From Anna: Your Summer Beauty Guide to Glowing Skin & Self-Care
As the founder of Synergy Face + Body, I’ve always believed that true beauty begins with intention. The summer season brings more than just sunshine—it’s an opportunity to embrace regenerative skincare, practice mindful self-care, and reconnect with the Synergy community. Whether you’re planning a vacation, attending a special event, or simply soaking up the season, here’s how I recommend getting your skin—and spirit—summer-ready.
Regenerative Beauty: Why I Love Sculptra for Summer Prep
If your goal is radiant, youthful-looking skin that lasts, Sculptra is one of the most effective treatments we offer. Unlike traditional fillers that provide instant volume, Sculptra works gradually by stimulating your body’s own collagen production. Over time, it helps restore facial volume, improve skin texture, and support a firmer, more luminous appearance that looks completely natural.
It’s especially ideal in the summer months when minimal downtime is preferred. You won’t walk out looking “done”—just refreshed. Results develop subtly and beautifully over several weeks, making it perfect for those with upcoming weddings, vacations, or reunions.
We offer Sculptra at all Synergy Face + Body locations across Raleigh, NC and Richmond, VA. It has quickly become a top patient favorite for its elegant, long-lasting results. If you’re curious whether it’s right for you, we’d love to schedule a personalized consult.
Sun Protection That Works: My Summer SPF Must-Haves
Longer days mean more UV exposure, which makes sunscreen an everyday essential—not just for preventing sunburn, but for preserving your skin’s tone, texture, and youthful resilience. Sun exposure is the #1 external factor in skin aging, and protecting your investment—especially after treatments like laser resurfacing or microneedling—is non-negotiable.
At Synergy, we only stock medical-grade sun protection that performs. Here are two of my all-time favorites that I personally use and recommend to patients:
– Great for acne-prone or sensitive skin
– Oil-free and fragrance-free
– Works under makeup or alone for everyday defense
Revision Intellishade® TruPhysical SPF 45
– Broad-spectrum mineral SPF
– Anti-aging moisturizer with a sheer, tinted finish
– Formulated with peptides and antioxidants to protect and correct
– Hydrates while visibly improving the appearance of fine lines and skin tone for a healthy, luminous glow
Celebrate with Us: Summer Spritz Event at Synergy
One of the highlights of our year is our Summer Spritz Event, and this year, I’m thrilled to welcome our community to celebrate together.
I’ll be hosting at our Inside the Beltline, North Carolina location, and Dr. Travis Shaw will be welcoming guests at Synergy in Midlothian, Virginia. Get ready for a luxurious, laid-back evening inspired by the beauty of the Italian summer.
Here’s what to expect:
– Aperol Spritzes, artisan gelato, and tasty light bites
– Live treatment demos and provider mini-consults
– Exclusive one-night-only savings on Synergy favorites
– Skincare bundles, raffles, and interactive stations
It’s a perfect opportunity to bring a friend, explore our latest services, and enjoy a warm, welcoming evening with the Synergy team.
My Summer Beauty Tip: Start Your Seasonal Prep Early
If you have vacation plans, weddings, or reunions this season, now is the perfect time to schedule the treatments that will help you feel confident and glowing.
Planning ahead allows your results to fully settle and look their best when it matters most.
Cheers,
