Summer can be hard on your skin. Between increased sun exposure, high temperatures, travel, time outdoors, and changes in your everyday routine, you may notice that your skin looks and feels a little different by the end of the season.
As we transition into September, it’s a great time to assess your skin, address some of the effects of summer, and start thinking about your skincare and aesthetic goals for the months ahead.
At LV Plastic Surgery & Med Spa, treatments are tailored to your individual skin, concerns, and goals. If your complexion is feeling dull, dehydrated, congested, or simply in need of a refresh, here are a few treatments to consider as we head into fall.
Start With a Clean Slate: Dermaplaning
Months of sunscreen, makeup, sweat, and environmental buildup can leave skin feeling less smooth and radiant than usual.
Dermaplaning gently removes dead skin cells and fine facial hair from the surface of the skin, helping create a smoother, brighter-looking complexion. It can also be a great addition to a facial, allowing your skincare products and treatments to work on freshly exfoliated skin.
If your skin is looking dull after summer, dermaplaning is a simple way to start your seasonal reset.
Restore Hydration With a Customized Facial
Even in humid or hot weather, your skin can become dehydrated. Sun exposure, air conditioning, travel, and changes in your routine can all contribute to skin that feels dry, tight, or lackluster.
A customized facial can help replenish hydration while addressing your skin’s specific needs. Depending on your concerns, your treatment can focus on hydration, congestion, texture, or restoring your overall glow.
September is also a good opportunity to reassess your at-home skincare routine and make adjustments as the season begins to change.
Address Texture and Support Collagen With Morpheus8
If improving skin texture, firmness, or overall skin quality is one of your goals, September is a great time to begin thinking about treatments that work below the surface.
Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to support collagen remodeling and improve the appearance of concerns such as uneven texture, fine lines, and skin laxity.
Because collagen production and remodeling happen gradually, starting treatments in early fall can give your skin time to progress as you head toward the holiday season and the end of the year.
Refresh Your Look With Injectables
Your post-summer reset doesn’t have to be limited to skincare.
Neurotoxins, like BOTOX can help soften the appearance of dynamic lines caused by repeated facial movement, while dermal fillers can be used to restore or enhance volume and facial contours, depending on your individual goals.
Rather than waiting until immediately before an event or the holidays, September can be an ideal time to meet with your provider, discuss your goals, and create a treatment plan that makes sense for you.
Start Planning for Fall and Winter Treatments
One of the biggest benefits of September is that it gives you time to plan ahead.
Certain treatments may require multiple sessions, downtime, or time for results to gradually develop. As sun exposure typically begins to decrease heading into fall and winter, your provider may also recommend treatments during these months that weren’t ideal for your skin or lifestyle during peak summer.
Instead of trying to fit everything in right before the holidays, starting the conversation now allows you and your provider to build a thoughtful treatment timeline based on the results you want to achieve.

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to post-summer skin. The right treatment depends on your skin, your concerns, your lifestyle, and your goals.
