With the fall season coming closer, the humidity levels are dropping, and the air is getting much crisper. This could make the skin feel dry and flaky as the dead and damaged skin cells hang onto the surface. Summer’s high UV exposure might have also damaged your collagen production, causing you to develop new fine lines and wrinkles. 

For this reason, when fall comes around, it is recommended that you schedule some skin rejuvenation treatments. Luckily, Dr. Ariel Ostad has plenty of options to choose from at his New York City office, regardless of your imperfections and skin type. In this blog, you can learn more about the most popular skin rejuvenation treatments and how they can help you! 

Why Fall Is Perfect for Skin Rejuvenation Treatments

Fall is an excellent time for skin rejuvenation treatments for various reasons, but most importantly, it is because of reduced UV exposure. Days are shorter during the fall season, and while you must be careful during peak hours, the sunlight is not as strong. As facial rejuvenation treatments can make the skin more sensitive to UV rays, the fall season reduces the potential for post-procedure complications. 

Additionally, skin rejuvenation treatments during fall can help prep your skin for the holidays. By getting them at the beginning of the season, you should reap the full effects by Halloween, Thanksgiving, or Christmas, looking your best at family gatherings. 

Top Skin Rejuvenation Treatments to Consider

Skin rejuvenation treatments come in many forms, depending on your preferences and the imperfections you want to treat. Some of the most popular alternatives are the following: 

1. Fraxel® Laser 

The Fraxel® laser is one of the most popular treatment options this fall, and it comes with many benefits. Whether you choose the Fraxel® CO2 laser or the Fraxel® Dual and Restore, the treatment targets the damaged cells on the surface while leaving the healthy tissue alone. The laser also promotes new collagen production, revealing younger, smoother-looking skin. 

With either Fraxel® option, you can reduce wrinkles and fine lines and improve skin tone and texture. You can also minimize sunspots and hyperpigmentation while decreasing the appearance of acne scars. The potential for downtime is minimal, and aside from some initial mild redness, you should not feel much discomfort from the procedure. 

2. PicoWay® Laser

Did you develop some new pigmentation marks from spending all that time in the sun this summer? Or maybe you got a tattoo you suddenly regretted once daylight hours came around. By using ultra-short picosecond light pulses, the PicoWay® laser can break all types of pigment underneath the skin, clearing it of any marks that should not be there. 

With the PicoWay® laser, you can easily destroy skin containing pigmentation while leaving the surrounding tissue intact. As your body naturally removes the pigment, you’ll notice that the skin becomes brighter and even toned, with very few side effects to show. PicoWay® can even help you treat deep-rooted conditions such as melasma. 

3. Chemical Peels 

Your skin naturally sheds the damaged cells in time, but in most cases, it is not fast enough. When regular exfoliation fails to remove the dead tissue, it’s time to go in for a deeper treatment like a chemical peel. This treatment uses a chemical solution to trigger the removal of the top skin layer, revealing the healthy new layer underneath. 

Chemical peels come in different depth levels, from superficial to medium and deep. The more significant your imperfections, the deeper the chemical peel should go. For instance, a light peel is perfect for refreshing tired and dull-looking skin, whereas deeper peels are best for wrinkles and scars.
