Taking care of your skin starts at home.
To get your skin in shape for the Fall, you’ll want to use acids or retinoids.
Adding acids to your routine can help to remove dead skin cells, moisturize, clarify, and exfoliate. It’s typical for skin to get drier in the colder months, so an acid will help combat any unwanted flakiness. Look for products with Salicylic Acid, Glycolic Acid or Lactic Acid like my Triple Action Acne Pads, which contains all three!
If you’re looking to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and even help acne, retinoids are the way to go! They help produce collagen, fade age spots, and help cell turnover for more youthful luminous skin. Take retinol to the next level with my Tretinol 1% which has the same delivery system at Tretinoine. Watch the video below for other ingredients you can use with Retinol to give it a boost!
Time to lighten up Buttercup!
Lighteners help to lighten the skin, treating hyperpigmentation, melasma, lighten and even PIH (Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation). They can also help fade liver spots, freckles and other skin discoloration.
For those with more mild correction needed, my HQ 2% Lightning Pads will lighten and brighten pigment, and are also great in‑office for pre and post procedure. If you’re looking for an option without Hydroquinone, try my Phyto‑Fade NoQuinone Cream for similar results, as seen below! For more severe conditions like PIH, or melasma you will need our Illumibright pads.
Dark spots and hyperpigmentation can be effectively treated with a variety of methods. Chemical peels and laser treatments are among the most popular options. PicoSure laser, for example, targets dark spots by breaking up excess pigment in the skin, helping to fade sun damage, melasma, and acne scars.
For milder cases, glycolic acid or TCA peels can improve skin tone and reduce pigmentation over time. These peels work by removing the outer layer of the skin, encouraging new skin growth that is more evenly toned.
Another option is lightening creams containing hydroquinone, which helps to gradually fade hyperpigmentation. For those looking for an alternative to hydroquinone, products with ingredients like kojic acid or azelaic acid can also be effective.
Combat dry skin by reinforcing the barrier with more nourishing creams. Giving more moisture back to your skin will not only eliminate dry spots, but will help fine lines and wrinkles, while fortifying your skin.
I’m partial to my Marine Miracle Cream, which brightens and evens skin tone, combats hyperpigmentation AND firms and hydrates with advanced peptides. Once you try this, you will never go back to your old cream.
Everyone’s skin is different, and it’s important to select treatments that suit your specific skin type and concerns. For those with oily or acne-prone skin, treatments like chemical peels or microneedling can help manage breakouts and reduce acne scars.
For dry skin, hydration-focused treatments like Hydrafacial or hyaluronic acid fillers work well to restore moisture and plumpness. Those with sensitive skin might benefit from less aggressive options such as non-ablative lasers or mild chemical peels, which minimize irritation while still improving texture and tone.
Patients dealing with hyperpigmentation or melasma can opt for lightening treatments, including PicoSure laser or targeted creams containing ingredients like kojic acid. Meanwhile, individuals looking for anti-aging solutions may prefer Botox, fillers, or radio frequency microneedling to smooth wrinkles and tighten skin.
Laser resurfacing is a powerful treatment that targets the outer layers of the skin to improve texture, tone, and reduce signs of aging. There are two types: ablative and non-ablative lasers. Ablative lasers remove the top layer of skin, while non-ablative lasers, like Fraxel or Clear + Brilliant, work beneath the surface without damaging the outer layer.
Non-ablative lasers are ideal for treating sun damage, fine lines, and uneven skin tone. They stimulate collagen production, which helps improve the skin’s overall appearance. These lasers are less aggressive than ablative options, meaning shorter recovery times and fewer side effects.
Patients often experience slight redness or sensitivity for a few days following the procedure. Results typically improve over several sessions, with full effects becoming visible after a few months.
You don’t have to be alone in your skincare! In‑office treatments with experienced professionals can take your skincare routine to the next level and give you amazing results you can’t achieve at home.
To start, chemical peels are a great foundation for getting your skin ready for the changing seasons!
