Preparing for Summer: Aqualyx, Skin, and Glow

Summer brings events, holidays, and the desire to look our best in lighter clothing. At Berkshire Aesthetics, the pre-summer rush is a busy time as patients seek to refine their bodies and refresh their faces. Planning your treatments in advance is key. Whether you are considering Aqualyx for body contouring or a course of laser hair removal, timing is everything. We offer a comprehensive suite of treatments designed to have you feeling confident and radiant by the time the sun comes out.


Anti Wrinkle Injections for a Fresh Look


Bright sunlight can highlight every line and furrow on the face. Anti wrinkle injections are the perfect pre-summer "tweakment" to smooth out the forehead and eye area, ensuring you look relaxed in your holiday photos. We recommend booking your anti wrinkle injections at least two weeks before any major event to allow the full effect to settle and any minor bruising to heal. The result is a smooth, youthful canvas that requires less makeup—perfect for the heat of summer.


Aqualyx and Body Confidence


Body confidence is a major concern as swimwear season approaches. Treatments like Aqualyx are popular for targeting small, stubborn areas of fat such as the "bra bulge" or inner thighs. However, these treatments often require multiple sessions and cause some swelling, so starting early in the year is advisable. At Berkshire Aesthetics, we create a timeline for your body contouring, whether using fat dissolving injectables or CoolSculpting, ensuring you are recovered and seeing results just in time for your vacation.


Combining Anti Wrinkle Injections with SPF


While anti wrinkle injections treat the lines formed by muscle movement, they do not protect the skin from UV damage. We emphasize the importance of high-quality sun protection, especially after aesthetic treatments. Dr. Langdon recommends medical-grade SPFs from ranges like ZO Skin Health, which offer superior protection compared to high street brands. protecting your investment in your skin is crucial; UV rays break down collagen and can reduce the longevity of your injectable results.


Aqualyx: A Part of the Puzzle


While Aqualyx can help reduce fat, skin quality on the body is equally important. We often combine fat reduction with treatments like Profhilo Body or Morpheus8 Body to tighten loose skin and improve texture (cellulite). There is no point in losing fat if the skin left behind is crepey. Our holistic body protocols address volume, laxity, and texture simultaneously, giving you the firm, smooth contours that make you feel unstoppable on the beach.


Summer Ready Checklist:



  • Body Contouring: Start CoolSculpting or fat dissolving 3-4 months prior.

  • Injectables: Book 3 weeks before travel.

  • Laser Hair Removal: Start in winter for hair-free summer skin.

  • Skincare: Switch to a lighter, protective summer regimen.

  • Hydration: Hydrafacial for that instant summer glow.
