Introduction: Why is renewal timing important?
Receiving skin rejuvenation services, such as lasers, fillers, microneedling, and chemical peels, at the right time can significantly impact the final result, recovery time, and the likelihood of complications. Choosing the wrong time can cause blemishes, inflammation, or even prolong the longevity of results.
💎The effect of seasons on the skin and its renewal process
Each season has its own characteristics that may affect the skin:
Spring:
In spring, the weather is typically mild, but the presence of pollen and allergens can irritate the skin. However, spring is a great time to start gentle skin rejuvenation treatments as the skin adjusts to the new climate.
Summer:
Summer brings intense heat, excessive sweating, and intense sunlight. These conditions increase the risk of spots, inflammation, and other complications with many skin rejuvenation procedures, such as laser or chemical peels. Post-treatment skin care becomes more challenging during this season.
Fall:
Fall is one of the best seasons for skin rejuvenation. The temperatures are moderate and the amount of sunlight is reduced, making it ideal for more effective treatments such as fractional laser, chemical peels, or microneedling.
Winter:
The weather is cold and dry in winter, and the sun’s rays are weaker. This is a great time for deeper treatments such as peels and laser skin rejuvenation. Naturally, due to the dry air, using moisturizers and hydrating the skin becomes even more important.
📍Summer season: why might not be appropriate?
In the summer, some skin rejuvenation procedures, such as laser or deep peels, are not recommended for the following reasons:
Increased skin sensitivity to light: The skin becomes more sensitive after laser treatment, and intense sunlight may cause blotches.
Excessive sweating: This impedes rapid healing and increases the risk of inflammation and infection.
Excessive outdoor activity: Direct sunlight is difficult to avoid.
📍 Autumn: The Golden Season for Skin Renewal
Fall is typically the ideal time for skin rejuvenation treatments. Why?
Less sun exposure: The sun’s rays are weaker, reducing the risk of skin blemishes.
The right temperature: The weather is neither too hot nor too cold, preventing skin irritation.
Preparing for winter and the holidays: Many people want to look younger before the party season.
📍Services provided in the fall:
Fractional laser or carbon dioxide laser skin resurfacing
Chemical peeling
Microneedling with platelet-rich plasma
Fat or filler injections
📍Winter: The perfect second choice for renewal
Winter is also a great season for skin renewal. Among its advantages:
The sun’s rays are less intense than in the fall.
Further breakouts occur less frequently.
The skin has a chance to regenerate itself in preparation for the coming summer.
📍Important precautions in winter:
Use moisturizers regularly.
Drink enough water.
Use sunscreen, even on cloudy days.
📍Spring: A transitional season and a good time for gentle treatments.
You can also perform a skin rejuvenation procedure in the spring, but you should use gentler methods and prepare the skin for summer.
📍Spring-friendly services:
- Hydrodermabrasion
Facial Treatments
Mesotherapy for Skin Rejuvenation
Botox or Fillers for Superficial Wrinkles
📍When should you not undergo a rejuvenation procedure?
Before traveling to tropical or desert areas
During pregnancy or breastfeeding (for some procedures)
When the skin is inflamed, has active acne, or is infected
📍Doctors' opinions on the appropriate season
Most dermatologists and aestheticians recommend the following:
“Fall and winter are the best seasons for laser treatments and deep skin rejuvenation, as the skin is less exposed to UV rays.”
📌Conclusion
If you’re looking for the best results from skin rejuvenation treatments, fall is the ideal season to begin. Considering the weather and skin condition, this season allows for effective and deep treatments. Winter is a good alternative, but extra caution should be exercised in the summer.
