Summer Skin Prep: The Top Treatments to Start in May

(Your Glow Game Plan with Colorado Beauty RN)

Summer is almost here—and while you're dusting off your favorite sunglasses and sundresses, your skin might still be shaking off the dullness of winter.

At Colorado Beauty RN, we believe beautiful, confident skin isn't about perfection—it's about preparation. Especially as we head into sunny days, vacations, and backyard barbecues, it's the perfect time to get proactive about your glow.

If you're ready to feel smoother, brighter, and naturally radiant (without the panic of a last-minute fix), we’re here to guide you.
Here’s your ultimate summer skin prep plan—the top treatments you should start now to glow confidently into the season.

Why May is the Perfect Time to Start

First, let’s address why May is your golden window:

✅ The weather is warming, but UV exposure hasn’t peaked yet—meaning safer healing and better results from treatments.
✅ Starting now gives you time for multiple sessions if needed (some treatments build results over weeks, not overnight).
✅ Events, vacations, and outdoor time ramp up fast in June—you want your skin ready before the calendar fills up.
✅ Treatments like microneedling, resurfacing, and pigmentation correction work best when you're not constantly in direct sunlight.

Translation:
The sooner you prep, the smoother your summer will feel. (Literally and figuratively!)

 Treatment #1: Glacial Rx – Cool Your Glow

If you've been looking for a skin treatment that's effective and gentle enough for the transition into summer, meet your new best friend: Glacial Rx.

Think of Glacial Rx as your secret weapon for tackling stubborn pigmentation, sunspots, redness, and uneven skin tone—all without the downtime or irritation that typically comes with more aggressive treatments.

Where many traditional skin treatments rely on heat (like lasers or chemical peels) to stimulate repair, Glacial Rx flips the script with precision cooling technology. Instead of inflaming your skin to trigger healing, it calms it—allowing for deep brightening, lightening, and rejuvenation without unnecessary stress on your skin barrier.

🧬 What is Glacial Rx?

Glacial Rx is the first and only FDA-cleared device that uses Cryomodulation™—a revolutionary cooling method that safely reduces inflammation, corrects sun damage, and improves pigmentation at the source.

The treatment delivers a controlled cooling effect to targeted areas of the skin, which triggers a natural exfoliation process while calming redness and irritation. Over time, skin appears clearer, brighter, smoother, and more even-toned—with little to no downtime.

You can also pair Glacial Rx with other treatments for even more powerful results—it's versatile, gentle, and highly customizable based on your skin needs.

☀️ Why It’s Perfect for May

May is a critical transition month for your skin. You’re emerging from months of cold, dry weather, but the peak UV intensity of summer hasn't fully hit yet. It’s the perfect moment to "reset" and protect your skin heading into the heat and sun.

Here’s why Glacial Rx shines right now:

✅ Minimal Downtime = Maximum Flexibility:
Glacial Rx requires little to no downtime, meaning you can return to normal life—and sunny activities—immediately. You won’t need to worry about hiding inside for days to recover.

✅ Correct and Protect Pigmentation:
As UV exposure increases through the summer, pigmentation issues often worsen. Glacial Rx helps to correct existing pigmentation and build resilience against future discoloration just in time to enjoy the sunshine (safely, with SPF, of course!).

✅ Incredible Relief for Post-Winter Skin:
After enduring Colorado’s dry, harsh winter, your skin craves hydration, calm, and renewal. The cooling technology of Glacial Rx doesn’t just treat skin issues—it feels amazing during the process, helping to deeply refresh your skin's moisture balance and vitality.

✅ Safe for a Range of Skin Types:
Because it doesn’t rely on heat or aggressive resurfacing, Glacial Rx is safe for many skin tones and sensitivities, making it a fantastic option if you’re cautious about more intensive summer treatments.

✨Treatment #2: Ultimate Laser Resurfacing – Reset Your Skin's Canvas

After a long season of cold, dry Colorado air, your skin deserves more than just a moisturizer—it deserves a full reset.
That’s exactly what our Ultimate Laser Resurfacing treatment delivers: deep renewal with natural-looking, noticeable results that help your skin not only recover—but truly thrive.

If you’re ready to step into summer with a complexion that looks refreshed, vibrant, and effortlessly smooth, this is your go-to treatment.

🧬 What is Ultimate Laser Resurfacing?

Ultimate Laser Resurfacing is a cutting-edge, clinically proven treatment that uses fractionated laser energy to gently remove the outer layers of damaged skin. As the laser creates controlled micro-injuries, it triggers your body’s natural healing process, stimulating new collagen and elastin production deep within the skin.

This two-pronged approach—removing old skin and rebuilding stronger skin underneath—results in:

✨ Smoother texture
✨ Brighter, more even tone
✨ Minimized fine lines and wrinkles
✨ Reduced pore size
✨ Faded sunspots and pigmentation irregularities

Think of it like hitting "refresh" on your skin—creating a fresh, flawless canvas that makeup glides over (or better yet, skin that looks so good you don’t feel like you need any at all).

And because we customize every treatment based on your skin type, tone, and goals, you’ll get results that are beautifully natural, never overdone.

☀️ Why It’s Perfect for May

May is a pivotal month for setting yourself up for summer success—and that’s especially true when it comes to your skin.

Here’s why starting your resurfacing journey in May is a smart move:

✅ Correct Winter Damage:
Months of indoor heating, cold winds, and low humidity leave behind dehydration, roughness, and pigmentation. Laser resurfacing clears away that damaged top layer, revealing the healthier, newer skin underneath.

