4 Cosmetic Treatments to Try This Fall

Fall is a great time to schedule cosmetic treatments. The sun is less intense in the cooler autumn months, making it easier for sensitive skin to tolerate a cosmetic procedure. It’s also a great opportunity to start treating some sun damage you may have experienced over the summer. Read on to learn about some of the popular services that you can treat yourself to this fall. 

 

Microneedling 

If you’re struggling with acne scars, skin texture, large pores, fine lines, or uneven skin pigmentation – microneedling could be a great solution. This advanced technique is so effective in reducing skin imperfections because it stimulates collagen growth by creating tiny punctures for the body to heal. Our expert providers use a small handheld device with tiny fine needles. They can control the depth and amount of needle penetration to tailor the treatment for optimal results. This procedure is painless and offers visible, long-lasting results after just a few sessions. 

 

Laser Treatments 

Like microneedling, laser skin resurfacing uses your own complexion’s natural reaction to protect itself from what it perceives as an “injury” to release collagen. Laser treatments utilize light to target specific tissue responses in the skin. From hair removal to blood vessel and age spot reduction, lasers are wonderful tools to achieve a specific cosmetic outcome. 

Your specialist will work with you to identify your specific goals and create a personalized treatment plan. They may suggest a laser that targets light and heat to the areas of need, or they may recommend milder treatments that go right to deeper tissue without removing the epidermis. The best type of treatment will depend on skin type, sun damage, and wrinkles. Each session results in healthier new tissue, although it may take a few sessions to see the results you’re looking for. Thankfully, these treatments are virtually painless and typically take 30 minutes per session. 

 

Chemical Peels 

Chemical peels are one of the most effective treatments for a wide variety of skin concerns, including pores, brown spots, acne, uneven pigmentation, scarring, and more. Peels are highly customizable to suit the level or repair your skin needs. For example, fine lines, acne, and mild skin pigmentation respond well to superficial chemical peels. For deeper lines or acne scars, a mid to deep chemical peel may be necessary. 

These peels work so well because they are resurfacing procedures. When the peel removes the top layers of the epidermis (and, if needed, middle skin layers), the replacement tissue grows back to give you smoother, more even-toned skin. One treatment may be all you need, but we often recommend a few sessions for more persistent problems. Your recovery after a chemical peel can take a few days, although deep chemical peels may require a bit more recovery time before the redness fades. 

 

Body Sculpting 

Body sculpting treatments use specific methods such as cold or radiofrequency energies to destroy fat cells and promote muscle tightening in problem areas like the stomach, buttocks, upper arms, thighs, and calves. Once the fat is destroyed, the body flushes them away, leaving behind more toned-looking skin. Usually, several treatment sessions are required for optimal results. 

 Our team can help you decide which body sculpting method is best for you. Our two most popular methods include CoolSculpting, which freezes fat cells, and EmSculpt, which uses high-intensity electromagnetic therapy to destroy fat cells and build muscle.
