As temperatures rise, summer skincare is all about protection, hydration, and maintaining a healthy glow. Josie Barnard, PA-C at Skin Pharm Houston, says, “One of my favorite combination treatments is microneedling with PRP paired with Botox or Dysport. This duo smooths fine lines, improves skin texture, and delivers a refreshed appearance.” She also uses Botox or Dysport to treat underarm hyperhidrosis, which she says “can be a game changer during the warmer months.” Barnard also recommends Skinvive, an injectable moisturizer that helps skin retain moisture from within for deep hydration. She emphasizes that daily sunscreen and a consistent routine are essential all summer.

Sculptra
Sculptra is an injectable that helps the skin naturally boost collagen over time, working to smooth, firm, and refresh the appearance. It targets volume loss in areas like the cheeks, temples, and chin, with results lasting up to two years. For best results, 2–4 injection sessions or 3–4 microneedling treatments are recommended, spaced every 4–6 weeks.
Botox & Dysport
Botox and Dysport are injectables used to relax lines and wrinkles, helping to soften expression lines for a more refreshed look. These treatments use naturally occurring proteins to ease stiff muscles and smooth the skin within days. They’re performed by board-certified providers who focus on a natural appearance. For lasting results, treatments are typically recommended every 3–4 months.
Filler
Filler is used to subtly smooth fine lines and restore volume in areas that have lost fullness over time. It offers instant results with minimal downtime and uses ingredients like hyaluronic acid to help lift and contour the face. Treatments are performed by board-certified providers who focus on natural-looking results. For best outcomes, maintenance is typically recommended every 6–12 months.
Skinvive
This hyaluronic acid skin booster is designed to treat dullness and fine lines while improving hydration for a lasting glow. It’s injected as microdroplets to boost collagen, increase moisture, and soften the skin. It’s ideal for improving skin laxity, smoothing fine lines, and enhancing radiance. Results are typically visible within four weeks and can last up to six months. Treatments are recommended every six months. skinpharm.com
