White Rock’s iconic beaches and vibrant summer scene are just around the corner. As the days get longer and the sun shines brighter, now is the perfect time to prepare your skin for the season ahead. At Uptown Salon and Spa, we understand the unique needs of our coastal community and offer a range of treatments designed to help you look and feel your best—whether you’re lounging on the sand, enjoying the promenade, or heading out for a summer event.
In this comprehensive guide, we’ll walk you through the top five professional treatments to get your skin summer-ready, plus expert advice on how to maintain your radiant results all season long.
1. Laser Hair Removal: Smooth Confidence, All Summer
Tired of the endless cycle of shaving, waxing, and dealing with ingrown hairs? Laser hair removal is a game-changer for anyone seeking smooth, carefree skin that lasts well beyond the summer months. Uptown Salon and Spa uses advanced laser technology to safely and effectively reduce unwanted hair on virtually any area of the body, including legs, underarms, bikini line, and face.
Why get laser hair removal before summer?
- Long-lasting results: Most clients notice a significant reduction in hair growth after just a few sessions.
- No more razor burn or irritation: Enjoy beach days without the worry of bumps or redness.
- Low maintenance: Once your series is complete, you’ll only need occasional touch-ups.
Pro tip: Start your laser hair removal treatments in spring to ensure optimal results by the time summer arrives. Avoid sun exposure on treated areas for best safety and efficacy.
2. HydraFacial: Instant Glow for Every Skin Type
HydraFacial is one of White Rock’s most sought-after treatments for a reason. This multi-step facial deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates your skin, leaving you with an immediate, dewy glow that’s perfect for summer. Unlike traditional facials, HydraFacial uses a patented vortex technology to painlessly extract impurities and infuse the skin with nourishing serums.
Summer benefits of HydraFacial:
- Removes buildup from sunscreen and sweat: Keeps pores clear and skin fresh.
- Boosts hydration: Essential for combating the drying effects of sun and salt air.
- Customizable: Target concerns like pigmentation, oiliness, or sensitivity.
At Uptown Salon and Spa, our estheticians tailor every HydraFacial to your unique needs, ensuring you leave with luminous, healthy skin ready for the spotlight.
3. Body Contouring: Sculpt and Tone for Swimsuit Season
If you’re looking to enhance your silhouette before slipping into your favorite swimwear, consider non-surgical body contouring treatments. Uptown Salon and Spa offers advanced options that use radiofrequency, ultrasound, or other technologies to target stubborn fat and tighten skin—without surgery or downtime.
Why consider body contouring before summer?
- Noticeable results: Many clients see visible improvements in just a few sessions.
- No recovery time: Get back to your routine immediately.
- Boosts confidence: Feel your best on the beach, at the pool, or in summer attire.
Pro tip: For optimal results, start your body contouring treatments a couple of months before your summer plans, as the body continues to process and improve after each session.
4. Medical-Grade Facials: Repair and Protect
White Rock’s sunny climate is beautiful, but it can also take a toll on your skin. Medical-grade facials at Uptown Salon and Spa use potent active ingredients and advanced techniques to address sun damage, dehydration, and uneven skin tone. These facials are more intensive than spa facials, delivering results you can see and feel.
Key benefits for summer skin:
- Repairs winter damage: Rejuvenates skin after months of cold, dry air.
- Strengthens skin barrier: Prepares your skin to better withstand UV exposure and environmental stressors.
- Targets specific concerns: Whether you’re dealing with pigmentation, fine lines, or acne, there’s a facial for you.
Our estheticians will assess your skin and recommend the ideal treatment plan to ensure you step into summer with your healthiest complexion yet. Book your free consultation here.
5. Chemical Peels: Reveal Fresh, Even Skin
Chemical peels are an excellent way to shed dull, damaged skin and reveal a smoother, more even complexion. At Uptown Salon and Spa, we offer a range of peels—from gentle to more intensive—customized to your skin’s needs and your summer goals.
Why peels are perfect for pre-summer prep:
- Fade sunspots and discoloration: Achieve a more uniform skin tone.
- Smooth texture: Minimize the appearance of fine lines and rough patches.
- Boost radiance: Uncover glowing skin just in time for the sunny season.
Important: Schedule chemical peels a few weeks before peak sun exposure, as fresh skin is more sensitive to UV rays. Always use high-SPF sunscreen post-treatment.
Maintaining Your Summer Glow: Expert Tips
Professional treatments are just the beginning. To keep your skin looking its best all summer, follow these expert recommendations from Uptown Salon and Spa:
- Apply SPF daily: Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30, and reapply every two hours when outdoors.
- Hydrate inside and out: Drink plenty of water and use lightweight, hydrating skincare products.
- Exfoliate gently: Regular exfoliation prevents buildup but avoid harsh scrubs that can irritate sun-exposed skin.
- Book maintenance treatments: Monthly facials or touch-up laser sessions keep your results fresh and long-lasting.
- Protect your skin: Wear hats, sunglasses, and seek shade during peak sun hours.
