Ways to Achieve Radiant Skin for Summer
- Posted on: Jun 30 2016
The summer heat is here in Southwest Florida, and you’ve taken good care of your skin all winter season… right? Well, even if you haven’t always been diligent about the moisturizer or SPF, 
Azul medical spa offers a wide range of services that can get you ready for another season of sunshine. Whether you want to target specific areas like fine lines and wrinkles or dark spots, or simply want an all-over brighter, fresher look, our state-of-the-art medical spa offers a full range of minimally invasive and non-invasive treatments that rejuvenate your skin in time for summer.
Sure, you could spend a fortune on over-the-counter products or beauty salons that provide superficial results (at most). But if you’re really serious about keeping your skin healthy as well as beautiful, medical-grade skincare is the only way to go. A facial is good for more than just your skin – it also benefits your mind and body, and provides an oasis of relaxation in the middle of your hectic day. Relax and enjoy a therapeutic facial massage along with an Azul Platinum Facial, which can be customized to your specific needs (such as hydration, acne prevention and more). Or choose a rejuvenating Microneedling procedure or Hydrafacial to nourish your skin and revive your natural, healthy glow.
In fact, skincare is a family business for Dr. Patrick Flaharty and his wife, Dr. Kristen Flaharty. Dr. Kristen is the founder of Trilogy Laboratories, which manufactures the Azul line of medical-grade custom skincare products. She works with her husband and the Azul team to create products that are specifically formulated for the cosmetic surgery patient. Products include Anti-aging collections and Minerale makeup, as well as eye creams, serums, moisturizers, exfoliants, toners, cleansers and active treatments that clear and prevent skin blemishes. As one of America’s leading facial plastic surgeons, Dr. Patrick Flaharty only endorses professional-quality skincare formulations that are clinically proven to reverse visible signs of aging. The Flahartys’ dedication to healthy skincare is a constant inspiration to the rest of the Azul team, and keeps us focused on our goal of providing you with top-quality products and services.
A good skincare regimen can go a long way toward achieving and maintaining the healthy, radiant skin you want. If you’re prepared to add more dramatic measures to refresh your skin quickly, you can choose a light, moderate or deep peel from our Medical Peel program. Each of these uses a mildly acidic solution to remove dead skin cells and reveal brighter, fresher layers of new skin. Chemical peels provide deep exfoliation, though they won’t stimulate production of new collagen or elastin. If these are your goals, consider microdermabrasion or dermaplaning instead. Both of these treatments exfoliate deeply, encourage cell regeneration and minimize lines, wrinkles and acne scarring. This deep exfoliation also allows skincare products to penetrate more deeply, increasing their effectiveness.
Investing in the health and quality of your skin doesn’t stop there, though. You may not want to hide your newly radiant skin under makeup, or maybe you’d like to skip the tiresome daily routine of putting on your makeup each morning and taking it off again each night. Permanent makeup can keep your skin picture-perfect round the clock, without clogging your pores or leaving a buildup of oily residue. Using a technique similar to tattooing, our highly trained medical aestheticians can actually insert pigments directly into the dermal layer of your skin to hide blemishes, correct asymmetries or create the naturally flawless face you’ve always wanted.
At Azul, we believe it’s never too early (or too late) to start taking excellent care of your skin. Let us be part of your lifelong commitment to healthy, radiant skin! Call us today at (239) 415-7576 to schedule your free consult with a qualified medical aesthetician, and request a copy of Dr. Flaharty’s book, Look Younger Now. You can also contact Azul through our website, with any questions or concerns you have, and get ready for a new season of summer-healthy skin.