✅ Time to Heal and Glow:
Laser resurfacing results unfold beautifully over 6–8 weeks, meaning your skin will keep improving through June and July. Starting in May gives you enough time to heal properly and show up to summer events with your most radiant complexion.

✅ Lower Risk of Sun Complications:
While sun protection is always a must, early summer (before peak UV exposure in July/August) is an ideal time to heal from a resurfacing procedure safely with diligent SPF and aftercare.

✅ Smoother, Younger-Looking Summer Skin:
Your summer wardrobe calls for glowy, confident skin—not skin you're trying to cover up with makeup. Laser resurfacing helps you put your best face forward naturally.

🎯 Who It’s Ideal For

Our Ultimate Laser Resurfacing treatment is perfect if you’re looking to:

• Soften fine lines and wrinkles
  
  

• Minimize large pores
  
  

• Improve uneven tone or texture
  
  

• Fade sun damage and age spots
  
  

• Restore a fresh, youthful glow
  
  

Whether you’re prepping for a big summer wedding, planning for lots of beach selfies, or just want to feel like the best version of yourself for everyday life—this treatment fits beautifully into your May beauty plan.

💡 Helpful Hint

👉 If you have an event coming up in late June, July, or early August (think weddings, vacations, reunions, or milestone birthdays), now is the time to start resurfacing treatments.

Give your skin the time it needs to heal, rebuild, and glow—so by the time your big moment arrives, your complexion looks radiant, photo-ready, and effortlessly refreshed.

Trust us: your future self will be so glad you started early.

✨ Treatment #3: Microneedling – Boost Your Natural Radiance

If you're noticing that your skin feels a little rougher, duller, or you’re catching a few more fine lines than you’d like in the mirror, it’s not your imagination—and you’re not alone.

Changes in texture, tone, and firmness naturally happen over time, especially after months of dry, cold Colorado weather.
The good news? Microneedling offers one of the safest, most effective ways to wake up your skin’s natural healing process—leaving you with a fresher, smoother, more radiant complexion without aggressive treatments or long downtime.

At Colorado Beauty RN, we use medical-grade microneedling devices to precisely stimulate your skin’s own repair system—giving you real, natural results.

🧬 What is Microneedling?

Microneedling, sometimes called collagen induction therapy, uses ultra-fine, medical-grade needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the surface of your skin.

This process sounds a little intimidating—but don’t worry, it’s quick, minimally uncomfortable, and extremely safe when performed by our trained professionals.

Here’s what happens under the surface:

• Your skin recognizes the tiny microchannels and triggers a natural healing response.
  
  

• New collagen and elastin production kicks in over the next 4–6 weeks.
  
  

• Your skin becomes smoother, tighter, brighter, and more even-toned over time.
  
  

• Skincare products can penetrate deeper, making your homecare routine even more effective.
  
  

The best part? Results are natural and build gradually—giving you a fresher, younger appearance without looking “overdone.”

☀️ Why It’s Perfect for May

May is the perfect time to begin microneedling treatments if you want to look (and feel) your absolute best by summer:

✅ Collagen Building Season:
When you start in May, your skin has plenty of time to heal and rebuild, so by June and July, you’re seeing a real difference—firmer texture, brighter tone, and softer fine lines.

✅ Minimal Downtime:
Unlike more aggressive resurfacing treatments, microneedling typically only causes light redness for 1–2 days. You can go back to most normal activities quickly—and still keep up with your spring and early summer plans.

✅ Pairs Beautifully with Other Treatments:
Microneedling can be stacked with services like Glacial Rx for even greater results.
While microneedling stimulates collagen renewal, Glacial Rx calms inflammation and treats pigmentation—giving you a comprehensive skin transformation just in time for the sunny season.

✅ Prep Your Skin for a Makeup-Free Summer:
Let’s be honest: no one wants to pile on heavy foundation in the heat.
Microneedling helps you achieve that "I woke up like this" glow, so you can feel confident with lighter, natural makeup (or none at all!) all summer long.

🎯 Who It’s Ideal For

Microneedling is an incredible option if you're looking to:

• Improve overall skin tone and smoothness
  
  

• Minimize acne scars or surface-level scarring
  
  

• Reduce pore size
  
  

• Tighten slightly lax or crepey skin
  
  

• Brighten dull, tired-looking skin
  
  

• Fade fine lines and early signs of aging
  
  

If you've been wanting a treatment that revives your skin without a long recovery, microneedling might be your perfect fit.

It’s especially loved by women who want real results but still value natural-looking, “you but refreshed” outcomes.

💡 Helpful Hint

👉 Consistency counts.
While you’ll notice improvement after just one treatment, a series of 3–4 microneedling sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart can dramatically boost your skin’s firmness, brightness, and texture.

Starting in May gives you the perfect window to complete a full series by late summer or early fall—meaning you’ll ride that gorgeous glow straight through to holiday season too!

✨ Don’t Forget: Protect Your Investment with SPF

No matter which treatments you choose, your results depend heavily on good sun protection.

In fact, sunscreen isn’t optional—it’s your skin’s most powerful anti-aging tool.

At Colorado Beauty RN, we offer medical-grade sunscreens that not only protect but also enhance your skin health, including:

• SkinCeuticals Daily Brightening Sunscreen: Lightweight, hydrating, brightening, and perfect under makeup.
  
  

• Noon Brush & Go: An on-the-go SPF you can dust over your skin and reapply easily—perfect for golf days, pool parties, and patio brunches.
  
  

Even better?

This is your last chance to stock up and set your skin up for success all summer long.
