The Top 7 Fall Treatments

With the sun’s intensity waning and the cooler temperatures settling in, the fall season presents the perfect opportunity to explore a range of aesthetic treatments designed to enhance your natural beauty and address those lingering skincare concerns.

This time of year offers a unique window to revamp your appearance and boost your confidence right before the holiday season — without having to worry too much about sun exposure obstructing your results!

Halo Skin Resurfacing

Because the sun is not our friend after laser therapy.

At Donaldson, we consider Halo the quintessential fall treatment thanks to its unique ability to address some of the most popular skin concerns in just one session. Halo skin resurfacing works by using a laser to create tiny pathways in the skin before stimulating the production of natural growth factors. As the skin heals, radiance is restored, fine lines are diminished and you’re left with an undeniable glow.

However, as with many entries on this list, your skin will be left in a vulnerable state after your visit. The shorter days and reduced UV exposure that come with autumn make this the ideal time for all laser treatments.

The Perfect Derma Peel

Because greater outcomes require deeper treatments.

As our most powerful chemical peel, the Perfect Derma is a mid-depth peel that uses an ingredient called “glutathione” to combat free radical damage, restore cellular health and even inhibit the production of melanin to achieve clearer skin. It fights fine lines. It reverses wrinkles. It’s a secret weapon against Rosacea. And the best part? It is safe and effective for all skin tones.

One treatment is enough to tackle some lighter pigmentation problems, but our providers recommend a package of three total treatments to ensure the greatest results. Peeling and flaking also leave your sensitive skin exposed, making fall a more ideal time of the year to start your series.

Laser Hair Removal

Because your tan could get in the way of results.

Fall is widely regarded as the optimal season for laser hair removal mainly because the reduced sun exposure during this time minimizes the risk of post-treatment complications like hyperpigmentation or sunburn, as tanned skin can be more sensitive to laser energy. Cooler temperatures make it more comfortable to undergo the procedure without the discomfort of excessive sweating or overheating.

Starting laser hair removal in the fall allows multiple sessions to be completed before summer returns, ensuring that by the time warmer weather arrives, you can enjoy smoother, hair-free skin.

Lip Filler

Because swelling will subside by party time.

While lip filler can be safely administered all year round, it can be timed perfectly in the fall to give you the full effect just in time for festive gatherings and photo opportunities. Booking your appointment in October and early November also allows enough time for potential touch-ups and for the natural swelling to go down before the holiday season.

Additionally, the fall aesthetic is often associated with deeper, richer colors, making it the consummate season to achieve fuller, more dramatic lips that can beautifully complement your autumn wardrobe and makeup choices.

Just About Every Plastic Surgery Option

Because you finally have time for yourself.

The excitement of summer has begun to slow down, giving way to steady routines and cozy nights at home — making this time of year ideal for plastic surgery recovery. Breast augmentation, tummy tuck and liposuction are all exceedingly popular surgical options in the fall months, partly because the bulkier clothing typically worn during this season provides an opportunity for discreet recovery. This allows patients to comfortably heal without drawing attention to their surgical sites.

By scheduling cosmetic surgery in the fall, patients can also achieve their desired results in advance of the holiday season, ensuring they look and feel their best for family parties and other season social events.
