As the seasons change, so does your skin. Fall in South Carolina brings cooler temperatures, drier air, and a break from intense summer sun, making it the ideal time to refresh and repair your skin. At About Face Aesthetics, we help clients in Chapin, Union, and across the Midlands transition their skincare routines and treatments for maximum results during the fall months.

Whether you’re dealing with post-summer sun damage or looking to boost your glow before the holidays, here are our top recommended fall treatments and why they work so well this time of year.

Why Fall Is the Best Time for Skin Renewal

Summer takes a toll on your skin, UV exposure, sweat, and travel can lead to dullness, dehydration, and pigmentation. Fall offers the perfect window for more intensive treatments, since:

• You’re likely spending less time in direct sun
  
  
• Cooler temperatures help reduce inflammation and sensitivity
  
  
• You can build a stronger skincare routine without humidity interfering
  
  

This season is all about repairing damage, rebuilding skin health, and preparing for the dry winter ahead.

1. Chemical Peels for Post-Summer Sun Damage

If you spent time at the lake, beach, or pool this summer, your skin might be showing signs of sun exposure like dark spots, uneven tone, or rough texture. A professional chemical peel helps:

• Exfoliate dead skin cells
  
  
• Brighten and even your complexion
  
  
• Fade pigmentation and acne scars
  
  
• Boost collagen production
  
  

We customize the strength and ingredients of each peel based on your skin type and goals. Most peels take just 30–45 minutes with light flaking or downtime.

Pair with: Medical-grade skincare for at-home maintenance

Timing tip: Schedule a peel 2–3 weeks before any major events or photos

2. Microneedling with RF for Texture and Tightening

Microneedling creates tiny micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate collagen, while radiofrequency (RF) adds gentle heat to boost tightening and rejuvenation. This powerful combo helps with:

• Enlarged pores
  
  
• Fine lines and wrinkles
  
  
• Skin laxity (especially around the jawline)
  
  
• Post-acne scarring
  
  

Fall is the ideal season to start microneedling because sun exposure is lower, and results peak just in time for holiday gatherings or photos.

Best for: Clients in their 30s–50s looking for non-surgical facial tightening

Downtime: Minimal; some redness for 1–2 days

3. Tox for Smoother, More Rested Expressions

If summer stress (or sun squinting) left you with deepened frown lines or crow’s feet, fall is the time to refresh your look. Tox – Wrinkle Injections work by gently relaxing the muscles that cause expression lines, helping your skin:

• Look smoother and more youthful
  
  
• Prevent lines from becoming deeper
  
  
• Improve how makeup applies (hello, holiday photos!)
  
  

Tox takes about 5–7 days to settle and can be done over a lunch break.

Good to know: If you’re new to tox, we’ll walk you through it and keep the look soft and natural.

Longevity: Results last about 3–4 months

Book your Tox consultation in Chapin or Union.

4. Regenerative Plasma Therapy for Natural Radiance

This advanced treatment uses your body’s own plasma to stimulate collagen, brighten skin, and reduce under-eye hollows or dullness. It’s a favorite for women in the Midlands who want to:

• Improve under-eye circles
  
  
• Add volume without filler
  
  
• Restore glow without downtime
  
  

Fall is perfect for this treatment because it can be paired with microneedling or used solo to support seasonal skin shifts.

Pro tip: Ideal for clients seeking a natural, long-term approach to aging well

Downtime: Very minimal, just some puffiness for a day
