Fall is fast approaching and Fraxels are a great treatment to start off the season. Allura’s Fraxel Treatment is one of our most popular laser procedures that is used to improve the texture and appearance of the skin. It is commonly used to address issues such as fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, age spots, acne scars, and uneven skin tone. The Fraxel laser works by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which stimulate the body’s natural healing response and promote the growth of collagen – therefore creating new, healthier skin cells.
Getting a Fall Fraxel laser treatment at the start of the season is a great option for several reasons
Here are a few Reasons to schedule a Fall Fraxel:
Reduced Sun Exposure
Colorado’s fall season typically starts in the month of September; where residents start to feel milder temperatures and spend less time out in the sun compared to the summer months. Since sun protection and limited sun exposure are crucial after Fraxel treatment to protect your investment and optimize results, the fall season can be an ideal time for the procedure.
Your Skin’s Healing Process
A Fraxel treatment does include some downtime for the skin to heal and regenerate. During this time, the treated skin may be red, slightly swollen, and/or slightly uncomfortable. Fall’s cooler weather can make the healing period more comfortable for our clients compared to the hot weather in the summer.
Sun Sensitivity
After a Fraxel laser procedure, your skin may become more sensitive to sunlight. Allura’s providers will always recommend the consistent use of SPF however receiving the treatment in the fall means that you’ll be less likely to be exposed to intense sunlight, therefore reducing the risk of sunburn and limiting further sun damage.
Long-Term Results
It usually takes a few weeks to see the full benefits of Fraxel treatment as the skin gradually improves in texture and appearance. By having the treatment in the fall, you can expect to see significant improvements by the time the holiday season arrives and the invitations to holiday parties start hitting your inbox. Your skin will be looking its best for holiday photos and company Christmas parties.
It is important to consider that a Fraxel laser treatment at Allura is not suitable for every client we see.
