Ah, back-to-school season. You probably have childhood memories of picking out a first-day outfit, rekindling friendships, and meeting your new teachers. Once you reach adulthood, back-to-school season starts looking a bit different. The kids or grandkids aren’t around as much, and you finally have a little time to yourself.
That’s why back-to-school season is the perfect time to refocus on skincare. Refresh your daily routine with some new products, and maybe even schedule a maintenance appointment at your local med spa.
Why Fall Is the Season for Skincare
There’s no doubt about it: summer is hard on your skin. This is especially true in Florida, where sunshine is abundant, and beaches are the go-to spot for family gatherings. After several months of sand, surf, and sun, it’s common for skin to look dull and dehydrated. A little refresh, like a restorative facial, can give your skin a boost before PTA meetings and Thanksgiving gatherings start filling your calendar.
Fall is also a great season for skincare because you have a little more time to spare. After all, the best results come from consistency. Once the kids are back in school and you have a moment to breathe, it’s easier to be consistent with a new moisturizer, mask, or serum. It’s also easier to schedule medical spa treatments that require a couple of sessions.
Best MedSpa Treatments for Fall
A good self-care skincare routine can go a long way towards improving the texture and tone of your skin after a stressful summer. The practitioners at Balance MedSpa are happy to suggest specific products or help you create a customized skincare routine. In many cases, however, we find that a professional treatment or two helps amplify the effects of daily skincare.
The following are some of our most effective, popular fall treatments:
1. Balance Signature Facial
The Balance Signature Facial is a restorative facial that is sure to leave you looking and feeling refreshed. We use steam to relax and open your pores, which allows us to more fully extract toxins and impurities that have built up throughout the summer. With clear pores, any serums or moisturizers you use at home will be better able to penetrate, heal, and soothe your skin. The Balance Signature Facial ends with a customized mask formulated to address your unique skin concerns. Whether you struggle with fine lines, dullness, or uneven texture, you’ll love how smooth and glowy your skin becomes.
2. HydraFacial
The HydraFacial is another popular fall facial Orlando women enjoy. Performed with a patented tool, it cleanses your skin through gentle exfoliation, extracts debris from pores using suction, and infuses your skin with antioxidants and peptides for a lasting glow.
The HydraFacial can also be customized with various boosters and add-ons, like Britenol to minimize sun spots or Rozatrol for redness. We also offer HydraFacial MD Plus, which brings in some elements of our Balance Signature Facial for a more relaxing and indulgent session.
3. Microneedling
Do you have sun spots or uneven skin texture after spending a lot of time outdoors this past summer? If so, microneedling is the perfect fall treatment to consider. We use tiny needles to create many small penetrations in your skin. This triggers your body’s natural healing process, which results in the production of more collagen. In the weeks following treatment, your skin becomes smoother, and scars fade.
4. Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are also wonderful for back-to-school season. We apply an acidic solution to your face, leave it in place for a few minutes, then gently wash it away. This is essentially a deep exfoliating treatment. Dead, dull skin cells are sloughed away, revealing fresh, new skin below. A single maintenance treatment can restore your glow while also reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Balance MedSpa offers the Balance Peel, which uses alpha- and beta- hydroxy acids, and also Jessner’s Peel, a time-tested staple made with three acids and resorcinol. Our experienced practitioners will assess your skin and recommend the best option to fit your needs.
5. Botox® and Fillers
Injectables are also an approachable option for aging skin. A little filler can help rebuild the natural volume your skin has lost, and Botox® is incredible for easing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, like crow’s feet and smile lines. The results last for months, and you can fit a session into a lunch break.
This fall, when the kids head back to school, make sure you take the time to refocus on skin maintenance. A custom routine and a relaxing treatment will help restore a more rested, radiant look.