By producing a controlled injury to the tissue, chemical peels speed up the growth of new skin. It’s one of the simplest and least invasive ways to improve the appearance of pores, texture, tone, pigment, sun damage, fine lines, acne, and more.
Four that I recommend for Fall are:
And ALL of these are offered at FACE!
Radio frequency microneedling combines two effective techniques: microneedling and radio frequency energy. Microneedling uses tiny needles to create small channels in the skin. This triggers the body’s natural healing process, boosting collagen and elastin production.
The addition of radio frequency energy helps tighten the skin and improve its texture. This treatment is often used to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars. It’s also great for improving skin firmness and reducing the appearance of pores.
Mild redness or swelling may occur after treatment, but these effects usually subside within 24-48 hours. This treatment has minimal downtime, making it a popular option for those looking to rejuvenate their skin without significant recovery time.
Get into the laser game with fractional ablative lasers. These lasers resurface your skin by removing layers of damaged skin, while creating micro injuries to help rebuild collagen. They can also treat hyperpigmentation, fine and deep wrinkles, scars and skin lesions.
Three I recommend are:
And don’t forget to follow up your laser treatments with the lightener we talked about earlier and to stay out of the sun!
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a natural treatment that uses the body’s own blood to rejuvenate the skin. During the procedure, a small amount of the patient’s blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelets from the rest of the blood. The concentrated platelets are then injected into the skin using techniques similar to microneedling.
PRP is known to boost collagen production, improve skin texture, and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars. It’s also popular for enhancing overall skin health and glow, making it a great option for patients looking for a natural solution to rejuvenate their skin.
Because the procedure uses the patient’s own blood, the risk of allergic reactions is minimal. Results develop gradually over a few weeks as the skin repairs and regenerates, with improvements lasting several months.
Botox is an injectable treatment made from botulinum toxin. It relaxes muscles that cause wrinkles, particularly in areas like the forehead, around the eyes, and the mouth. By reducing muscle activity, it smooths out existing fine lines and helps prevent new ones from forming.
On the other hand, fillers like Restylane and Juvederm contain hyaluronic acid. These are used to restore volume in areas that may have lost their plumpness, such as the lips, cheeks, and under-eyes. Fillers can give a fuller, more youthful appearance to the face.
Both Botox and fillers are quick, minimally invasive treatments. Results from Botox usually last about 3-4 months, while fillers can last anywhere from 6-12 months, depending on the product and treatment area.
Common side effects include mild swelling or bruising, which generally go away in a few days. These treatments require little to no downtime, making them popular choices for those looking to refresh their appearance.
BBL Hero is one of my FAVORITE lasers!
It treats the skin with 4x the speed, and 3x the power, making it the fastest, most effective BBL treatment available on the market. BBL Hero delivers light energy to the upper layers of your skin, taking away your redness, brown spots, sun damage, and dull skin fast all over your face AND body, making it the perfect treatment going into Fall.
Seeing real results is important when deciding on skincare treatments. Many patients find it helpful to view before-and-after photos that show improvements in wrinkles, scarring, dark spots, or overall skin texture. These images provide a visual understanding of what can be achieved with treatments like Botox, chemical peels, laser resurfacing, and fillers.
For example, patients undergoing Fraxel or PicoSure laser treatments for hyperpigmentation often notice a significant reduction in dark spots and more even skin tone within a few sessions. Similarly, those who choose Botox for wrinkle reduction typically see smoother forehead lines and fewer crow’s feet within a few days of treatment.
Energy-based skin tightening treatments use advanced technology to firm the skin by targeting deeper layers without surgery. Devices like Thermage and Ultherapy use radio frequency and ultrasound energy to heat the skin, stimulating collagen production and causing the skin to tighten over time.
These treatments are effective for areas where the skin has started to sag, such as the jawline, neck, and eyelids. Patients usually see gradual improvements over several months as the skin naturally tightens and becomes firmer.
Results can last up to a year or more, making these treatments a convenient option for those wanting to maintain a youthful appearance without the need for surgery. Some patients may experience mild redness or swelling immediately after the procedure, but these side effects usually resolve within a day or two.
