Summer is hard to beat in Idaho. Long days, weekends at the lake, hiking, traveling, and plenty of time outdoors are all part of the fun. Your skin, however, may be ready for a little extra attention by the time September rolls around.
Even when you’ve been good about sunscreen, months of sun, heat, sweat, and outdoor activities can leave your skin looking different than it did at the beginning of summer. Maybe you’re noticing a few new brown spots, more redness, rougher texture, or simply a complexion that doesn’t look quite as fresh.
The change of seasons is a great time to take a closer look at your skin and decide what it needs next. Here are five treatments we love considering as we head into fall.
1. BBL HEROic™ for Sun Spots and Uneven Tone
Those little brown spots that suddenly seem more noticeable after summer? Sun exposure may have something to do with them.
BBL HEROic™ uses BroadBand Light to address concerns such as sun damage, pigmentation, redness, rosacea, and even acne. At Fresh Aesthetics, treatments can be customized based on what we’re seeing in your skin and the areas you want to improve. For someone coming out of summer bothered by discoloration or an uneven complexion, BBL HEROic™ may be one of the treatments we discuss during a consultation.
2. CoolPeel® for a Fresh Start
Sometimes it isn’t a particular spot that’s bothering you. Your skin just looks a little tired.
CoolPeel® is a CO2 laser resurfacing treatment that can help improve dullness, fine lines, enlarged pores, texture, and visible sun damage. It’s a great option to talk about when your goal is an overall refresh rather than correcting one specific concern. As always, timing matters with laser treatments, so we’ll take recent sun exposure into account before recommending when to begin.
3. Chemical Peels for Dull, Uneven Skin
If your skin feels rough or looks lackluster after summer, a chemical peel may be all it needs to get back on track.
Chemical peels exfoliate the outer layers of the skin and can be customized depending on your concerns. Fresh Aesthetics offers options for concerns including acne, brightness, and signs of aging. They’re also a nice way to transition your skincare routine into fall, especially if you’re ready to focus more on texture, clarity, and brightness.
4. Microneedling for Texture and Collagen
Summer doesn’t only bring out pigmentation. It can also make existing texture, pores, fine lines, and acne scars seem more noticeable.
Microneedling creates tiny controlled micro-injuries that encourage the skin’s natural healing response and new collagen production. At Fresh Aesthetics, we use it to address concerns including acne scarring, enlarged pores, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, fine lines, and uneven texture. Because your skin can be more sensitive to sunlight following treatment, we’ll also talk with you about sun protection and the right timing for your appointment.
5. A Customized Facial When Your Skin Just Needs Some TLC
Not everyone needs a laser or more intensive treatment. After months of sunscreen, sweat, travel, and changing routines, sometimes a good facial is exactly where we want to start. Fresh Aesthetics offers customized aesthetician services, including facials, so your treatment can be chosen around what your skin actually needs.
A facial can also give us a chance to take a closer look at your skin and talk about whether you might benefit from something more targeted later in the season.
So, What Does Your Skin Need This Fall?
Here’s the important part: you don’t need all five.
A few new sun spots call for a very different approach than acne scars, redness, or skin that simply feels dry and dull. And if you’ve spent a lot of time in the sun recently, we may recommend giving your skin some time before certain treatments. That’s why we prefer to start with your skin rather than a treatment menu.
Fall gives us a great opportunity to see how your skin made it through summer, address the concerns that are bothering you now, and create a plan for the cooler months ahead.
