Stay Cool, Fit And Radiant

As temperatures rise, it's time to prepare for the season with practical tips and expert advice. From keeping cool and hydrated to maintaining your fitness and exploring the latest in aesthetic services, experts at Aster Clinics cover everything you need to thrive during the summer months.

Beat the Heat: Stay Hydrated

Staying hydrated is crucial during the sweltering UAE summer says Dr Nevra Batur, Specialist Family Medicine at Aster Xpress Clinic, Jumeirah Beach Residence. Dehydration can lead to heat exhaustion and other health issues, so it's crucial to drink plenty of water throughout the day. Include hydrating beverages like fresh juices, milkshakes, and yoghurt drinks in your diet to keep your hydration levels up.

Avoid sugary and caffeinated drinks that can dehydrate you. Always carry a reusable water bottle to ensure you have access to water wherever you go. Remember, staying cool and hydrated helps you beat the heat and enjoy the summer to its fullest!

Survive the Sun: Managing Extreme Temperatures

Dr Grace Fabrizia Graziani, Specialist Family Medicine at Aster Royal Clinic, Arabian Ranches says that the UAE summer can bring extreme temperatures, making it vital to take precautions. Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun, especially during peak hours between 10 AM and 4 PM. Use a high-SPF sunscreen and reapply it every two hours.

She adds by saying to wear protective clothing, hats, and sunglasses to shield yourself from harmful UV rays. Seek shade whenever possible and be aware of signs of heat-related illnesses such as dizziness, nausea, and excessive sweating.

Aster Clinics offers IV vitamin drip therapies that deliver fluids directly into the veins. IV Vitamin Drips treat a wide variety of conditions like dehydration and boost immunity, recovery, energy and overall well-being.

Stay Active: Avoid Summer Weight Gain

Summer can be a challenging time to maintain your fitness routine, but staying active is crucial to avoid weight gain says Dr Ajitkumar Ratnakaran Menon, Specialist Family Medicine at Aster Clinic, Al Qusais (Damascus Street). Engage in early morning or late evening outdoor activities like jogging, swimming, or cycling when temperatures are cooler.

Consider indoor options such as gym workouts, fitness classes, or home exercise routines. Staying active not only helps you maintain a healthy weight but also boosts your energy levels and mood. Incorporate fun and varied fitness activities into your routine to stay motivated and fit this summer.

Smooth and Silky: Laser Hair Removal for Summer

Laser hair removal is a popular choice for achieving smooth, hair-free skin during the summer says Dr Hanaa Gasem Mergeny Mohamed, Specialist Dermatology and Cosmetology at Aster Clinic, Fujairah. This procedure targets hair follicles with laser energy, reducing hair growth over time. It is effective in various areas, including the legs, arms, underarms, and bikini line.

If you are planning for a vacation and beach-ready body laser hair removal is the option for you! The treatment is quick and relatively painless, making it a convenient option for those looking to minimise hair removal routines. Schedule your sessions well in advance of your summer plans to ensure optimal results. Enjoy the confidence of silky-smooth skin all season long.

Glow and Renew: Transform Skin with Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are an effective way to exfoliate and revitalise your skin, reducing the signs of ageing, sun damage, and pigmentation, a risk that comes with peak summer says Dr Muneer Mohamed, Specialist Dermatology and Cosmetology at Aster Clinic, Al Muteena (Deira). They work by gently removing the outer layer of dead skin cells, revealing smoother, brighter skin underneath.

The extreme summers in the UAE can cause massive skin damage. Skin resurfacing with a chemical peel can restore the youthful appearance of the ageing face, neck, and hands. Healthcare professionals frequently use chemical peels for both therapeutic and cosmetic purposes to enhance facial skin's appearance, whether utilised independently or combined with other approaches such as laser treatment or dermabrasion.
