When summer rolls around, many people hit pause on their skincare treatments out of fear of sun sensitivity. But guess what? Not all advanced treatments need to take a seasonal break—SkinPen® microneedling is one of them. At Joli Beautique Medspa, we love SkinPen® year-round, and here’s why you don’t need to shy away from it just because the sun is shining.
Why People Worry About Treatments in Summer
Some skin treatments, like certain chemical peels or laser procedures, increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun, making you more prone to pigmentation and irritation. Because of that, summer is often labeled as a “no-go” for advanced skincare—but that’s not the case with microneedling.
What Makes SkinPen® Summer-Safe?
SkinPen® is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device and is known for its safety, precision, and effectiveness. Here’s why it’s a great option in the summer:
- Minimal downtime – You might have some pinkness for a day or two, but it’s nothing that should stop your summer plans.
- No heat or light – Unlike lasers, SkinPen® doesn’t use energy or heat, so there’s no risk of heat-induced pigmentation.
- Precision-controlled depth – The needles target the dermis without damaging the surface layer of skin, meaning the barrier stays mostly intact and your skin stays protected.
- Safe on all skin tones – SkinPen® is safe for every skin type and tone, making it ideal for summer use when pigment concerns are higher.
Our Pro Tips for Summer Microneedling
While SkinPen® is safe during summer, smart aftercare is still key. Here’s what we recommend:
- Avoid direct sun exposure for 48–72 hours post-treatment.
- Use a mineral SPF 30 or higher daily (and reapply!).
- Skip pool days and sweaty workouts for the first 24 hours.
- Stay hydrated—inside and out. Drink water and use a hydrating serum to support skin healing.
The Benefits You’ll Still Reap This Season
By staying on track with your SkinPen® treatments during the summer, you don’t lose momentum in your skincare journey. In fact, microneedling:
- Improves skin texture and tone
- Minimizes acne scars and fine lines
- Shrinks pores and boosts collagen
- Gives you a naturally radiant summer glow
Our Final Thought: Glow All Year
At Joli Beautique Medspa, we believe in aging gracefully and consistently caring for your skin, no matter the season. With the right precautions, SkinPen® microneedling is a safe and effective summer treatment that keeps your skin fresh, plump, and glowing—even while you’re enjoying that sunshine.
