Summer is the season of sunshine, selfies, and social events, but it can also be harsh on your skin. Between increased sun exposure, sweating, and travel, you might wonder how to keep your skin looking smooth, youthful, and photo-ready without undergoing anything invasive or recovery-heavy. That’s where injectables come in.
Non-surgical treatments like Botox in the summer and strategic filler combos are perfect for achieving subtle, natural results with little to no downtime. Summer skin treatments involving injectables are on the rise because they offer a quick, safe way to maintain or enhance your glow all season.
Here’s what you need to know about the best injectable combos this summer and how to do them right.
Why Injectables Are Ideal for Summer
While some cosmetic procedures (like deep peels or lasers) are best for fall or winter when sun exposure is minimal, injectables like Botox and dermal fillers can be safely done year-round.
Here are a few benefits of injectables in the summer:
- Minimal to no downtime
- Instant or near-instant results
- Easy to combine with other treatments
- No need to hide indoors for long periods post-treatment
- Help reverse or prevent sun-related aging signs
But not all combinations are created equal. To get the most out of your summer skin treatments, focus on pairings that complement each other and respect the season’s unique demands on your skin.
Summer Skin Treatments: Injectables to Consider
If you know you’d like a little refresh for your skin, here are some injectable options to think about.
1. Botox and Lip Flip
One of the top injectable combos for summer is Botox paired with a lip flip. This subtle treatment enhances the upper lip’s appearance without adding volume, making it perfect for those seeking a natural, refreshed look.
How it works: A few units of Botox are injected into the muscles above the upper lip, relaxing the area and causing the lip to gently “flip” upward, making it look fuller and more defined.
Why it’s great for summer:
- Results appear within a few days and last two to three months
- No downtime means you can get back to the beach the next day
- Pairs well with a light gloss or lip balm, no heavy makeup required
2. Botox and Under-Eye Filler
Summer often means later nights and less sleep, which can leave you looking tired, even when you feel great. If dark circles or hollowness under the eyes are your concern, consider pairing Botox in the summer with a subtle under-eye (tear trough) filler.
How it works: Botox smooths crow’s feet around the eyes, while hyaluronic acid filler under the eyes softens shadows and plumps hollow areas.
Why it’s great for summer:
- Brightens your entire face with minimal product
- Refreshes tired eyes without surgery
- Makes you look more awake in all those candid summer photos
3. Botox and Chin or Jawline Filler
Want to look snatched and defined without filters? Pairing Botox with dermal filler in the chin or jawline area can create natural-looking contour and structure, even if you wear no makeup.
How it works: Botox can slim the masseter muscles (for jaw clenching or facial slimming). The filler adds volume and structure to the chin and jawline for improved profile balance.
Why it’s great for summer:
- No need for heavy contouring products in hot, humid weather
- A sculpted jawline looks amazing in sunhats and swimwear
- Masseter Botox may also help reduce jaw tension from summer stress or travel
4. Botox and Sweating Treatments (Hyperhidrosis)
This injectable combo isn’t about aesthetics, but rather, comfort. Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, can be a nightmare in the summer. Botox is FDA-approved to treat this condition and can be injected into the underarms, palms, or even feet to block sweat glands.
How it works: Botox interrupts the chemical signals that tell sweat glands to activate, significantly reducing sweat in treated areas.
Why it’s great for summer:
- No more visible sweat stains
- Feel confident in sleeveless clothing
- Results last four to six months, just in time to get you through the hottest season
Post-Treatment Care Tips for Summer
While injectables are low-maintenance, summer does come with some extra care considerations. Here’s how to protect your results and your skin:
- Avoid direct sun exposure for 24-48 hours post-treatment. This helps reduce inflammation and bruising.
- Skip strenuous exercise and saunas for 24 hours. Heat and sweat can increase swelling or disperse the product.
- Stay upright for at least four hours after Botox. This helps prevent the migration of the product.
- Use broad-spectrum SPF It’s a must after any cosmetic treatment and helps maintain your results.
And of course, always follow the aftercare instructions provided by your injector.
