When summer arrives in Washington, DC, it’s time to give your skincare routine a seasonal refresh. Increased humidity, stronger UV rays, and more time outdoors can challenge even the healthiest complexions. My dermatologist-recommended treatments protect, hydrate, and rejuvenate your skin while minimizing sun sensitivity.
If you’re looking for the best skin treatments for summer, here are 5 smart, sun-safe solutions that keep DC locals glowing and radiant all season long.
1. Tighten and Refine With Genius® RF Microneedling
If you’re concerned about enlarged pores, acne scars, or laxity, Genius RF microneedling delivers noticeable results with minimal sun sensitivity. Combining radiofrequency energy with microneedling stimulates collagen production deep within the skin. Unlike traditional resurfacing lasers, RF microneedling is safe during summer months and ideal for maintaining firmness and clarity despite the heat.
2. Relax & Stay Fresh With BOTOX® Cosmetic
Summer is the season to relax; your skin should get the same memo. Go-to neuromodulators like BOTOX, Dysport®, XEOMIN®, and DAXXIFY® help you unwind more than just your schedule by relaxing the facial muscles that cause fine lines and wrinkles. You’ll achieve a smoother, more refreshed look that matches your “chill” summer mindset. For those with hyperhidrosis, BOTOX can also reduce underarm sweat—perfect for staying polished during the District’s steamy months.
Of course, remember to apply high-quality sunscreen throughout the summer to preserve your fresh, youthful look.
3. Glow—Without the Downtime—Using UltraClear® Laser
This fractional cold-fiber laser gently resurfaces skin to minimize pigmentation, fine lines, and dull texture, with less downtime and risk of sun sensitivity than traditional resurfacing treatments. Compared to harsher laser treatments, UltraClear is an excellent option for ultra-busy DC professionals who want visible results without lengthy downtime. Schedule your treatment during the week, and you’ll enjoy weekend barbecues, festivals, and get-togethers under the sun without missing a beat.

4. Re-Hydrate With Custom Medical-Grade Facials & Peels
Rising humidity and sweat can leave skin feeling congested and irritated, but a professional facial helps keep breakouts at bay. Our customized facials go beyond basic cleansing to target clogged pores, calm inflammation, and deeply hydrate the skin.
For patients looking to take their results further, gentle chemical peels can be incorporated to exfoliate dead skin cells, brighten the complexion, and refine texture without significant downtime. As with all exfoliating treatments, however, diligent sun protection is essential after a peel—even a gentle one.
5. Reveal Radiant Skin With DermaSweep Microdermabrasion
Summer is the perfect time to refresh your skin’s surface and restore a natural glow—and DermaSweep makes it easy. This advanced microdermabrasion treatment gently exfoliates dull, dead skin while infusing customized serums to hydrate, brighten, or clarify your complexion. The result? Luminous skin that looks and feels rejuvenated (minus the downtime). Whether you’re preparing for a fun gathering or want to feel more confident going makeup-free by the pool, DermaSweep offers a gentle yet effective glow-up.
