Before the whirlwind of summer vacations, outdoor events and long beach days takes over, spring offers an ideal window to take stock of your skin and do something about it. Board certified plastic surgeons across the country say this is one of the most popular times of year for patients to come in and address everything from fine lines to body contouring concerns.

Whether you’re curious about injectables, considering a more involved procedure or simply want to know where to start, eight expert-recommended treatments are worth putting on your radar right now.

 Fillers

Dermal fillers remain one of the most versatile tools in aesthetic medicine. They can restore lost facial volume, plump the lips and soften the appearance of wrinkles all with little to no downtime. A notable advantage for spring: fillers don’t carry restrictions around sun exposure, making them a practical option as the season heats up.

Lasers

Laser treatments whether targeting unwanted hair or uneven skin tone are a strong spring option, provided you’re thoughtful about the sun. Fully ablative procedures like CO2 laser resurfacing require patients to avoid sun exposure both before and after treatment for several weeks. Non ablative options are more forgiving but still call for diligent SPF use.

There’s a common misconception that treatments like BBL, UltraClear or MOXI can’t be done if you plan to spend time outdoors. In reality, consistent use of sunscreen and protective hats makes these lasers safe year-round. The MOXI laser in particular is a standout spring pick, delivering a smoother, more luminous complexion within about a week of treatment.

 Neurotoxins

If you’re already on a quarterly schedule for wrinkle treatments, spring is a smart time to book your next appointment. Getting treated now means you likely won’t need to return until early fall a convenient timeline for anyone with a packed summer calendar. Neurotoxins work by relaxing the facial muscles responsible for expression lines, with no downtime and no sun sensitivity to navigate afterward.

 PRF injections

Platelet-rich fibrin, or PRF, injections are gaining momentum as a spring skin booster. Derived from the patient’s own blood, PRF is used to improve overall skin texture and can even add a subtle plumpness to the lips. It’s a natural-feeling approach to rejuvenation that pairs well with other treatments.

 Microneedling

Microneedling works by creating tiny, controlled punctures in the skin’s surface, triggering the body’s natural collagen production in response. The result, over time, is firmer, smoother skin that looks noticeably more refined heading into summer. Traditional microneedling and radiofrequency microneedling are both available options your provider can help determine which version better suits your goals.

 Breast augmentation

Surgical procedures don’t necessarily require a long recovery, and breast augmentation is a prime example. Performed in the months or even weeks before summer, this procedure gives patients enough time to heal comfortably and feel confident in swimwear by the time warmer weather arrives. Spring is widely considered an optimal window for scheduling.

 Facials

Not every spring treatment has to be high-intensity. A well-chosen medical-grade facial can make a meaningful difference, and there’s a wide range to consider from microdermabrasion, which physically exfoliates the skin, to HydraFacials, which cleanse and hydrate simultaneously. A consultation with your provider can help identify the best fit for your specific skin concerns.

 Liposculpting

For patients focused on body confidence, liposculpting a more targeted and precise variation of traditional liposuction offers refined contouring results. Because optimal outcomes typically take about three months to fully settle, booking now puts patients right on track for summer. Anyone who has had this procedure on their mind for a while may want to act sooner rather than later.
