📝 Personal Note from Mesglo
If you’ve ever wondered whether summer is the “wrong” time to get aesthetic treatments, you’re not alone. It’s one of the most common concerns we hear from clients — and as clinicians, we totally understand why. You’re heading off on holiday, the sun is stronger, you’re out and about more — and the last thing you want is to feel like you’re compromising your skin or your results.
But here’s the good news: you don’t need to pause your injectable plans just because it’s warm out. What you do need is expert advice, the right timing, and a practitioner who understands how to adapt treatments for summer lifestyles.
At Mesglo, we’re not just here to treat — we’re here to partner with you long-term. That means guiding you on the when, the what, and the how — especially around holidays, big events, and skincare changes. We wrote this guide to answer your summer injectables questions honestly, to bust myths, and to show you how to keep glowing with confidence no matter the season.
Because your skin doesn’t take a break when the sun comes out — and neither should your self-care.
We hope this guide makes you feel more prepared, more empowered, and more in control of your beauty choices this summer. And if you’re ever unsure, you know where to find us — ready to help, with a chilled glass of water and all the clarity you need.
With warmth and care,

Yes, You Can Have Injectables in Summer
Whether it’s anti-wrinkle injections, dermal fillers, polynucleotides, skin boosters, or biostimulatory injectables like exosomes — all are safe to receive in summer as long as you follow professional aftercare.
In fact, summer is a popular time for:
- Pre-holiday facial refreshers
- Weddings and event prep
- Annual aesthetic maintenance before photos and sun exposure
But there are a few seasonal considerations to keep in mind — not to avoid injectables, but to time them wisely.
What to Watch For: Summer-Specific Considerations
1. Sun Exposure and UV Sensitivity
Freshly injected skin is more vulnerable to UV damage and pigmentation, especially when:
- Treated near the surface (e.g. skin boosters, tear troughs)
- Bruising occurs
- You’ve had chemical peels or microneedling alongside injectables
Expert tip: Avoid direct sun exposure for 48–72 hours post-treatment, and wear SPF 50 daily.
2. Heat and Swelling
Hot weather, saunas, steam rooms, and long-haul flights can increase swelling, particularly in areas like:
- Lips
- Under-eyes
- Jawline (if masseter Botox or filler was used)
Solution: Stay cool, well-hydrated, and avoid heat exposure for at least 24–48 hours after your treatment.
3. Timing Around Holidays
If you’re heading away:
- Book your appointment at least 7–10 days before your trip
- Avoid injectable treatments within 48 hours of flying to reduce swelling risk
- Don’t schedule filler if you’ll be sunbathing heavily the next day
We advise clients to plan in advance, especially during summer peak months.

What to Avoid After Injectables in Summer
🚫 Direct sunlight (first 72 hours)
🚫 Saunas, steam rooms, hot tubs
🚫 Strenuous exercise for 24–48 hours
🚫 Swimming pools if you’ve had puncture-point injections (e.g. mesotherapy)
Following these guidelines helps reduce the chance of swelling, bruising, pigmentation, or infection.
Summer Aftercare Essentials
✔️ Apply cool compresses gently if swelling occurs
✔️ Use high-factor SPF and reapply every 2 hours outdoors
✔️ Stay hydrated and avoid alcohol for 24 hours
✔️ Avoid touching or massaging treated areas
✔️ Pack mineral SPF and arnica cream if travelling
Your Mesglo practitioner will give you personalised aftercare instructions based on your treatment and plans.
Common Myths About Summer Injectables
Myth: You can’t have Botox or filler in the summer.
✅ Truth: You can — just plan around the sun and heat.
Myth: Injectables melt in hot climates.
✅ Truth: Hyaluronic acid is stable once integrated — temperature doesn’t “melt” your results.
Myth: Skin treatments are only for winter.
✅ Truth: Some peels and lasers are sun-sensitive, but injectables like Botox, Lumi Eyes, and polynucleotides are summer-safe.
Expert Tip: Think Ahead for Peak Season
At Mesglo, we encourage clients to book at least 1–2 weeks before key summer events. Whether it’s a destination wedding, a festival, or a beach holiday, timing your treatments helps ensure:
- Minimal swelling or bruising
- Beautiful results by the time you travel
- Enough flexibility for top-ups or combination treatments
