Do you feel it? Fall is finally in the air! This time of year is all about the slightly cooler weather, fall flavors at your favorite coffee spot, and the chance to find new routines. For many, fall feels like a fresh start, and that’s a reason why it’s the perfect time of year to refocus on skincare.
After a long, hot summer, your skin could probably use a new pop of brightness and rejuvenation. Luckily, just what you need isn’t far away: a professional skincare treatment can offer all that and more. Here are some of our favorite fall facials for smoother, brighter skin.
HydraFacial Plus
You may be familiar with the HydraFacial. It’s a tried-and-true favorite that uses a special, high-tech wand to cleanse, hydrate, infuse, and protect your skin. At Balance MedSpa, we love HydraFacial so much that we combined it with some of the components of our Balance Signature Facial to create the HydraFacial Plus, an even more effective option for brightening and renewal.
Here are some of the key ways HydraFacial Plus differs from a standard facial treatment:
- Deeper Penetration: The HydraFacial tool uses patented Vortex-Fusion technology, which allows it to loosen dirt and debris settled in your pores. This can help prevent future breakouts so you enjoy clearer skin in the cool, dry months.
- Effective Hydration: The nourishing solution applied during a HydraFacial is like no other! It is absorbed deep into your pores, creating a glow that will make you forget all about sun damage and dullness.
- Booster Options: From Britenol to Growth Factor, we offer a variety of boosters we can add on to your HydraFacial for more noticeable, customized benefits.
Dermaplaning
In summer, it’s common for dead skin cells to build up on the surface of your skin. Hours spent relaxing in the sun feel amazing, but can leave your complexion looking dull. Dermaplaning is a non-invasive treatment that helps remove dead and damaged skin cells, revealing the fresh, bright skin beneath.
Dermaplaning also removes the tiny vellus hairs that cover your face. If you’re someone who likes to wear more makeup in the fall, this can make for a smoother, more even foundation application.
Don’t worry; dermaplaning is not painful in the slightest. Your practitioner will use a special scalpel to carefully scrape away dead skin and tiny hairs without doing damage to the healthy skin underneath. Some clients even find the sensation relaxing. Your skin will look smoother, brighter, and more evenly toned immediately after your session. And if you keep up with regular exfoliation at home, you can preserve this dewy look for weeks.
Chemical Peels
If you want to go one step further than dermaplaning, consider booking a chemical peel. These exfoliating treatments use a special acidic solution to chemically exfoliate your skin, removing the dead, outer skin cells and many impurities.
Chemical peels can leave your skin a bit red and irritated for a few days post-treatment, so you’ll want to schedule yours at least a week before any big event. The treatment is not overtly painful, but it can cause some mild burning and itching.
At Balance MedSpa, we offer several different chemical peels. Our practitioners can examine your skin, talk to you about your goals, and recommend the peel that will give you the healthiest, most glowing skin leading into fall.
Jessner’s Peel
Jessner’s Peel uses a specialized blend of three different acids, along with Resorcinol. It’s a dependable, long-time favorite and works well for patients with all-around dryness and dullness. It can also temporarily ease the appearance of fine lines, which is helpful if you’re worried about makeup settling in those spots when creating the perfect glam look for fun events and holiday festivities this fall.
Balance Peel
This is our in-house peel we formulate with a blend of alpha and beta hydroxy acids, plus retinoic acid. We love the way it works for clients with trouble spots. If you have patches of dryness on your cheeks, a dull forehead, or a chin with lots of clogged pores, we’ll probably recommend this peel. The benefits are long-lasting, making it a good option as the weather grows colder, drier, and harsher on skin.
Custom Chemical Peels
Everyone’s skin is different, which is why we also offer custom chemical peels. If you have a specific skincare goal, just let us know! We can work with you to create a specially blended peel to help you achieve exactly what you’re looking for.
Fall doesn’t have to mean dry and drab. With these fall facials, fall can be a season of renewed brightness and a fresh complexion.
