The Best Body Facial Aesthetic Treatments To Undergo During Summer
There are many points to consider when undertaking facial aesthetic treatments. These include: choice of practitioner; the procedure, or combination of procedures; which treatment will best remedy your skin complaint and how many treatments you will require, to name but a few.
In addition, it is equally as important to take account of the time of year. Some treatments, such as Chemical Peels, are not advisable to request during the summer months. These procedures remove the outermost layer of skin, exposing fresh skin cells that are highly sensitive to the sun’s rays.
To avoid unwanted, adverse effects on your skin, discuss your favoured treatment with an experienced aesthetics practitioner before committing to it. For now, consider RP Aesthetics’ favourite summer skin and body treatments, all of which do not pose any risk to the skin during hot spells of weather.
Facial Aesthetic Treatments: Anti-Wrinkle Injections
Anti-Wrinkle Injections are the number one non-surgical treatment for men and women, globally. The injections block chemical signals from the nerves to the muscles. This inhibits muscle contraction and diminishes the associated skin creases, sometimes eliminating fine lines entirely.
The formation of new wrinkles takes time, but repeated facial expressions slowly begin to take their toll on our skin. Each time we smile, for example, the skin around the corners of our eyes folds, eventually leading to the development of crow’s feet.
Smile lines also appear when we squint. Long, bright summer days magnify the amount that we narrow our gaze, causing the wrinkle formation process to speed up. Anti-Wrinkle Injections not only smooth away existing smile lines, they also prevent new ones from forming.
We recommend that clients avoid direct sun exposure for 24 hours after treatment, however, this is a small sacrifice for younger-looking skin.
The Obagi® Skincare Range
With over 30 years of clinically proven results, Obagi® continues to transform the skincare industry. Owing to an incredibly rigorous research and development process, Obagi® products contain the most efficacious ingredients at optimal concentrations and in their highest-quality, most bioavailable form. These ingredients are combined to create unique skincare collections, formulated to target specific skin concerns, including acne, pigmentation and ageing.
During the summer months, our sebaceous glands produce excess sebum, which can cause the skin to become oily. This can trigger breakouts and exacerbate symptoms of acne. The Obagi® CLENZIderm M.D.® System utilises benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid in its three-step approach to fighting acne, resulting in a brighter, clearer complexion.
If we neglect to increase our water intake during spells of warmer weather, the skin may become dehydrated. This is not to be confused with dry skin, to which you are genetically predisposed, despite the two conditions sharing some of the same symptoms. When the skin’s water content is depleted, the overall tone of your complexion may appear dull and uneven, with patches sometimes becoming itchy. Obagi® Hydrate® products provide instant and long-lasting hydration clinically shown to improve the moisture content of the skin.
Richard Peppiatt, the founder of RP Aesthetics, is the North East’s lead Obagi® ambassador. As many products require a prescription, his skincare services are in high demand.

Mesotherapy
Cellulite affects approximately 80 – 90% of women and, although harmless, can look unsightly. An abundance of products claim to reduce the appearance of dimpled skin, however, few are effective in doing so. As our summer wardrobes reveal the skin most affected by cellulite, many seek out more robust solutions.
Mesotherapy involves injecting a cocktail of vitamins, enzymes, hormones and plant extracts into the skin. The solution increases the local metabolic rate, breaking up the connective tissue fibres that trap fat cells and cause the bumpy texture of cellulite. Collagen and elastin production is stimulated, which further tightens and smooths the area of skin being treated.
How Do I Book My Summer Facial Aesthetic Treatments?
Before booking a procedure, double-check that it will not require you to stay hidden indoors, away from the sun’s powerful rays. With a wealth of aesthetic knowledge and experience, Richard Peppiatt is able to guide you through a long list of safe summer treatments that target a multitude of skin concerns.
