Laser Season Is Coming: Why Fall Is the Perfect Time to Transform Your Skin

Summer may be all about protecting your skin, but fall is when we can start getting serious about transforming it.

As the days get shorter and our time in the sun naturally decreases, fall and winter create an ideal window for many laser treatments. Whether you're bothered by sun damage, pigmentation, uneven texture, fine lines, redness, or simply feel like your skin could use a reset, now is the perfect time to start thinking about a treatment plan.

And at The SPa at MPS, we're approaching laser season a little differently this year.

With Dr. Jeffrey Gross offering complimentary laser consultations and a customized pre- and post-treatment skincare regimen included with our laser treatments, we're combining advanced technology with great skincare to treat your skin from multiple angles.

Why Is Fall Known as "Laser Season"?

There's a reason you'll hear aesthetic providers get excited about laser treatments as soon as summer starts winding down.

Many laser treatments make the skin temporarily more sensitive to sunlight, and sun exposure before or after certain treatments can increase the risk of unwanted pigmentation or other complications. Patients may also need to avoid tanning before treatment.

That can make summer - with vacations, pool days, outdoor activities, and plenty of sunshine - a difficult time to commit to certain laser treatments.

During fall and winter, however, we naturally spend more time indoors, wear more protective clothing, and experience fewer hours of intense sunlight.

That makes the cooler months an excellent time to begin a laser treatment plan.

And because some skin concerns require a series of treatments or time for collagen remodeling and healing, starting in the fall gives your skin months to improve before spring and summer return.

Skincare Is Important - But Sometimes You Need to Go Deeper

A great medical-grade skincare routine is one of the best investments you can make in your skin.

But there's only so much topical skincare can accompmlish on its own.

That's something Dr. Gross is particularly passionate about.

While your daily prodcuts help protect, nourish, hydrate, and support the skin from the outside, laser technology allows us to address concerns beneath the skin's surface.

Depending on the laser and treatment selected, we can target concerns such as:

• Sun damage and brown spots
• Redness and vascular concerns
• Uneven pigmentation
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Rough or uneven texture
• Enlarged pores
• Acne scarring
• Skin laxity
• Collagen loss
• Overall skin quality

Rather than thinking about skincare versus lasers, Dr. Gross encourages patients to think about how the two can work together.

Great skincare supports your skin every day. Laser treatments allow us to address concerns that products alone may not be able to reach.

Your Laser Treatment Now Includes Your Skincare Regimen

Our laser treatments now include a pre- and post-treatment skincare regimen featuring Alastin and Hydrinity products as part of the treatment price.

Why?

Because what you do to your skin before and after a laser treatment matters.

Preparing the skin appropriately can help create the best environment for treatment, while thoughtful post-procedure skincare supports the skin throughout the recovery and rejuvenation process.

Instead of sending you home wondering which products to use, we're building that part of the plan for you.

The laser treatment isn't an isolated appointment. It's part of a complete skin rejuvenation plan.

But Which Laser Do You Actually Need?

This is where things can get confusing.

You may know that you don't love the brown spots across your cheeks.

Or that your skin doesn't look as smooth as it used to.

Maybe you're bothered by redness, acne scars, fine lines, or sun damage after another summer outside.

You know you want your skin to look better - but you have absolutely no idea which laser you're supposed to book.

That's okay. You don't need to know.

Different lasers and settings are designed to address different layers of the skin and different concerns. Choosing a treatment based solely on something you saw online isn't necessarily going to give you the best option for your skin.

That's exactly why we're offering complimentary laser consultation.

Meet with Dr. Gross or Our Aesthetician to Build Your Laser Plan

During your consultation, Dr. Gross or our licensed aesthetician, Ashley can evaluate your skin, listen to what bothers you, and help determine which treatment - or combination of treatments - makes the most sense for your concerns and goals.

You don't need to walk in asking for a specific laser.

You can simply walk in saying:

"Here's what bothers me about my skin. What can we do about it?"

From there, we can create a personalized plan.

And because your skincare regimen is incorporated into your laser treatment, we're able to think beyond what happens during the procedure itself and consider how you're caring for your skin before, during, and after your treatment series.

Don't Wait Until Winter to Start Thinking About Laser Season

If you've spent the summer noticing new sun spots, wishing your skin texture were smoother, covering redness with makeup, or thinking "I really need to do something about my skin," this is your sign to start the conversation. 

You don't necessarily need to have your laser treatment tomorrow.

But now is the time to make the plan.

Schedule your complimentary consultation, learn what's actually happening beneath the surface of your skin, and create a personalized treatment and skincare plan so you're ready to take advantage of laser season this fall and winter.

Because great skin isn't built with one product or one procedure.

It's build with the right plan.
