Fall Treatments To Help Reverse The Look Of Summer Sun Damage

Summer is great for long days outside, vacations, and weekends on the water. Your skin, however, may be ready for a break. Months of sun exposure can leave behind brown spots, uneven tone, dryness, rough texture, and a complexion that looks a little less bright than it did at the beginning of the season. Fall is a great time to give your skin some extra attention. At Cherry Bend, DermaFrac and VI Peel treatments can be used as part of a customized plan to address visible sun damage and refresh your complexion.

Start With DermaFrac

DermaFrac is a microchanneling treatment that combines several steps in one appointment. We begin with cleansing and microdermabrasion to remove dead surface cells. Next, tiny microchannels are created in the skin while a serum selected for your concerns is infused. The treatment finishes with targeted LED light therapy.

DermaFrac can address brown spots and uneven tone along with fine lines, enlarged pores, dryness, acne, and scarring. It also encourages collagen and elastin production, making it a nice option for an overall skin refresh. An appointment takes about 45 to 50 minutes, and there’s no required downtime. You may notice slight redness afterward, but most people can return to their usual activities right away.

Go Deeper With A VI Peel

A VI Peel takes exfoliation further by using a professional chemical solution to encourage damaged surface cells to shed. VI Peel offers different formulations that can address concerns such as pigmentation, signs of aging, and acne. Unlike DermaFrac, you’ll want to plan for some visible peeling. Flaking often begins around day two, with more noticeable peeling around days three through five. By about day seven, most patients have finished peeling and can see their fresher-looking skin underneath.

Plan Your Fall Skin Reset

These two treatments can really complement one another, particularly when pigmentation is a concern. But, timing matters. We’ll set you up with a custom treatment plan that will help you space your appointments based on your skin and goals. Starting this fall gives you time to work on summer damage before holiday events and photos arrive. Schedule a consultation at Cherry Bend, and let’s put together a plan for clearer, smoother, refreshed-looking skin this season.
