Why Fall and Winter Are the Perfect Months to Undergo Non-Surgical Facial Rejuvenation

As the seasons change, so does our skin. Compared to the sun-drenched days of summer, cooler weather means more clothing and less skin exposure. People often think they should put skin care and non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatments on hold until the beach trips and pool parties return. But it may surprise you to learn that the opposite is true. The shorter days and colder weather give your body the time it needs to heal, especially after skin resurfacing or other treatments.

At The Maryland Institute of Plastic Surgery, our board-certified plastic surgeons experience a surge in patients scheduling facial rejuvenation treatments and procedures around this time of year in preparation for the summer. Keep reading to find out why.

Why Wait Until Fall or Winter for Some Facial Treatments?

After most skin rejuvenation treatments, you need to avoid sun exposure. The reasons for this are simple: UV rays damage skin cells, interfere with the treatment’s effectiveness, and may complicate or even prevent the healing process. Additionally, after a deep clean or exfoliation, your skin is more sensitive to sun exposure, which means burning or scarring can happen much more quickly than usual. Pigmentation problems, scarring, and other concerns may occur with too much sun or heat exposure, which will require special attention.

But during the cooler weather of fall and winter, it’s easier to avoid the sun and care for your skin by scheduling cosmetic treatments in the cooler seasons. Clothing keeps skin covered, and with the UV rays being less powerful and damaging, you can go a little easier on the sunscreen.

Apart from needing protection from excessive heat and sun exposure, your skin becomes dryer during the cooler months, making it more susceptible to age-related problems. Receiving carefully chosen and customized treatments during this time of year will help keep your skin moisturized, more vibrant, and young-looking.
