Just like your wardrobe changes with the seasons, your skin often benefits from adjustments in care as well. Summer brings extra sun exposure, heat, and humidity—all of which can leave your skin feeling stressed, uneven, or in need of renewal. As cooler, drier fall weather arrives, it’s an ideal time to consider treatments that restore balance, improve skin health, and prepare your skin for the months ahead.
Neuromodulators: Addressing Fine Lines After Summer Sun
Repeated facial expressions—like squinting in bright sunlight—can make fine lines around the eyes and forehead more noticeable. Neuromodulators such as Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin® are designed to temporarily relax targeted muscles, softening those lines.
- Useful for both prevention and correction of wrinkles
- Quick treatment with little to no downtime
- Can also provide relief from jaw tension or excessive sweating
As a seasonal option, these treatments can help smooth expression lines that may have deepened during summer.
Chemical Peels: Resetting the Skin with the VI Peel
Chemical peels are a time-tested way to refresh the skin, and the VI Peel is a versatile option for many concerns. Its blend of ingredients works beneath the surface to improve overall skin clarity and tone.
- Helps lighten sun spots and hyperpigmentation
- Supports more even skin texture
- Can reduce acne and acne scars
- Promotes a brighter complexion
Because it involves only a few days of peeling, this treatment can be a practical choice after summer, when the skin may need a reset from sun exposure.
Laser Resurfacing
Lasers play a valuable role in addressing skin changes brought on by both aging and environmental factors like sun damage. Using controlled energy, these treatments can target discoloration, texture, and overall skin quality. Different laser options allow for personalization:
- BBL® Hero™: Focuses on pigment concerns such as redness or brown spots, while also encouraging healthier cell activity.
- Halo®: Combines two laser types to improve fine lines, pores, and discoloration, leaving skin with a more even glow.
- NanoLaserPeel™: A light resurfacing treatment that refreshes skin with minimal downtime—often called the “weekend peel.”
- MicroLaserPeel®: A deeper resurfacing option that removes damaged skin layers to improve texture and tone.
Fall is often considered an ideal season for laser treatments because reduced sun exposure lowers the risk of post-treatment complications, allowing skin to heal more effectively.
Seasonal Takeaway
Transitioning from summer to fall is more than a lifestyle change—it’s also a chance to give your skin extra care. Treatments like neuromodulators, chemical peels, and lasers each target different concerns, but all can support healthier, smoother, and more radiant skin as you move into the cooler months.
