After a summer of sun, surf, and SPF, your skin might be feeling the effects: dryness, pigmentation, and uneven tone are all common. At MiraMed and Day Spa, we offer advanced Post-Summer Skin Repair treatments to reverse damage and restore your skin’s glow. Whether you’re battling sunspots, fine lines, or dehydration, our targeted therapies will help get your skin back on track.

Important: If your skin is currently sunburned or actively peeling, we must wait for it to fully heal before performing any treatment. Treating sunburned skin can lead to irritation, hyperpigmentation, or delayed healing. Our team will guide you on when it’s safe to begin repair treatments.

Why Post-Summer Skin Repair Is Essential

Even with diligent SPF use, summer can leave behind:

  • UV-induced damage (even if not visible) like sunspots

  • Dehydrated or flaking skin

  • Breakouts from sweat and sunscreen buildup

  • Loss of elasticity and firmness

Our post-summer skin repair treatments help undo this damage using safe, clinical-grade solutions that are tailored to your skin type and goals.

Healing Comes First: Why We Wait on Sunburns

We care deeply about your skin’s safety. Attempting treatments while your skin is still sunburned or inflamed can lead to:

  • Increased irritation

  • Delayed healing

  • Potential scarring or hyperpigmentation

Our team will evaluate your skin and may recommend soothing products or a waiting period before beginning more intensive treatments.

FAQs

❓ Can I get a treatment if I have a mild sunburn?

No. We must wait until all redness, heat, and peeling are gone. Sunburned skin is compromised and sensitive to active ingredients and technology.

❓ How long should I wait after sun exposure?

For most treatments, wait 1–2 weeks after your last significant sun exposure and be sunburn-free. For lasers or peels, up to 4 weeks of sun avoidance may be required.

❓ How many sessions are needed?

Results vary by treatment and skin type. Some people see dramatic improvements after one visit; others may benefit from a series.
