5 Summer-Friendly Treatments: Diamond Glow Treatment, Glacial RX, & More!

Not all aesthetic treatments are summer-friendly, but fortunately, several are. In this post, we cover five summer-friendly aesthetic treatments, including Glacial RX, Sofwave, Moxi, Vivace Ultra, and DiamondGlow treatments. We’ll also discuss what treatments aren’t suitable for summer, like lasers.

During the summer, skin care is essential to ensure our skin remains clear, healthy, and glowing. However, not all skin treatments play well with summer. Sun exposure can increase your risk of irritation, hyperpigmentation, and even compromise your results, especially after more aggressive laser procedures that are best left for the winter months. But that doesn’t mean you have to put your glow goals on pause just because the temperatures rise and the sun is out more regularly.

Whether you’re prepping for vacation, recovering from one too many beach days, or simply want to keep your skin looking fresh despite the heat and humidity, there are options that work with your lifestyle.

We turn to Houston-based Aesthetician Mindy Goecke to discuss five of our favorite summer-friendly treatments that deliver real results without risking sun sensitivity or needing weeks of downtime.

Top 5 Summer-friendly Aesthetic Treatments

At DermaTouch RN, we’re all about smart, seasonally aligned skin care—and that includes knowing which treatments are safe and effective during the summer months.

According to Goecke, here are five summer-friendly treatments:

DiamondGlow: An instant-glow facial that exfoliates, extracts, and infuses, all in one session
Glacial RX: A revolutionary cooling treatment that soothes inflammation and brightens skin without heat or irritation
Sofwave: Ultrasound-based skin tightening that firms and lifts—no heat damage, no peeling, no downtime
Moxi: A light, “prejuvenation” laser that’s safe for all skin tones—even in summer
Vivace Ultra: A next-gen RF microneedling treatment that boosts collagen with precision and no photosensitivity

These treatments are not only summer-safe—they’re summer-smart. Think of them as your skin’s secret weapon for staying confident, radiant, and protected all season long. Let’s explore what makes each of these treatments ideal for the warmest time of year.

DiamondGlow Treatment – The Facial that Goes Beyond the Surface

“If you have congested skin and clogged pores from things like reapplying SPF in the summer, the DiamondGlow can help exfoliate that SPF and other ingredients away,” shares Goecke.

A DiamondGlow treatment isn’t your typical facial, it’s a next-level skin treatment designed to refresh and rejuvenate from the inside out. Using a patented diamond-tip wand, this advanced technology exfoliates away dull, dry skin while simultaneously extracting impurities and infusing nourishing serums tailored to your unique skin needs.

The result? A deep, radiant clean and a glow you can see and feel immediately. Unlike traditional facials, DiamondGlow goes beyond surface-level results by delivering active ingredients where your skin needs them most. Whether you’re looking to smooth texture, brighten tone, or minimize fine lines, this treatment leaves your skin plump, hydrated, and luminous—with no downtime required.

Glacial Rx: Cooling Innovation for Brighter, Healthier Skin

“With the humidity and heat during the summer, especially in areas like Houston, it’s nice to have treatment options that help to cool down your skin,” shares Goecke, “The Glacial RX is a cooling facial treatment that helps with inflammation of the skin.”

Glacial Rx is the first and only treatment to harness Cryomodulation, using cold to fight inflammation and rejuvenate skin. By gently cooling the skin’s surface, Glacial Rx helps reduce redness, brighten tone, and diminish age spots and sun damage, all while soothing the skin for a comfortable, refreshing experience.

Unlike harsher procedures, Glacial Rx delivers noticeable results without downtime. It’s an ideal choice if you’re looking to calm irritation, improve clarity, and achieve a more even, radiant complexion with a treatment that feels as good as it looks.

Sofwave: Advanced Ultrasound for Skin Lifting and Tightening

“After you lose weight or experience sagging skin from aging, a Sofwave treatment is ideal to lift and tighten the skin at any time throughout the year,” shares Goecke.

Sofwave is a breakthrough non-invasive skin treatment that uses next-generation ultrasound technology to lift, tighten, and smooth the skin. By targeting the mid-dermal layers, Sofwave stimulates collagen production to naturally reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging—without needles, surgery, or lengthy downtime.

Comfortable, quick, and effective, Sofwave delivers noticeable improvements in firmness and elasticity while keeping you looking natural. It’s an ideal option for anyone seeking a subtle lift and refreshed appearance with results that continue to build over time.

Moxi: Gentle Laser Resurfacing for a Radiant Glow

According to Goecke, two more treatments that are summer-friendly include the Moxi and Vivace Ultra treatments. “They come with minimal downtime, and with good sun protection, they people can safely be treated with them in the summer.”

Moxi is the perfect entry-level laser treatment for anyone ready to refresh and revitalize their skin with little to no downtime. Using non-ablative laser energy, Moxi targets early signs of sun damage, uneven skin tone, and rough texture—stimulating your skin’s natural repair process from within.

The result is smoother, brighter, more youthful-looking skin that continues to improve over time. Safe for all skin types and customizable to your lifestyle, Moxi is a year-round solution for maintaining healthy, glowing skin without disrupting your routine.

Vivace Ultra: Next-Level Microneedling with Radiofrequency

“Vivace Ultra treatments are tailored to each individual’s needs,” shares Goecke, “There is little to no downtime, and when you follow post-treatment care – including using sunscreen – it can be a safe treatment during the summer.”

Vivace Ultra combines the collagen-stimulating power of microneedling with radiofrequency energy to deliver skin tightening and rejuvenation that goes deeper than traditional treatments. This advanced technology not only smooths fine lines and wrinkles but also improves tone, texture, and firmness—all with minimal downtime.

What makes Vivace Ultra unique is its precision and comfort. The device adapts to your skin’s needs in real time, ensuring every treatment is tailored for maximum results. The outcome is a firmer, brighter, and more youthful-looking complexion that continues to improve as your skin naturally produces new collagen.

What Treatments Aren’t Good for the Summer Months?

Any aesthetic treatment, like many lasers, that leave the skin exposed and more sensitive to sunlight and warm temperatures, are typically recommended for winter months vs. summer months. Here is why:

Many laser treatments make the skin more sensitive to sunlight, which increases the risk of sunburn and other complications. The additional clothing and lower UV exposure that is common for winter make that time of year more conducive to these kinds of treatments.
Since the winter months tend to have cooler temperatures, it can help lessen discomfort from the temporary swelling, redness, and discomfort that come with laser treatments.
People tend to have fewer outdoor activities going on in the winter than in the summer.
Many lasers require you to avoid sun exposure two weeks before and at least two weeks following treatment, which tends to be easier to do in the winter.
Many like to maintain a tan in the summer, and lasers tend to work best on skin that is natural and not tanned – whether that’s from the sun or from self-tanner.
