Part 2: Post Summer Skin Recovery Series

 Once we have assessed your post-holiday skin, we can jump straight into the repair phase. At DG Medical Aesthetics, we love "treatment stacking". This means we combine complementary therapies into bespoke packages to help you achieve the best and quickest results, making it much easier to get back into a good routine.

While some advanced treatments require a waiting period after a holiday, there is plenty we can do right away to rescue your skin.

Gentle Anti-Inflammatory Skin Peels: Obagi Blue Radiance

A gentle peel is the perfect post-holiday reset, and the Obagi Blue Radiance peel is one of our absolute favourites. Because it is a salicylic acid-based superficial peel, it is naturally anti-inflammatory and brilliant at clearing out congested pores that have been struggling under heavy, water-resistant sunscreens. It works by gently exfoliating that top layer of dead, sun-parched skin, which instantly helps to lift superficial pigmentation and improve your overall skin texture. The best part is that it delivers a much-needed glow with little to no downtime, meaning you can get straight back to your day.

Refresh Your Injectables

Is your Botox due for a top-up? Getting this booked in as soon as possible will help to smooth out any fine lines exacerbated by the sun. When you are on holiday, you are constantly squinting against the bright sunlight, which overworks the muscles around your eyes (crow's feet) and your forehead. This repetitive movement, combined with sun-induced dehydration, can make those dynamic lines look much more prominent. Relaxing these muscles with Botox not only softens your expression but also prevents those lines from etching deeper into the skin while it recovers its moisture.

Deep Hydration with Skin Boosters: NCTF and SkinVive

If your skin feels like it has forgotten what moisture is, think about adding a skin-boosting treatment. Unlike traditional dermal fillers that add volume or contour, skin boosters are purely focused on treating the quality of the skin itself.

• NCTF 135 HA: This is a powerful polyrevitalising solution packed with over 50 active ingredients, including hyaluronic acid, vitamins, amino acids, and antioxidants. It is delivered via tiny micro-injections to nourish your cells directly. By feeding the skin precisely what it needs at a cellular level, NCTF kickstarts your natural collagen and elastin production while restoring deep hydration and a healthy glow.

• Juvéderm SkinVive: This innovative treatment uses tiny microdroplets of hyaluronic acid injected directly into the dermis (the deeper layer of your skin). Once injected, these microdroplets act like tiny sponges, retaining moisture and providing intense, long-lasting internal hydration. It is particularly fantastic for smoothing the skin on the cheeks, reducing the appearance of pores, and delivering a luminous, glass-like finish that lasts for months.

Combining these treatments allows us to address the texture, tone, and hydration of your skin simultaneously.
