As we transition from summer to fall, the weather starts to cool, and our skin needs change. 

Although the weather in the greater Phoenix area is pleasant most of the year, the dry air and cooler weather can affect our skin in many ways. 

In this week’s blog, we talk about 3 standout treatments that will hydrate and rejuvenate your skin: AquaFirme XS hydrating facial, Scarlet RF® microneedling and the Unicorn facial.

The Aquafirme XS Hydrating Facial

The Aquafirme XS hydrating facial is the perfect treatment for fall skincare. The dry, desert air here in Arizona can leave our skin feeling dry and dehydrated.

This facial is specifically designed to hydrate and nourish the skin, leaving it looking plump and radiant.

The AquaFirme XS facial uses a combination of advanced technologies to deeply cleanse, exfoliate, and moisturize the skin. The EVO handpiece removes impurities from the skin using micro-cupping technology while the EXO2 handpiece promotes blood circulation with vibrating massage.

This treatment is suitable for all skin types and can address concerns such as uneven skin tone, congestion, texture, and tone. With no downtime, you will leave feeling relaxed and refreshed with visible improvements in your skin’s appearance.

If you are struggling with…

  • Dull, dry skin
  • Rough texture and enlarged pores
  • Sun damage and hyperpigmentation
  • Aging skin with loss of elasticity and firmness

…then the Aquafirme XS hydrating facial is for you!

Scarlet RF® Microneedling

Another fantastic treatment for fall skincare is Scarlet RF® microneedling.

Microneedling involves using tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production and improving overall skin health. Scarlet RF® takes this treatment to the next level by combining it with radiofrequency energy.  

This technology targets the deeper layers of the skin, promoting collagen production and improving skin elasticity. It is suitable for all skin types and can address concerns such as fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, uneven skin tone, and enlarged pores.

This treatment is also customizable, meaning it can be tailored to your specific skin concerns for optimal results. And with minimal downtime, you can easily incorporate this into your fall skincare routine!

This treatment is great for:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Scarring (acne, surgical, etc.)
  • Uneven skin tone and texture
  • Enlarged pores
  • Loose skin on the scalp, face, neck and chest, abdomen, arms, inner thighs and knees

The Unicorn Facial (PRX-T33)

The Unicorn Facial is an innovative treatment that combines the benefits of PRX-T33, a non-peeling chemical peel, with microneedling for a more natural approach to skincare.

PRX-T33 detoxifies the skin, stimulates collagen production, and smoothes the complexion, while microneedling stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. This dual-action treatment targets both the deeper layers of the dermis and the skin’s surface, resulting in a hydrated, radiant glow.

The end result is a more youthful appearance with tighter, brighter skin.

This treatment is great for:

  • Aging skin with loss of elasticity and firmness
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Uneven skin tone and texture
  • Scarring from acne or injury
  • Sun damage and hyperpigmentation
  • Melasma
  • Age spots
  • Rosacea

Fall Skincare Tips

In addition to these treatments, here are some tips for your skincare routine during the fall season:

  • Use a gentle cleanser to avoid stripping your skin barrier of essential moisture. Look for natural products formulated for sensitive skin to prevent irritation.
  • Moisturize regularly with natural hydrating creams or lightweight moisturizers that contain hyaluronic acid to combat dryness and keep your skin hydrated and plump. This is especially important for drier and mature skin types.
  • Use hyaluronic acid serum to boost hydration and plumpness in the skin. You can also use this serum on your lips to keep them moist. Apply the serum to the lips and then use a small amount of a natural chapstick to seal it in. Use at bedtime and wake up with plump, moisturized lips!
  • Exfoliate once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells and promote cell turnover. This can help reduce the appearance of dark spots and prevent breakouts in acne-prone skin.
  • Incorporate active ingredients like vitamin C serum into your routine to brighten the complexion and enhance your skin’s overall health. It’s beneficial for all skin types, including oily and combination skin.
  • Protect your skin from harsh weather conditions by wearing sunscreen daily, and shield your face with a scarf or hat. Don’t forget to use lip balm to keep your lips moisturized.
  • Lastly, stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water and incorporating hydrating foods like fruits and vegetables into your diet to maintain your skin’s glow throughout the season.
