Summer may be winding down, but that doesn’t mean your skincare routine should take a backseat. As the weather transitions from hot and humid to cool and crisp, your skin needs a little extra TLC to stay healthy and radiant.
Learn how to adjust your skincare regimen for the fall season, along with some curated tips and recommended procedures from The Heights Plastic Surgery Med Spa.
Why Your Skin Needs a Seasonal Shift
Just like your wardrobe changes with the seasons, so should your skincare routine. Here’s why:
- Decreased Humidity: As the air gets drier, your skin loses moisture more easily, leading to dryness, flakiness, and irritation.
- Less Sun Exposure: While you still need daily sunscreen, reduced sun exposure in the fall means you can focus on repairing any summer damage and boosting hydration.
- Shifting Skin Concerns: Cooler weather can exacerbate certain skin conditions like eczema and rosacea.
Fall Skincare Tips From Our Medical Skincare Specialists
- Hydration is Key: Switch to a richer, more hydrating moisturizer to combat dryness. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and shea butter.
- Exfoliate Gently: Continue to exfoliate, but reduce the frequency to avoid over-drying. Opt for gentle exfoliants like lactic acid or enzymatic scrubs.
- Don’t Forget Your Lips: The delicate skin on your lips is prone to chapping in cooler weather. Keep them hydrated with a nourishing lip balm.
- Hydrate from Within: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out.
Fall Skincare Treatments at The Heights
The Heights Plastic Surgery Med Spa offers a variety of treatments to help you achieve a healthy, radiant complexion this fall:
Hydrafacial
Combat dryness and dullness this fall with a Hydrafacial®! This painless, multi-step facial cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates your skin using a patented device, leaving you with an immediate glow, improved texture, and lasting hydration – all with no downtime.
Moxi Laser
Rejuvenate your skin this fall with MOXI® Laser, a gentle treatment that addresses uneven skin tone and texture, sun damage, and light scarring. This non-ablative laser creates micro-injuries, stimulating collagen for a refreshed complexion. Expect minimal downtime with some redness and swelling, resulting in improved skin tone and reduced pigmentation and scarring. It’s the perfect “fall refresh” for your skin!
Halo Laser
If you’re looking for a more dramatic skin transformation this fall, consider HALO® Laser. This powerful hybrid fractional laser combines ablative and non-ablative wavelengths to target deeper wrinkles, sun damage, and uneven pigmentation. While it involves a few days of redness and peeling, the results are significant, revealing smoother, more even-toned skin with a noticeable reduction in wrinkles.
Sculptra Injections
As summer’s humidity fades and cooler air sets in, you might notice a loss of facial volume. Sculptra® injections can help combat this by stimulating collagen production, restoring a youthful plumpness, and providing a natural-looking lift. This involves injections of poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible substance, with minimal downtime (perhaps some mild swelling or bruising). The result is a gradual and natural-looking improvement in facial volume and contours.
RF Microneedling
For smoother, firmer skin with fewer fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars, consider RF Microneedling this fall. This innovative procedure combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production. Tiny needles create micro-channels in the skin, delivering radiofrequency energy to the deeper layers for enhanced results. While you may experience a few days of redness and mild swelling, the outcome is improved skin texture, firmness, and a reduced appearance of imperfections.
Embrace the Change, Embrace Your Glow
By adapting your skincare routine and incorporating targeted treatments, you can ensure your skin stays healthy and radiant throughout the fall season.
