🍂 Post-Summer Skin Rehab: Why Fall Is the Best Time for Resurfacing

Hey friends—Niki here! If summer left your skin feeling a little rough, dull, or sun-stressed, you’re not alone. The good news? Fall is the perfect time to show your skin a little love and undo some of that seasonal damage.

Let’s talk about why this time of year is ideal for treatments like microneedling and Opus Plasma, and how we can help you reset and glow before the holidays. ✨

☀️ What Summer Does to Your Skin

Even if you were diligent with sunscreen (we’re proud of you!), UV rays, heat, and environmental exposure still take a toll.

You might notice:

  • Sun spots or new freckles

  • Dullness and rough texture

  • Fine lines or crepey areas

  • Breakouts or congestion from sweat and SPF

It’s all normal—but we don’t have to live with it.

🍁 Why Fall Is the Best Time to Treat It

Here’s the magic of fall:

Less sun exposure – Shorter days and cooler temps make it easier to protect your skin after treatments.
Perfect pre-holiday timing – You’ll be glowing just in time for Thanksgiving, parties, and holiday photos.
Better long-term results – Addressing sun damage early can help prevent long-term issues like deep wrinkles and stubborn pigmentation.

✨ Microneedling vs. Opus: What’s the Difference?

At Helton House, we offer both microneedling and Opus Plasma because they work beautifully—on their own or together! Not sure which is right for you? Here's a quick side-by-side:

Treatment Best For Downtime Results Seen
Microneedling Fine lines, large pores, texture, early acne scars Minimal (1–2 days of redness) 4–6 weeks post-treatment
Opus Plasma Sun damage, deep wrinkles, texture, stretch marks, scars Moderate (3–7 days of redness/flaking) 1–2 weeks post-treatment

Not sure which one to choose? We’ll help you decide based on your skin goals, timeline, and comfort level.
