Summer days are sneaking up, RIC. Soon it’ll be waves and rays the rest of the way.

Whether you’re booking beach trips or dreaming of dewy skin ahead of a photo-filled vacay, the experts at Synergy Face + Body by Travis Shaw MD have your back (and face).

Here are the top summer skin recs from the award-winning med spa:

Cache your collagen


Sunlight’s UV radiation breaks down collagen fibers in your skin, accelerating the appearance of fine lines and visible damage.

Yes, even when wearing sunscreen.

The best approach, according to the experts? A preemptive one.

Biostimulators like Sculptra promote natural collagen production in the body, allowing you to bolster your skin’s elasticity even as sunlight and aging work to break it down.

In fact, Synergy recommends boosting collagen levels as early as possible, a popular approach known as “collagen banking.”

Hydrate to feel great


Keeping your skin hydrated is key to maintaining a healthy glow.

To avoid drying out in the summer sun, Synergy recommends DiamondGlow Facials: The 3-in-1 skin resurfacing treatment that uses powerful serums and exfoliation to rapidly hydrate deep below the surface.

Treatments like microneedling and hydrofacials are also effective — try a few to see which works best for you.

Set up for smoothness


Swimwear season gets so much easier when razor burn and itchy skin aren’t around.

The best time to start laser hair removal was back in February, but the second-best time is now.

Synergy’s laser removal treatments are quick, effective, and tailored to your skin type, making them a no-brainer for summer prep.

Book a session for touchably smooth results by the time you hit the pool.

Bonus Botox for new patients


To celebrate the sunny season, Synergy is also offering new patients $100 off their first Botox treatment.

The popular wrinkle-reducer is a great way to add lift and smoothness in targeted areas ahead of a wedding, family reunion, or gals’ trip.
