How to Prep Your Skin for Autumn: Our Must-Do Treatments

As the seasons change, so do the needs of your skin. After months of sun exposure, late nights, and warm weather, autumn often brings dryness, dullness, and the first signs of skin fatigue. The cooler climate is the perfect time to reset and invest in treatments that will keep your complexion healthy, hydrated, and youthful.

At Facial Sculpting, we recommend a combination of cutting-edge procedures to address hydration, firmness, and preventative care. Here are the must-do treatments to help your skin transition beautifully into autumn and beyond.

Non-Surgical Skin Tightening

When cooler weather sets in, many patients notice a loss of firmness and elasticity. Non-surgical skin tightening treatments such as Lynton Focus Dual and Endolift® are ideal solutions.

Both options provide visible improvements with minimal downtime, making them excellent sagging skin treatments to refresh your appearance before the party season begins.

Lynton Focus Dual

A unique combination of Radiofrequency Microneedling and High Intensity Focused Ultrasound that works together to treat skin at all layers to lift, firm and reduce signs of ageing.

Endolift®

A minimally invasive laser treatment that not only tightens but also remodels collagen and reduces small fat deposits. Perfect for redefining the jawline and lifting sagging areas in the lower face and neck.

Hydrating Skin Boosters: Profhilo® & Polynucleotides

As the air becomes cooler and drier, maintaining skin hydration is key. Topical moisturisers help, but injectable skin boosters provide lasting hydration and rejuvenation from within.

Combined, these treatments not only hydrate but also support long-term skin health, ensuring your complexion remains supple even in harsh weather. 

Profhilo®

Known as the “injectable moisturiser,” is rich in hyaluronic acid. It deeply hydrates while also stimulating collagen and elastin, giving your skin a firmer, plumper look.

Polynucleotides

Innovative bio-stimulating injectables that work at a cellular level to repair and regenerate skin. They improve elasticity, reduce inflammation, and restore vitality, making them an exciting addition to the latest anti-aging treatments.

Microneedling for Renewal

Microneedling is a proven treatment that triggers your skin’s natural healing process. By creating controlled micro-injuries, it stimulates new collagen and elastin, improving texture, tone, and resilience.

In autumn, SkinPen is especially effective for: 

  • Softening post-summer pigmentation and sun damage.
  • Reducing early fine lines before they become permanent.
  • Enhancing the absorption of hydrating serums and boosters. 

Many patients notice brighter, smoother skin after just a few sessions, making microneedling an essential part of your autumn skincare routine.

Skin Pen

The first FDA-cleared microneedling device in the world, clinically proven to safely and effectively fight the appearance of neck wrinkles and facial acne scars.

Glow-Boosting & Recovery Treatments

Autumn is the perfect time to restore your skin’s vitality after the stresses of summer. Two treatments that work beautifully together to revive glow and resilience are DermaLux LED Phototherapy and the Aquagold Facial.

Together, these treatments rejuvenate and fortify the skin, leaving it fresh, luminous, and ready to face the changing seasons.

Aquagold Facial

An advanced microchanneling treatment that delivers a customised cocktail of growth factors, vitamins, peptides, and hydration directly into the skin. It’s designed to smooth fine lines, refine pores, and restore radiance - making it an ideal option for post-summer skin recovery.

DermaLux LED Phototherapy

Harnesses the power of therapeutic light to calm inflammation, boosts collagen production, and strengthen the skin’s natural barrier. It’s a gentle, non-invasive way to prepare the skin for cooler months while supporting long-term skin health.

Prevent & Maintain: Ongoing Skin Health Protocols

Beautiful results don’t just happen overnight – they’re the outcome of consistent care. Once you’ve addressed key autumn skin concerns, ongoing treatments help to protect your progress and slow the signs of ageing. 

Signature Skin Programmes – At Facial Sculpting, Dr Nina’s bespoke protocols – such as Infinite Glow and Midlife Midface Rebalancing – are tailored to your unique needs. These programmes combine advanced technologies and expert techniques to deliver long-term maintenance and visible, lasting improvements.

Skin Health Rituals – Regular treatments such as the ones detailed in this article along with personalised chemical peels keep skin bright, resilient, and well-prepared for the harsher winter months.

Subtle Refinements – strategic anti-wrinkle injections can be used early to soften expression lines before they become deeper, while lip enhancement and hydration treatments prevent dryness and maintain a smooth, youthful appearance throughout the colder season.

By integrating these protocols into your skincare journey, you’re not only enhancing your autumn glow but also investing in the long-term health and vitality of your skin. 

Why Timing Matters 

The cooler, lower-UV months of autumn create the perfect environment for skin treatments. With less sun exposure, your skin can heal and regenerate more effectively, giving you the best possible results with minimal risk of pigmentation or irritation. 

By investing in treatments now, you’ll not only recover from summer damage but also get your skin glowing in time for the winter festivities.
