Summer Skin, Without the Panic
By Sonia Rishi

Thank you so much to everyone who’s been reading our weekly Journal entries - and especially to those of you who’ve shared feedback. I’m not a doctor, and I certainly don’t claim to be a writer, so hearing what feels helpful or relevant really does guide what I choose to share next.
One thing that’s come up this week? It’s time to talk about summer.
The sunshine has finally arrived - and with it, a shift in energy. Plans are forming, invitations are going out, and for many of us, there’s a renewed sense of wanting to feel good in our skin. Not in a “transformation” way - but in that familiar, quietly confident way. A little lighter, a little fresher, and more ready to enjoy whatever the season brings.
If that’s where your head is too, here are some of the treatments our team recommends most for this time of year:
Polynucleotides
One of our most regenerative treatments - particularly if you’re noticing changes in tone, texture, or elasticity. Polynucleotides aren’t fillers. They help restore - stimulating collagen production, hydration, and repair at a cellular level. Think fresher, firmer, better-supported skin - especially around the eyes, neck, and cheeks.
Wrinkle-Reduction Injections
Whether it’s from squinting in the sunshine or just daily life, a light touch of wrinkle-reduction can soften lines and create a more rested, open expression. Subtle is the goal - and our medical team are excellent at helping you achieve natural, elegant results that move with you.
Fire & Ice by iS Clinical
Our go-to pre-event facial. This is a powerful resurfacing treatment using medical-grade ingredients, designed to smooth, brighten, and wake up the skin without downtime. Safe during pregnancy and brilliant when time is tight but results matter.
And, for the absolute next-level combination, try our Hydrafacial® + Fire & Ice combination. You get the deep-cleansing, pore-refining benefits of a Hydrafacial layered with the smoothing and brightening results of Fire & Ice. Fabulous for events, holidays, or just when your skin needs a proper refresh.
Ultracel (HIFU + RF)
New to Skin & Sanctuary, Ultracel combines high-intensity focused ultrasound with radiofrequency to lift and tighten the skin - non-surgically. Results build over time, so if you’re thinking about a lift or firmer jawline before those summer events, now is the time to book a consultation with Dr Mayoni.
And just a gentle reminder...
While this post is about treatments, every single expert here would remind you: results are always better with consistent, effective skincare. That includes cleansing properly, using actives that suit your skin, and yes - wearing a good SPF daily.
Sun protection matters all year round, but in summer it’s absolutely essential. It’s the simplest, most effective way to protect your results and prevent the signs of premature ageing. So if you’re not sure where to start, just ask - we’re here to guide you, and with our super partners at Get Harley will ensure you receive the skincare for you.
If you’re curious about any of the treatments mentioned above, or just want to know what might work best for you, feel free to book a consultation or reply to this post. We’d love to help.
