–8 weeks before summer begins.
How Is a Pre-Summer Mesotherapy Programme Planned?
A typical pre-summer preparation programme looks something like this:
Which Ingredients Are Used in Pre-Summer Mesotherapy?
A mesotherapy cocktail designed for the summer season typically contains the following active ingredients:
- Hyaluronic acid: creates a deep hydration reservoir and supports the skin under sun stress
- Vitamin C: provides antioxidant protection, supports the appearance of pigmentation and adds radiance
- Vitamin B complex: supports cell renewal
- Zinc and silicon: support elastin and collagen production
- Glutathione: a potent antioxidant with a brightening effect
- Amino acids: support tissue repair and moisture balance
How Does the Skin Look After the Programme Is Completed?
In a properly delivered pre-summer mesotherapy programme the following changes can typically be observed in the skin (results vary from person to person):
- Noticeable increase in radiance and vitality
- Improved moisture balance (particularly in dry skin)
- Softening of fine lines
- More even skin tone
- Tissue that is more resilient to sun and environmental stress
How to Protect Your Skin Throughout the Summer
The aftercare you follow once the mesotherapy programme is finished has a direct influence on how well the results are maintained. My recommendations for the summer months:
- SPF 50+ sunscreen: apply every day, including on cloudy days
- Plenty of water: at least 2 litres a day to hydrate the skin from within
- Antioxidant skincare: a vitamin C serum can be added to your morning routine
- Limit direct sun exposure: particularly between 10:00 and 16:00
Who Should Not Have Mesotherapy?
- Pregnant and breastfeeding women
- People with an active skin infection
- Patients on blood thinners (only after physician approval)
- Those with a known allergy to the ingredients
