Doctors, Thales Bretas and Lucho Montellano give tips on how to take care of yourself in the summer

With the arrival of the new year and summer, the desire for renewal also includes a change in appearance to increase self-esteem. With this in mind, we listened to the opinions of two experts in the aesthetic sector, to find out about the latest in techniques and procedures for personal care, as well as preventive actions that help in everyday life.

The plastic surgeon, Lucho Montellanowho works with Emface Neo and Transform X, two innovative, non-invasive technologies that are revolutionizing the global aesthetics market without pain, needles or scalpels, which promise incredible results without modifying the patient’s face or body, explained about how they work.

Emface Neo is the first technology in the world that simultaneously treats the muscles and skin of the face, stimulating the production of collagen, firmness, symmetry and rejuvenation of the face, something that is not possible to achieve even with injectables. Transform X is a synergy of two wonderful technologies: muscle contraction and radiofrequency. One tones the muscle, and the other kills fat cells, producing visible results in each session.

“These technologies are aimed at those looking for satisfactory results without surgical interventions or the use of fillers, which cause deformations in the face and body. They convert muscle, burn fat and stimulate collagen production, reaching the three layers: skin, fat and muscle.”explained Lucho.

Now the doctor Thales Bretasdermatologist, warned about exposure to high temperatures.

“The use of sunscreen is essential at all times, but especially in summer. The ideal is to use protectors with a sun protection factor (SPF) above 30. It is also important to choose the right texture for your skin type. If it is very oily, opt for products with a mattifying effect, which control oiliness and are lighter and more fluid. If your skin is drier, you can choose creamier products and wear makeup. The physical filter, which is the one with color, also protects against visible light, which is an advantage.”he said.

He continued: “The ideal is to always apply it in the morning, before going out, and if you are going to a program in the exposed sun, you should reapply it every two hours. Every time you dive into the water or sweat a lot, the ideal is to reapply. Avoid sunbathing between the hours of 10 am and 4 pm, and if it is necessary to expose yourself during this period, apply sunscreen to your entire body, not just your face. It has to be on your face, neck, chest, and also protect your scalp — especially for those who have hair loss — go behind the ears and leave no area unprotected.”
