If you live in Texas, it’s pretty much eternal summertime EVEN when it is supposed to be fall. No matter the season, there’s always a good reason to show off your beautiful skin. And if you live elsewhere where fall is the real deal, you still have plenty of reasons to want the youthful force to be with you. 

When we say “may the force be with you,” you probably think of Star Wars. But we’re not talking Star Wars here (though that’s always a great topic and a lot of fun). 

We’re talking about all manner of lasers and light treatments that give you the power of younger-looking, smoother skin, no matter the season. At DermaTouch RN in San Antonio and Houston, you can choose from an extensive menu of state-of-the-art laser treatments for the face to restore youth and heal skin damage. With treatments like these, you can achieve out of this world beauty in summer, spring, fall, and winter.

However, regardless of where you live, the winter and fall months are the best time to secure your laser treatments for reasons we explain later in this article.

What laser treatments are available at DermaTouch RN?

Available laser treatments at DermaTouch RN for wrinkles and other skin concerns include the Halo, Broadband Light Therapy (BBL), Moxi, CoolPeel, and Sciton ProFractional laser.

The various types of laser treatments for the face can do wonders for the skin. Lasers, like the Halo and BBL (Broadband light) treatments, help to improve skin clarity, reduce age spots, reduce lines and wrinkles, reduce scarring, and more! Plus, fall is the perfect season to try a laser treatment, as explained later in this article.

Some of the most popular laser treatments for the face to try are described below.

HALO
Halo Laser Treatment uses hybrid laser technology, combining non-ablative and ablative wavelengths to stimulate collagen production deep within the skin. The result is improved skin tone and texture.

MOXI
Moxi is a non-ablative, collagen-stimulating skin resurfacing laser treatment. It helps correct early signs of aging, such as sun damage and uneven pigmentation, leaving skin smoother with a more even tone and texture.

BBL
Broadband Light Therapy (BBL) uses intense pulsed light for powerful skin rejuvenation. This penetrating light helps improve the appearance of broken blood vessels, pigmentation issues, and overall skin texture.

SCITON PROFRACTIONAL
The ProFractional laser treatment uses ablative wavelengths to resurface the skin. It reaches deep into the layers of skin to reduce scarring, age spots, and hyperpigmentation while stimulating collagen.

COOLPEEL
CoolPeel is a fractional CO2 laser treatment that resurfaces the superficial layer of skin with minimal downtime. It helps improve the appearance of fine lines, sun damage, pore size, and acne scars, and stimulates collagen for smoother, brighter, more even-toned skin.

What can laser treatments for the face treat?

Laser treatments for the face can treat a myriad of skin conditions and concerns. Lasers can treat:

• Wrinkles
• Fine lines
• Sun damage
• Age spots and brown spots
• Hyperpigmentation
• Laxity
• Broken capillaries
• Visible blood vessels
• Rough texture
• Rosacea 

Following a laser treatment for the face, you will experience fresher, clearer, more rejuvenated, and younger-looking skin. 

What types of laser treatments are best for wrinkles?

All of the lasers mentioned in this article, including the Halo, Moxi, BBL, and Sciton Profractional laser, work well to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. For some, it might take more than one treatment to experience optimal results. 

Do laser treatments for the face hurt?

Laser treatments for the face can feel warming and tingling on the skin. Some of the lasers have a built-in skin cooling system that helps to reduce the heating sensation on the skin. Often, there is little to no downtime following most laser treatments, and any burning or tingling sensation subsides within an hour following treatment. 

What other treatments complement laser treatments?

To look and feel your best, it is often recommended to combine more than one treatment for optimal skin treatment results. Botox and dermal fillers, like Juvederm, are excellent treatments to complement your laser treatments.

Botox Injections

Botox injections reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the forehead, between the eyebrows (frown lines), and crow’s feet (around the outside corners of the eyes). It can also be used to smooth bunny lines across the bridge of the nose, smooth the chin, thin the jawline, lift the corners of the eyebrows, and lift the corners of the mouth.

Botox is also FDA-approved to improve the appearance of platysma lines.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers, like the Juvederm family of fillers, are used for a myriad of treatments. They can be used to contour the chin and cheeks, to balance the two sides of the face, fill in moderate to severe wrinkles, and add volume to the lips.

Why is it good to do laser treatments for the face in the fall or winter?

To prepare for your upcoming laser treatment, you need to remain out of the sun for at least one week, sometimes longer. The same goes for after your laser treatment. So, it’s best to get your facial laser treatment in the fall or winter, when you’re less likely to be in the sun, and it’s easier to stay out of it. Plus, a fall or winter laser treatment can reduce the appearance of the recent sun damage you might have experienced from your fun in the sun during the summer months.
