After months of sunshine, pool days, and outdoor adventures, your skin may be telling a different story than your summer memories. Sun exposure, heat, and environmental stressors can leave behind dehydration, dark spots, breakouts, and fine lines.
September is the ideal time for a skincare reset, repairing summer damage and preparing your skin for the cooler, drier months ahead. At Renova Aesthetics, we combine advanced in-office treatments with medical-grade skincare to help your skin recover, glow, and thrive into fall.
How Summer Impacts Skin Health
Even if you wore SPF daily, summer elements can still take a toll on your skin:
- UV damage: Causes pigmentation, sun spots, and premature aging.
- Heat & humidity: Lead to excess oil, clogged pores, and breakouts.
- Chlorine & salt water: Strip the skin’s protective barrier, causing dryness and irritation.
- Sweat & sunscreen buildup: Can trigger congestion and uneven texture.
The good news? With the right treatments and skincare routine, most of this damage can be corrected and prevented from worsening.
Step 1: Professional Treatments for Resetting Skin
September is one of the busiest months at Renova because clients love to press refresh after summer. Our go-to treatments for post-summer repair include:
1. BBL HERO for Sun Damage
BBL HERO (Broadband Light) is our gold standard for fading sun spots, freckles, and pigmentation. It also stimulates collagen to restore youthful glow.
2. MOXI Laser for Gentle Resurfacing
Perfect for all skin types, MOXI targets uneven tone and texture with minimal downtime, making it a great “skin refresh” for early fall.
3. HydraFacial for Deep Cleansing
Summer congestion? HydraFacial clears out impurities, exfoliates dull skin, and floods your skin with antioxidants and hydration.
4. VISIA Skin Analysis for Mapping Damage
Our VISIA technology shows exactly how much sun damage and redness you’ve accumulated, helping us personalize your fall skincare plan.
Step 2: Update Your At-Home Skincare
Your skin’s needs shift with the seasons. In September, swap out lighter summer products for nourishing, corrective formulas. Amanda and our providers recommend:
- Medical-grade Vitamin C serum → Brightens sun damage and prevents free-radical stress.
- Retinol or Retinoid → Repairs cellular damage and smooths texture.
- Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid serum → Restores moisture lost from sun and chlorine.
- Barrier-repairing moisturizer → Strengthens the skin against dryness.
- Broad-Spectrum SPF 30+ → Yes, even in fall! UV rays still cause damage year-round.

Step 3: Support Skin from the Inside Out
Skincare isn’t just topical, it’s holistic. As you reset this September:
- Drink more water to replenish hydration.
- Add antioxidant-rich foods (berries, leafy greens, nuts).
- Prioritize sleep to give your skin recovery time.
- Reduce alcohol and sugar, both of which accelerate inflammation and aging.
FAQs: Fall Skincare Reset
Q: Can I start laser treatments right after summer?
A: Yes. Fall is the perfect time for laser treatments since sun exposure is reduced.
Q: Do I still need SPF in September?
A: Absolutely. UV rays don’t disappear in cooler weather, and daily protection is key to preventing further damage.
Q: How soon will I see results from treatments like BBL or MOXI?
A: Many clients notice brighter, clearer skin within 1–2 weeks, with continued improvement over the following months.
