As the leaves change color and the air turns crisp, it’s the perfect time to give your skin some extra TLC. The transition into fall offers an opportunity to refresh your skincare routine and explore treatments that can help you maintain a glowing complexion all season long. Whether you’re looking to smooth away wrinkles, revive sun-damaged skin or simply refresh your routine for the coming cooler days, these easy skincare treatments can help.
1. Injectables
You won’t have to miss out on trips to the pumpkin patch or other fun fall activities after getting injectables like fillers or BOTOX®, as these treatments are quick and easy and don’t require downtime. Fillers can provide a dewy, hydrated glow while smoothing away lines and wrinkles or even reshaping the lips, making them a great treatment to consider coming out of the summer season.
Similarly, BOTOX is a popular nonsurgical skin treatment that temporarily improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, particularly around the eyes, providing a subtle, refreshed final result.
2. Laser Skin Treatments
The fall and winter months are ideal times of year to schedule laser skin treatments like laser resurfacing, since you’ll need to avoid sun exposure while your skin heals after your appointment. One of the biggest benefits of laser resurfacing is that it can address a wide range of skin problems, including lines and wrinkles, dark spots, uneven skin texture, acne scars and more.
Expect your skin to be red and tender for a few weeks after laser resurfacing, though this shouldn’t interfere with your normal daily routine.
3. Microneedling
Another quick and easy skin treatment that can perfectly fit within your fall plans is microneedling. This procedure uses small needles to create tiny micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating your body’s natural healing process and boosting collagen production. Microneedling can significantly improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of scars and minimize the appearance of enlarged pores. It can also address fine lines and uneven skin tone and texture.
4. Revamp Your Skincare Routine
Fall is a great time to reassess and revamp your skincare routine to address the changing needs of your skin as the weather cools down. The drop in temperature and humidity can leave your skin feeling dry and tight this time of year, so many people can benefit from switching to more hydrating products. Look for moisturizers that contain ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides and glycerin to lock in moisture and protect your skin barrier throughout the fall and winter.
Most skin types can also benefit from using a gentle exfoliant to remove dead skin cells from the surface of your skin and promote cell turnover for a smooth, radiant complexion. Finally, adding a rich night cream or hydrating serum to your evening routine can help to repair and nourish dry, tight skin overnight.
Most importantly, your fall skincare routine should be customized to address your skin’s specific needs without inadvertently creating other problems. Our team of skincare experts can help you craft a personalized medical-grade skincare regimen that’s perfect for your skin this fall.
