Tip #1: Address sun-damaged skin including your age spots and freckles
Freckles can make you look so cute and unique, but because they are part of your genetic code they will always make an appearance to the sun, not protecting your skin makes you a lot more prone to hyper-pigmentation, making all of your freckles form a big stain on your face. Even out your complexion by using targeted spot treatment products with lightening agents such as Hydroquinone, Gojic Acids, Lactic Acids and Retinols:
PCA SKIN’s®

Sunscreen is essential and you need to wear it every day all year long.

Tip # 2 Exfoliate for smooth and glowing skin
Skin is always dull and rough after a summer full of sun and outdoor activities, when your skin surface is full of dead skin cells, it needs way more than just a hydrating mask or vitamins. At this point your skin needs a deep exfoliation in order to improve the absorption of any skin products.
*It is the perfect time to do:
Chemical Peels
Our PCA SKIN® Jessner Chemical Peels are formulated for any type of skin and condition, from aggressive acne to sensitive skins. PCA SKIN® was the first in the business to formulate a modified and enhanced Jessner’s peel called PCA Peel®, allowing treatments to be performed on a wider range of clients with increased benefits. PCA SKIN’s PCA Peel® range include kojic and citric acids, and Hydroquinone blended in a traditional Jessner’s solution for safe and effective results for a variety of skin types.
What is a Jessner Peel?
A Jessner’s peel is a peeling solution that is designed to improve skin on a deeper level. It combines lactic and salicylic acids with resorcinol to exfoliate while treating conditions such as acne and Hyper-pigmentation.
Microdermabrasion: using a minimally abrasive instrument to gently sand your skin, removing the thicker, uneven outer layer. This type of skin rejuvenation is used to treat light scarring, discoloration, sun damage, and stretch marks.
Microdermabrasion can:
- Improve age spots and black heads.
- Improve hyperpigmentation (patches of darkened skin).
- Exfoliate your skin, resulting in a refreshed appearance.
- Lessen the appearance of stretch marks.
- Reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
- Reduce or eliminate enlarged pores.
- Treat acne and the scars left by acne.
Microdermabrasion helps to thicken your collagen, which results in a younger looking complexion. Collagen is a protein in your skin that’s abundant when you’re a child and makes skin appear taut and smooth. Collagen production declines as we age, resulting in looser, uneven skin.
Body Exfoliation
Exfoliation is not only for the skin on your face, we also put the skin on our body through some pretty damaging sun exposure, for this try our Germaine De Capuccini Mediterranean Body Exfoliation!
Buff away dead skin cells, allowing subsequent products applied to penetrate, hydrate and treat effectively.

Tip # 3 Get rid of those shavers once and for all with Laser Hair Removal
With new and advanced technology, hiding from the sun while getting Laser treatments done is a thing of the past; but when living in an all year round tropical city like Miami, the truly best months to do any Laser treatments are October thru March which will give you time for exactly 6 monthly treatments. With a minimum of 6 sessions of hair removal, you should be about a 90% hair free, Losing up to 15% of your hair on each session. Allowing you to reveal smooth, hairless skin by next summer.
How does Laser Hair Removal work?
In this procedure, Laser light is absorbed by the melanin in the hair shaft, damaging the follicular epithelium.
Treatment duration?
Each pulse of the laser takes a fraction of a second and can treat many hairs at the same time. The laser can treat an area approximately the size of a quarter every second. Small areas such as the upper lip can be treated in less than a minute, and large areas, such as legs, may take up to an hour.

Tip # 4 Make your skin think like a 20 yr. old skin again!
1. eMatrix– Sublative skin rejuvenation is a unique procedure which uses radio frequency to deliver an effective but controlled ablative and non-ablative fractional treatment. Each pulse delivers the radio frequency via a grid of matrix spots, inducing a skin “injury” while activating fibroblast, allowing collagen to regenerate and remodel, yielding improved skin tone. After this treatment your skin will think like the skin of a 20 yr. old again by looking better and better over time.
*Usually 3 to 5 treatments are needed for optimal results.
2. IPL photo facial– Target those sun spots on your face, neck & décolleté, hands, arms, and chest. A photo facial or “fotofacial” is a 30-minute procedure, in which intense pulses of light are used to penetrate deep into the skin. IPL™ photo rejuvenation causes collagen and blood vessels below the epidermis to constrict, reducing redness and age lines. Turning any Hyper-pigmentation spot darker for a few days turning it into a scab while it heals and then finally falling off to reveal a less pronounced sun spot and even skin color.
