Now that summer has rolled in, there’s a whole bunch of
(totally) normal weather-related things to factor in your daily routines. You’ve
got to be more consistent with shaving, moisturizing and keeping frizzy hair
tamed. That’s just a couple of things on the list. Below are some typical
concerns people have when the warmer weather is here. But fear not, we’ve
listed a few solutions and treatments on how to deal with them.
Sweating
Sweating is inevitable when it’s sweltering hot. You could take refuge in the shade or shed off a few layers of clothing to stop sweating. But if you find that you sweat excessively—even when it’s not summer—you might have to consider other options to stop it.
How to stop sweating
You can try miraDry or Botox to disable your sweat glands in
certain areas of your body. To permanently stop underarm sweating, miraDry is
your solution. It’s a non-invasive treatment that uses controlled energy to
eliminate underarm sweat glands. Once they’re removed, they won’t grow back.
Results are permanent. And as an added bonus, miraDry treatments also remove
underarm hair permanently.
Botox injections, on the other hand, provide temporary
results. If you find that you tend to sweat a lot on your armpits, hands or
feet, Botox injections helps this problem. Once an injection is made to the
problem areas, the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate sweat glands
get blocked. Within 10 minutes, you won’t have to worry about sweating for up
to 6 months.
Cellulite

Does your cellulite make you hesitant to wear certain
clothing or swimwear? You’re definitely not alone. In fact, cellulite is seen
in up to 95% of women of all shapes and sizes. Cellulite is influenced by both
genetic and lifestyle factors. Diet does matter when it comes to cellulite.
Consider bulking up on food that’s rich in vitamin C as they’re known to boost
collagen levels in the skin.
How to get rid of cellulite
Sometimes you want to see more immediate results. Look into cellulite
removal treatments like Venus Freeze. Your technician moves the radiofrequency
applicator back on forth over your problem area. Once the electrical current
heats the skin and soft tissue, this helps stimulate collagen production. It
also reduces fat cell content. Each treatment takes about 20-30 minutes to
complete. Without the need for recovery time, you can get back to work or
regular activities after Venus Freeze treatments.
Brown spots

Make it a habit to wear sunscreen or limit time in the sun
if you don’t want to increase your chances of developing brown spots. Sun
exposure and ultraviolet light exposure are some factors that may cause brown
spots (also known as age spots). Areas that are more likely to develop brown
spots are the ones that are most exposed to the sun such as: the face, back of
hands, forearms and shoulders. While brown spots aren’t harmful, some people
simply dislike the appearance of them and decide to remove them.
How to treat brown spots on skin
There are several laser brown spot removal and intense pulsed light treatments
available to fade your brown spots within minutes. If you decide to get IPL
treatments, the brown spot darkens first and the lesion then fades over the
course of 3-6 weeks. With laser treatments, the area where your brown spot used
to be becomes crusted. This area is covered with ointment and bandage until it
falls off after 7-10 days.
