Timing Your Skincare Procedures with the Seasons

As the seasons in Indiana change throughout the year, so do the needs of our skin. While many of the services offered by Aspire Plastic Surgery and Medical Spa can be done at any time of year, we have some suggestions for timing your skincare procedures with the seasons to help optimize your results.

Summer is Perfect for Microneedling and Gentle Lasers

Summer is the perfect season to enjoy the beautiful sunshine while participating in a variety of outdoor activities. However, due to this increased exposure to the sun, it’s also a great time to rejuvenate your skin with Medical Grade Microneedling.  This non-invasive procedure stimulates collagen production and improves the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage to help you achieve smoother, more radiant skin.

Summer isn’t usually the best season to receive laser treatments, but we recently added a ClearSilk® laser to our service offerings. This is a great summer laser option because it is a gentle treatment that helps create a healthier, more vibrant collection by depositing heat deep beneath your skin’s surface. It can be done on any skin tone during any season to improve your skin’s overall appearance by treating symptoms like redness, rosacea, fine lines, wrinkles, acne, and scars.

Whether you opt for a summer procedure or not, it’s also important to make sure you are protecting your skin with sunscreen. We recommend a regular skincare routine that features SkinMedica® products with SPF.

Fall is Optimal for Laser Treatments

Fall, often casually referred to as “laser season,” is the ideal time for laser treatments like BroadBand Light Therapy (BBL) and Halo ® Laser Resurfacing.

After a summer of sun exposure, these treatments can target sun damage, reduce uneven pigmentation, and address other skin concerns. As your exposure to the sun naturally starts to decrease during the fall months, receiving these treatments during this season can help you achieve brighter, more youthful-looking skin in time for the holiday season.

Winter is Ideal for Chemical Peels and More

The cold, dry air we face during a typical Indiana winter can leave our skin feeling dull and dehydrated, making it the perfect time for a chemical peel. This popular skin procedure removes the damaged outer layer of skin to reveal a layer of smoother, more radiant skin beneath.

Your skin may peel for up to two weeks following a chemical peel, but because life slows down during this season – at least after the holidays – they are a great option to address winter skin concerns and promote skin rejuvenation.

Another great procedure option for the slower winter months is miraDry®. This non-invasive procedure uses controlled electromagnetic energy to target and permanently eliminate sweat and odor glands from your underarms. There is minimal downtime and patients often experience results after just one session.

Spring is Excellent for Injectables and Facials

As spring brings the anticipated return of warmer weather and outdoor activities, it’s the perfect time to refresh your appearance with injectable treatments or facials.

Botox® treatments can fill lines, plump skin, and smooth out creases, helping you achieve a more youthful and refreshed look.

DiamondGlow® is a resurfacing treatment that exfoliates, extracts impurities, and infuses serums with brightening and anti-aging properties into your skin. This effective 3-in-1 system can enhance your skin’s texture, tone, and overall appearance.

HydraFacial® is another non-invasive multi-step treatment, this one with four steps that include cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, and hydration. The serums used in this treatment include antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid. This is a great option for patients with acne, dry skin, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, or fine lines.

Scheduling treatments like these in the spring will help you get summer ready, so you can enjoy optimal results before it’s time for mornings on the golf course or afternoons by the pool.
