Summer Doesn’t Have to Be a Skin Care Timeout

Melissa Boutin, MSN, FNP-C

Most aesthetic treatments are safe to do in summer. NeoGen Plasma Skin Regeneration is the standout treatment because it uses nitrogen plasma energy rather than light, so a summer tan does not take it off the table.

“I want to do this, but I can’t be stuck inside all summer.” It’s the thought that causes some patients to push their aesthetic wish lists to the fall. There’s a widespread misconception that sun exposure before or after a treatment completely ruins the results. Instead of booking, they decide to wait out the warm months, operating under the myth that summer fun and clinical skincare just can’t coexist.

This is mostly a myth. The truth is simpler, and a lot more freeing. With the broadest variety of advanced aesthetic treatments and technology, SkinMD ensures patients can safely protect their investment and realize their skincare goals all year long—even during the height of summer.

Meet summer’s smartest exception: NeoGen

Here is where it gets good. NeoGen Plasma Skin Regeneration resurfaces and refreshes skin using nitrogen plasma energy, not light. Because it is not chasing pigment the way a laser is, a summer tan does not sideline it the way IPL would. SkinMD providers tailor it across skin types, which makes NeoGen a rare thing: a true resurfacing treatment that actually suits the season.

One honest note: every resurfacing treatment, NeoGen included, comes with sun-smart aftercare and a committed relationship with SPF. “Not ruled out by a tan” is not the same as “skip the sunscreen.” Your future skin will thank you.
