Smoother, Glowier Skin: The Best Med Spa Treatments to Try Before Vacation

When planning a summer vacation, it's easy to get caught up in the never-ending to-do list of tickets, packing, and pre-trip pampering. At Quinn Aesthetic Center, we offer a range of advanced med spa treatments to help you glow confidently and go makeup-free if you want to. We've created a quick guide to pre-vacation med spa treatments so your vacation-ready glow follows you from takeoff to touchdown.

HydraFacial: The Ultimate Pre-Vacation Glow

If your skin is feeling dull or congested, a HydraFacial is the perfect pre-trip pick-me-up. This multi-step treatment deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates your skin using serums tailored to your concerns.

Why it's great before vacation:

• Immediate radiance with no downtime
  
• Clears out blackheads and buildup
  
• Helps makeup (or sunscreen) sit better on your skin

We recommend scheduling your HydraFacial 3–7 days before you leave for optimal results.

Dermaplaning: Baby-Soft Skin, No Peach Fuzz

Want your skin to feel as smooth as possible before heading into the sun? Dermaplaning is a gentle exfoliation technique that removes dead skin cells and peach fuzz in one quick, effective treatment.

Why you'll love it:

• Instant smoothness and brightness
  
• Better product absorption and smoother makeup application
  
• No downtime—just glowy, polished skin

Pair dermaplaning with a HydraFacial or custom facial for next-level results.

Microneedling: For That "I Woke Up Like This" Skin

If you're planning ahead, microneedling is one of our favorite ways to improve skin texture, tone, and firmness. This collagen-stimulating treatment minimizes the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, and large pores.

When to schedule it:

• Plan this one at least 2–3 weeks before your vacation
  
• Slight redness may occur for a day or two, but the glowing results last for months

Looking for an upgrade? Ask about combining microneedling with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) for even more dramatic results.

Chemical Peels: Reveal Fresh, Clear Skin

Chemical peels are a powerful way to brighten and resurface your complexion. At Quinn Aesthetic Center, we offer light to medium-depth peels to treat dullness, sun damage, and uneven tone.

Best timing:

• Light peels: 7–10 days before travel
  
• Deeper peels: Allow 2–3 weeks for full healing

We'll help you choose the right peel based on your timeline and skin goals.

Laser Hair Removal: Ditch the Razor, Pack the Swimsuit

If smooth, stubble-free skin is on your vacation wishlist, laser hair removal is a must. Our Candela GentleMax Pro laser treats all skin types and offers fast, effective hair reduction with minimal discomfort.

Planning tip:

• Start treatments a few months before your trip for best results
  
• Avoid sun exposure immediately before and after treatments

Ask about our packages if you're prepping for a tropical getaway or planning multiple trips this year.

Injectables: Subtle Enhancements Before You Jet-Set

A touch of Botox, Xeomin, or Dysport can soften lines and give your face a rested, refreshed appearance—perfect before a vacation or special event.

What to know:

• Botox takes about 14 days to reach optimal results
• Filler results are instant but may involve mild swelling or bruising

Schedule these treatments at least a week before takeoff to give your skin time to settle.
