School Pickup Season Is Almost Here, It's Time for Your Glow-Up

August marks a season of transition. The kids are heading back to school, schedules are shifting, and for many parents, summer has been all about everyone else. Now is the perfect time to pause and prioritize your own well-being. Whether you are a busy mom juggling drop-offs or a working parent adjusting to the fall routine, your skin deserves care, too.

At Ultimate Image Cosmetic Medical Center, we believe self-care is not selfish. It is essential. Here are the top treatments we recommend for glowing into the school year feeling confident, refreshed, and ready to take on everything ahead.

1. Hydrafacial: Deep Clean and Hydrate in One Visit

Summer often leaves skin congested and dehydrated, especially in Florida’s humid climate. Hydrafacial is a gentle, no-downtime treatment that combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration, and antioxidant protection.

This is a perfect option for parents who need maximum results in minimum time. You can walk in during a lunch break and leave with smoother, brighter skin.

Best for: dullness, clogged pores, dry or oily skin

Treatment time: about 45 minutes

Downtime: none

2. Botox or Dysport: Soften Fine Lines From Summer Squinting

Months of sun exposure can lead to increased crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines. A quick Botox or Dysport treatment can relax the muscles responsible for those wrinkles, giving you a more refreshed and well-rested look.

With results appearing within a few days and lasting several months, this is a low-maintenance way to boost your appearance during a busy time of year.

Best for: forehead lines, frown lines, crow’s feet

Treatment time: 10 to 15 minutes

Downtime: none, but avoid strenuous activity for 24 hours

3. Medical-Grade Chemical Peel: Reset Summer-Damaged Skin

If your skin is feeling uneven, rough, or sun-damaged after the summer, a chemical peel can help resurface the skin and restore clarity. Our providers customize each peel based on your skin type and concerns.

August is an ideal time to start a peel series before fall. You will notice clearer, brighter skin with improved texture and tone.

Best for: sun damage, pigmentation, fine lines, acne

Treatment time: 30 to 45 minutes

Downtime: light peeling may occur depending on the strength of the peel

4. Laser Hair Removal: Smooth Skin for the School Year and Beyond

August is a smart time to begin your laser hair removal treatments. With reduced sun exposure in the coming months, your skin is less likely to be irritated post-treatment.

If you are tired of shaving or waxing, this long-term solution can give you smoother skin with fewer ingrown hairs and less maintenance.

Best for: underarms, bikini line, legs, face

Treatment time: varies by area

Downtime: minimal to none

5. Customized Skincare Consultations: Build a Routine That Works

If your current skincare routine feels rushed, confusing, or ineffective, our licensed providers can help you simplify and strengthen it. We offer one-on-one consultations to assess your skin and recommend medical-grade products that deliver real results.

This is a great option for parents looking to make intentional choices about skincare without wasting time or money on over-the-counter guesswork.
