Fall Refresh: Why September Is the Perfect Time for Skin Treatments
Clemens Face + Body | Brookline, Boston
Summer is a season of sunshine, travel, and outdoor fun—but it can also leave your skin showing the effects of sun exposure, heat, and dehydration. As the weather cools and routines stabilize, September is one of the best times to invest in your skin and face. At Clemens Face + Body, we often recommend the fall and winter months for treatments that focus on repairing summer damage and building long-term collagen support—so your skin is glowing and refreshed by spring.
Why Cooler Months Are Ideal for Collagen-Building Treatments
Collagen stimulators like Radiesse and Sculptra work beneath the skin’s surface to restore firmness, improve elasticity, and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. These treatments don’t just provide instant results—they gradually stimulate your body’s own collagen production over time.
Because they require several weeks to months for collagen to build, starting in the fall means you’ll see the full benefits by spring. Think of it as a long-term investment: cooler months are the “prep time” for radiant, resilient skin when warmer weather (and more social events) arrive.
Collagen Stimulators Explained: Radiesse vs. Sculptra
While both Radiesse and Sculptra stimulate collagen, they do so in slightly different ways.
Radiesse uses calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres to provide immediate volume while also activating collagen production. It’s particularly effective for areas that need definition and lift, such as the jawline or lower face.
Sculptra works with poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) particles to stimulate collagen gradually. Results appear more subtly over time, making it excellent for overall facial rejuvenation, volume loss, and skin laxity.
By choosing the right collagen stimulator for your goals, we can restore structure, improve texture, and create results that age beautifully with you.
Treating Skin After Summer
The end of summer is when patients often notice more visible fine lines, dullness, and uneven texture from months of sun exposure. This is where treatments that hydrate, repair, and rebuild the skin’s foundation become especially valuable. Collagen stimulators, combined with other treatments like microneedling or skin boosters, can target both surface quality and underlying support.
The Value of Starting Now
One of the most rewarding aspects of collagen-stimulating treatments is their longevity. While traditional fillers may last 9–18 months, the collagen you build with Radiesse and Sculptra often provides benefits that extend even further. Starting in September means you’re not just treating today’s concerns—you’re setting up your skin for better texture, improved firmness, and a naturally refreshed look for months to come.
Final Thoughts
September is the perfect reset for your skin and face. By beginning collagen-stimulating treatments in the fall and winter months, you give your body the time it needs to build natural support—leaving you looking and feeling rejuvenated by spring.
