Why Microneedling Is One of the Best Summer Skin Treatments
Erin TurneyWhy Microneedling Is One of the Best Summer Skin Treatments
Many people assume they need to avoid professional skin treatments during the summer months, but microneedling with the MDERMA by DERMAPEN® device is actually one of the best treatments to maintain healthy, glowing skin all summer long when performed properly and followed with the correct aftercare.
Unlike aggressive laser treatments or deep chemical peels that remove or heavily damage the surface layer of the skin, microneedling works by creating controlled micro-channels in the skin while largely keeping the epidermis intact. This allows the skin to stimulate natural collagen and elastin production with significantly less downtime and less disruption to the skin barrier.
Because the surface of the skin remains more intact, MDERMA by DERMAPEN® microneedling treatments can be an excellent option during warmer months when paired with proper sun protection and professional aftercare.
Benefits of MDERMA by DERMAPEN® Microneedling During the Summer
MDERMA by DERMAPEN® microneedling offers numerous benefits that are especially helpful during summer, including:
• Improving overall skin texture and tone
• Softening fine lines and wrinkles
• Improving the appearance of acne scars and other scarring
• Helping reduce the appearance of pigmentation and sun damage
• Supporting healthier, firmer, more radiant skin
• Enhancing absorption of professional skincare products
• Helping skin appear hydrated and refreshed
Summer can often leave skin feeling dehydrated, congested, irritated, or uneven due to heat, sweat, sunscreen buildup, chlorine, saltwater, and increased UV exposure. Microneedling helps encourage healthy skin renewal while maintaining a more natural skin barrier compared to more aggressive resurfacing treatments.
The Importance of Proper Summer Aftercare
While microneedling is an excellent summer treatment, proper aftercare is extremely important. Keeping the skin calm, hydrated, and protected from UV exposure helps maximize results and support healthy healing.
One of the most important summer skincare habits is daily sun protection. In addition to wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day, many dermatologists highly recommend applying a Vitamin C serum underneath sunscreen as part of a comprehensive daily defense strategy.
Vitamin C and sunscreen work together as a powerful dual-defense system. While sunscreen helps protect the skin from harmful UV rays, Vitamin C provides antioxidant protection by helping neutralize free radicals caused by sun exposure, pollution, and other environmental stressors. Together, they help support healthier, brighter, and more youthful-looking skin while helping defend against premature signs of aging.
For optimal daily protection, we recommend applying INDERMA® 20% Vitamin C Serum underneath SUNDERMA® Sunscreen every morning. This dermatologist-recommended combination provides both antioxidant and UV protection, helping defend the skin from environmental damage while supporting a brighter, healthier, more radiant complexion. This simple daily routine is one of the best ways to protect your skin throughout the summer and help maintain the results of your microneedling treatments.
Our Favorite Summer Aftercare Products from INDERMA®
The INDERMA® Essential Masque helps soothe and calm the skin while delivering intense hydration after treatment. It is also wonderful for skin that has been exposed to excess sun, heat, or dryness during the summer months. The mask helps reduce the appearance of redness and irritation while supporting the skin’s natural recovery process, making it an excellent addition to any post-treatment or post-sun skincare routine.
INDERMA® Phyto Serum is one of our favorite summer skincare products because it helps cool, calm, and reduce the appearance of redness in the skin. It is ideal post-treatment and also excellent after sun exposure.
INDERMA® 20% Vitamin C Serum is a favorite during summer because it helps brighten the appearance of the skin and improve the look of uneven pigmentation caused by sun exposure while supporting a healthy, radiant glow.
When used underneath SUNDERMA® Sunscreen, it becomes part of a powerful dual-defense system that helps protect the skin from both UV damage and environmental free radicals. This combination is highly recommended by many dermatologists as part of a healthy daily skincare routine.
INDERMA® Bio-Cellulose Masks are extremely popular after microneedling treatments and are also amazing after time spent in the sun. They help cool, hydrate, and comfort the skin while supporting moisture retention. In addition, they help reduce the appearance of redness and irritation, leaving the skin feeling refreshed, soothed, and revitalized.
Proper sunscreen use is essential after any professional treatment, especially during the summer months.
SUNDERMA® Sunscreen is a 20% zinc oxide-based physical block sunscreen, making it an excellent option after skincare procedures and treatments. Physical zinc protection helps shield compromised or freshly treated skin from UV exposure while remaining gentle on sensitive skin.
When paired with INDERMA® 20% Vitamin C Serum, SUNDERMA® Sunscreen helps provide comprehensive daily protection against UV rays and environmental stressors while supporting healthy, youthful-looking skin.
INDERMA® Antibacterial Spray is another excellent product to keep on hand during the summer months. It helps keep the skin clean from bacteria and is especially great to use after sports, workouts, sweating, or outdoor activities during hot weather. It can also be used to help freshen and cleanse the skin throughout the day during increased summer heat and humidity.
By helping keep the skin cleaner and reducing the buildup of bacteria, sweat, oil, and debris on the skin’s surface, it can also be a valuable addition to a skincare routine for individuals prone to acne and breakouts during the summer months.
