Patients often ask us, “What does my skin need in autumn?” Our Toronto team sees many patients who notice that their skin becomes worse at this time of the year or they simply want to refresh their skincare routine and deeply nourish their skin for the new season. As autumn arrives, the low humidity levels and dry air can often lead to dry, dull, and flaky skin, along with increased sensitivity. Existing skin problems may also be aggravated. Whether you would like to address dryness and other skin problems or simply refresh your appearance, we can help you find the best treatment or combination of treatments for your needs. Switching up your skin care products for richer, more hydrating ingredients should also be considered. Continue reading for some aesthetic treatments you can benefit from this fall.
- Chemical Peels
Debris, oil, and dead skin often collect on the skin during the summer, causing it to look and feel dull. Chemical peels can address many types of skin concerns and give your complexion a brighter, renewed glow. A mild acid is applied to remove the outer layer of dead skin cells. This allows brighter, healthier skin to be revealed. It’s best to avoid subjecting your delicate skin to heat right after you’ve had a chemical peel. There is less sun exposure during the fall so now is a great time for peels.
- Mesoinfusion Therapy
Mesoinfusion therapy can also be beneficial for boosting the health and appearance of your skin. Tiny channels are created with microneedling and nourishing, individualized serums are delivered into the channels. This is ideal for anyone hoping to quickly boost their skin’s overall appearance.
- Laser Skin Treatments
Fall is the ideal time for lasers since most of us don’t have as much sun exposure as in the summertime. In fact, if you’re considering any type of laser treatment, fall or winter may be the best time to start if you enjoy outdoor summer activities, especially near water. Your skin is more sensitive to ultraviolet light after a laser procedure so sun exposure after the treatment is very important. There are several different types of lasers that address various concerns and skin types so it is important to ensure the correct laser is used. Lasers stimulate the production of new collagen, reduce sun damage and improve pigment issues. The result is healthier, fresher, clearer skin. Light treatments such as intense pulsed light (IPL) can also help to treat sunspots, age spots, and redness.
