Summertime ≠ Laser Treatments
When it comes to skincare, timing can be just as important as technique — especially with laser treatments. Many clients ask us, “Can I still get laser during the summer?” and the answer isn’t always straightforward.
At Aethereal Medical Spa & Wellness, we’re all about delivering transformative results safely — and that means helping you choose the right treatments at the right time of year. So, let’s clear things up.
The Problem with Traditional
Lasers in Summer
Most traditional lasers work by targeting pigment in the skin — and that’s where summer sun can complicate things. Increased sun exposure can raise the risk of:
Hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation
Photosensitivity
Irritation or delayed healing
Because your skin may already be tanned or more vulnerable to UV damage, many providers recommend postponing certain laser treatments until fall or winter.
Meet Your Summer-Friendly
Option: Alma Opus Plasma RF
The good news? Not all skin-rejuvenation tech is off-limits during summer — and this is where Alma Opus comes in.
Unlike traditional lasers, Opus Plasma uses plasma radio-frequency technology, not light-based energy. That means:
It doesn’t target pigment, making it safer for all skin types
It creates controlled micro-injuries with minimal heat diffusion
It offers less downtime than most fractional lasers
It's more compatible with seasonal sun exposure (with proper care)
So, if you’ve been putting off skin resurfacing or texture-improving treatments because it’s summer — you don’t have to anymore!
