With summer events like weddings, vacations and parties on the horizon, we all want to look and feel our best in our natural beauty.
That’s why we’ve created this guide to help you prepare from head to toe. We’ll walk you through advanced treatments like PRP for hair, microneedling and skin tightening for your face, and body contouring for a summer body that you feel comfortable in.
With Delta Laser, get summer ready, feeling your best for every occasion.
Let’s get started.
Hair-related concerns can be uncomfortable, whether it’s dealing with overgrowth in unwanted areas like armpits or the pubic region or facing hair loss on the scalp.
During the summer, these concerns often become more noticeable. Wearing lighter, more minimal clothing, attending social events, hitting the beach, and engaging in outdoor activities can make unwanted hair more prominent. Additionally, popular hairstyles like ponytails, braids or updos can highlight hair thinning or loss.
These feelings can affect how much you enjoy these moments.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) offers a safe and effective way to enhance hair growth and thickness, helping to restore confidence. Laser Hair Removal (LHR), on the other hand, provides a long-term solution for reducing unwanted hair in specific areas, giving you lasting results.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is an advanced treatment that uses your body’s natural healing processes to promote hair growth.
Additionally, PRP therapy can be used for skin rejuvenation, providing a versatile solution for enhancing both hair and skin health.
Here’s how it works: A small sample of your blood is drawn and then processed to separate the platelets, which are rich in growth factors. These concentrated platelets are then injected into the targeted areas of the scalp. This process helps to revitalise dormant hair follicles and promote the growth of new, healthy hair strands.
The procedure involves minimal downtime, allowing you to quickly return to your regular activities. Following post-treatment care instructions is crucial to achieving the best results.
Note that results aren’t immediate. While individual experiences can vary, most begin to see improvements in hair growth within a few months of treatment.
Laser hair removal is a popular cosmetic procedure that uses concentrated beams of laser energy to eliminate unwanted hair. The process involves targeting the melanin (pigment) in hair follicles, which absorbs the light and converts it into heat. This heat effectively weakens the hair follicle without damaging the surrounding skin.
Laser hair removal is a long-term solution that significantly reduces hair growth. Additionally, it helps decrease the occurrence of ingrown hairs, leaving the skin smoother and with a more even texture.
While factors like skin sensitivity, hair color and potential side effects, such as temporary redness or swelling, need to be considered, laser hair removal is safe and effective for various skin and hair types. Its versatility and effectiveness make it in high demand.

During the colder months, we can comfortably hide behind layers of clothing and scarves. However, when summer arrives, we shed those layers, and our faces take center stage.
This can be uncomfortable, particularly if dealing with skin issues like acne scars or uneven skin tone. These concerns can lead to self-consciousness during summer activities or social events with friends.
Microneedling could be just the solution you need.
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that rejuvenates the skin by creating controlled micro-injuries using a device with tiny needles.
This process stimulates the skin’s natural healing response, boosting collagen production and enhancing skin texture and tone.
Microneedling promotes collagen production, which helps diminish fine lines and wrinkles over time. It also enhances skin texture and tone, resulting in smoother, more even-looking skin. Additionally, microneedling reduces the appearance of scars and pigmentation, leading to a clearer complexion.
The microneedling treatment process begins with a consultation to evaluate your skin and discuss your desired outcomes.
During the procedure, the sensation can be described as prickling, which is why a topical anaesthetic is applied to minimise discomfort.
After treatment, your skin might appear red or swollen, like a mild sunburn, but this usually resolves within a day or two.
Results typically become noticeable within a few weeks as collagen production increases.
Sagging, fine lines and/or wrinkles become more apparent during the summer when more skin is on display. Skin tightening treatments can address these concerns, helping to restore firmness and smoothness to your skin.
Two excellent examples are Morpheus8 and Ultherapy.
(Microneedling vs Morpheus8)
Morpheus8 is a modern, non-invasive cosmetic procedure that combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to tighten the skin in loose areas. This treatment uses a device with tiny needles to deliver controlled heat deep into the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production.
As a result, Morpheus8 improves skin texture, tone and firmness.
One of Morpheus8’s primary benefits is its minimal downtime, making it convenient if you prefer not to disrupt your regular activities. It targets multiple body areas and can yield long-lasting results with proper maintenance.
Typical areas treated with Morpheus8 include the neck, abdomen, arms and thighs, where it diminishes the appearance of sagging and other signs of aging.
Ultherapy is another non-invasive skin tightening procedure. However, it uses focused ultrasound energy to target deeper skin layers and stimulate collagen production. This treatment is Health Canada-approved to “lift and tighten” loose skin.
Common areas treated with Ultherapy include the face, neck, and décolletage where it reduces the appearance of wrinkles, sagging and other signs of aging.
Ultherapy is an effective solution for achieving a more youthful skin appearance without the need for invasive surgery.
Sometimes, despite our best efforts with diet and exercise, stubborn fat may persist.
Body contouring procedures, such as CoolSculpting, offer an effective solution to this problem.

CoolSculpting is a revolutionary, non-invasive body contouring procedure designed to sculpt your body by targeting stubborn fat deposits.
During the treatment, a specialised device precisely cools the targeted areas, effectively freezing and destroying fat cells without harming surrounding tissues. The body naturally eliminates these damaged cells as time passes, resulting in a more sculpted and contoured appearance.
One remarkable aspect of CoolSculpting is its customisability, which allows for precise targeting of problem areas such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs and upper arms. This personalised approach helps you to achieve your specific aesthetic goals effectively.
CoolSculpting offers an effective, non-surgical solution for refining body shape and achieving a more sculpted physique.
