The vacation is over. Memories remain — and damage to the skin. Sun, sea salt, chlorine from the pool, dry air from air conditioning. September is the best time to start regeneration, as the skin is still ready for intensive treatments.
What Exactly Happens to the Skin in Summer?
| Factor | Visible Effect | Long-term Effect |
|---|---|---|
| UV (UVA + UVB) | Tan, erythema | Photoaging, discoloration, skin cancer |
| Sea Salt + Wind | Dryness, tightness | Barrier damage |
| Chlorine (Pool) | Irritation, dehydration | Skin reactivity |
| Air Conditioning | Drying | Increased TEWL (transepidermal water loss) |
| Discontinued Retinoids/AHA | Accumulated dead cells | Gray, dull complexion |
| Skipped SPF | Sun spots, burns | DNA damage in cells |
Step 1 (September): Deep Cleansing
HydraFacial — Reset After Summer
The first visit after vacation should be a cleansing treatment. HydraFacial removes dead cells, blackheads, hydrates, and infuses serum — without irritating the tan.
When: Right after returning — the skin does not need to be completely "rested" from the sun.
Effect: The face breathes again, pores are unclogged, hydration improves.
Price: from 400 PLN
OxyGeneo Illuminate — Brightening After Tanning
The Illuminate capsule (vitamin C, glutathione, kojic acid) works on uneven skin tone after summer. Oxybrasion removes the superficial layer, the capsule brightens.
Effect: Even skin tone, reduction of superficial sun spots.
Price: from 350 PLN
Step 2 (October): Treatment of Discoloration
Chemical Peeling After the Season
When the tan fades (min. 4–6 weeks after intense tanning) → it's time for acids.
| Peeling | Indication After Summer | Depth |
|---|---|---|
| PRX-T33 | Rejuvenation, discoloration, no peeling | Superficial-medium |
| Cosmelan | Deep spots, melasma, resistant discoloration | Professional protocol |
| PQ AGE | Photo-aging, wrinkles, uneven skin tone | Superficial-medium |
| BHA 30% | Pores, increased acne after summer | Superficial |
| Sesderma Ferulac | Antioxidation, discoloration, regeneration | Superficial |
Important: Summer = pause for acids. September/October = return to peels.
DYE-VL Laser — Spots and Vessels
In summer, blood vessels expand and new sun spots (lentigo solaris) appear. DYE-VL freezes vessels and destroys melanin in spots.
Timing: Min. 4–6 weeks after tanning — the skin must be light.
Effect After Session: Spots darken for 7–10 days, then fade.
Price: from 300 PLN / session
Step 3 (October–November): Deep Regeneration
Profhilo — Hydration After UV Stress
Profhilo is pure HA in two injections (5 points on each side of the face). It rebuilds the ECM matrix, deeply hydrates. Ideal after summer when the skin is "exhausted".
Series: 2 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart, then 1 maintenance session every 6 months.
Price: from 1200 PLN / session
Sculptra — Volume Restoration After Photoaging
Long-term sun exposure accelerates collagen degradation and loss of volume. Sculptra (PLLA) stimulates neocollagenesis — 2–3 sessions every 4–6 weeks.
For: People over 40 with clear photoaging, loss of cheeks, and sagging.
Price: from 2500 PLN / session
Return to Home Care After Summer
Restarting Acids — How to Do It Safely
After vacation, the skin is often dehydrated and reactive. Return plan:
Week 1–2: Only hydration + SPF + gentle cleansing. No acids.
Week 3: 10% azelaic acid — safe restart, regulates skin tone without irritation.
Week 4: 0.025% retinol — slowly, 2× a week.
Week 6+: Full acid protocol according to tolerance.
SPF — All Year Round, Not Just in Summer
❌ Myth: We use SPF only on vacation and in the sun.
✅ Facts: UVA (aging) penetrates through clouds and windows 365 days a year. SPF 30–50 every day, all year round.
