What Your Aesthetic Providers Wish You Knew

Summer in Ontario means sunshine, patios, beach days and cottage weekends — but it’s also the season when your skin faces its biggest challenges.

At London Plastic Surgery & Advanced Aesthetics, one thing we wish every patient understood is this: sun damage happens faster than you think — and often before you can even see it.

UV exposure is one of the leading causes of premature aging, pigmentation, redness and collagen breakdown. Even on cloudy days, UV rays penetrate the skin, contributing to long-term damage that can show up years later as wrinkles, brown spots and uneven texture.

That’s why daily SPF isn’t optional — it’s essential. We recommend broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every single day, along with hats, sunglasses, and reapplication when outdoors.

Want to know what’s really happening beneath your skin? Our VISIA® Skin Analysis system allows us to see sun damage, pigmentation, vascular redness, pores and skin age before it becomes visible on the surface. Many patients are shocked to discover hidden UV damage they didn’t know existed.

The good news? Summer can still be skin-friendly with the right treatments.

HydraFacial® is one of our favourite summer treatments because it deeply cleanses, exfoliates, hydrates and refreshes the skin with no downtime. It’s perfect before weddings, vacations or special events when you want that healthy summer glow.

For patients wanting prevention and correction, MOXI® laser treatments are another summer favourite. MOXI is a gentle laser designed to improve early sun damage, pigmentation, texture and overall skin tone with minimal downtime, making it ideal for maintaining healthy skin year-round.

This summer, don’t forget about your skin while enjoying the season. Healthy skin isn’t just about looking good — it’s about protecting your skin for the future.

Your future skin will thank you.
