The holidays might feel far away, but when it comes to your skin, planning ahead is everything. The right treatments done at the right time mean you’ll look radiant, refreshed, and confident at every gathering, photo, and celebration. Here’s how to map out your fall skincare so you’re glowing by December.
September–October: Correct and Reset
After a summer of sun exposure, now is the time to repair and reset your skin.
Fraxel Laser, IPL Photofacial, or Microneedling RF
These treatments target sun damage, uneven tone, and fine lines, while stimulating fresh collagen. The lower UV index in the Fall makes it one of the best times to recover from laser therapy.
Chemical Peels or Salt Facial
These treatments gently exfoliate the skin’s surface to reveal a smoother, more even complexion. A peel can soften fine lines and lighten sun spots, while the Salt Facial combines organic sea salt with ultrasound and LED therapy for resurfacing that also boosts collagen and hydration. Both options leave skin looking brighter and feeling renewed with minimal downtime.
Why now?
These treatments may have a short recovery period, and results develop over weeks. Starting early ensures you’ll see your best results by the holidays.
October–November: Refine and Rejuvenate
With your skin foundation reset, it’s time to fine-tune.
Filler and Botox
Soften lines, restore volume, and refresh your expression. Subtle enhancements done now mean everything has time to settle and look natural by December.
Microneedling RF or Clear and Brilliant
Microneedling RF combines the collagen-boosting benefits of microneedling with radiofrequency energy to tighten and firm skin at a deep level. Clear and Brilliant is a gentler laser treatment that refreshes tone, smooths texture, and minimizes early signs of aging with minimal downtime. Both treatments are excellent mid-fall options that keep skin looking healthy, firm, and refined in time for holiday photos.
Why now?
Injectables and collagen-stimulating treatments look their best a few weeks after, so this is the sweet spot to schedule.
November–December: Glow and Go
This is the season for quick, no-downtime treatments that boost radiance right before events.
Hydrafacial or Aquagold Facial
Soften lines, restore volume, and refresh your expression. Subtle enhancements done now mean everything looks has time to settle and look natural by December.
Dermaplaning and LED Light Therapy
A polished finish for makeup and photos. Dermaplaning sweeps away dull surface cells and peach fuzz so skin looks smoother on camera; LED supports calm, even-looking skin and a healthy glow.
Salt Facial
A full three-step treatment that begins with organic sea salt exfoliation, followed by ultrasound with stem cells to deeply hydrate, and finishing with LED therapy to rejuvenate. It’s ideal for restoring clarity and brightness to the skin before the holidays.
Why now?
These treatments deliver immediate glow and can be done days before a holiday party or family photos.
