Preparing for Summer: How Aesthetic Treatments Can Boost Your Confidence

Preparing for Summer: How Aesthetic Treatments Can Boost Your Confidence

There’s something about summer that brings forth the social butterfly in everyone, and it’s normal to travel, socialize, and simply enjoy the weather of the season. Looking good is feeling good, so the time and effort you spend on your appearance boosts esteem and confidence. 

Have you considered aesthetic treatments provided by your gynecologist? Dr. Jennifer Moreira and her team at ThriveOB and Women's Wellness in Barrington, Illinois, offer a range of services that cater to your inner self. 

From cosmetic injectables to chemical peels, we care about your total wellness, including how you look. Here’s how medical aesthetic treatments can boost your confidence this summer. 

Why do we want to look good in the summer?

With the lighter layers of warm-weather wardrobe, there’s more of you on display than in parka and sweater season. It’s a time to tighten up, physically and mentally, and caring for your skin and appearance touches on the desire to feel good about yourself and how you project yourself to the world. 

Popular summer aesthetic preparations

Botox® and dermal fillers dominate the aesthetics playing field these days as fast and long-lasting ways to counter lines and wrinkles, two of the biggest confidence destroyers you can encounter. 

Even if these aren’t your primary concern, refreshing your complexion virtually always provides an esteem boost. You can even take charge of your shape with body contouring. Let’s examine the options we frequently recommend. 

Aesthetic injectables

Botox Cosmetic treats expression muscles that, over time, settle into a partially contracted state that never fully relaxes. The active ingredient in Botox is a neuromodulator, a substance that blocks the contracting action of muscles into which it’s injected. 

In precise, strategically chosen muscles in your forehead, between your eyebrows, and beside your eyes, Botox creates a natural smoothing effect by relaxing these muscles. Your face remains expressive and dynamic, but softens as expressions change. 

Dermal fillers treat passive lines and wrinkles, providing support and volume where time has taken a toll. Fillers and Botox are complementary, treating two different origins, and they’re ideal as a mixed treatment to smooth your face. 

Chemical peels

From light, refreshing treatments to deep treatments, chemical peels offer a wide range of complexion improvements. We use a range of VI peels to create effects from light tone and texture improvements to aggressive treatments that tackle acne scarring and skin pigmentation. We customize your peel experience to match your needs and aesthetic goals. 

Body sculpting

When diet and exercise fail to contain subdermal fat deposits, it may feel that your weight control efforts are falling short. The fact is, there are some deposits you can’t influence. That’s why there’s Emsculpt Neo®

A system that combines radiofrequency (RF) warming with high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to simultaneously dissolve fat and tone muscle, Emsculpt Neo gives you control over these otherwise stubborn bulges and rolls that frustrate your efforts. 

The best aesthetic plan is one that matches your goals and needs. Contact ThriveOB and Women's Wellness to discuss your summer aesthetic targets with us.
