Your Ultimate Fall Glow-Up Guide
As the leaves turn golden and the air takes on a crisp chill, there’s no better time to refresh, repair, and restore your skin. Fall is the ideal season for aesthetic rejuvenation—less sun exposure, cooler weather, and plenty of time to heal and reveal radiant results before the holidays arrive.
At Skin Bar MedSpa in Westminster, Colorado, we believe that every client deserves to look and feel confident in their skin—especially during the most festive time of the year. Whether you’re preparing for family photos, holiday parties, or simply want to start the new year with glowing skin, our expert team has curated the ultimate fall glow-up plan just for you.
This season, our top recommendations include three powerhouse treatments that target multiple layers of your skin’s health and appearance:
- Aquafirme Facial for deep hydration and instant radiance
- Scarlet SRF Microneedling for collagen renewal and tightening
- CO2 Resurfacing with PRP for transformative skin rejuvenation
Together, these treatments form the foundation of a Colorado med spa glow-up plan designed to leave you luminous, refreshed, and camera-ready before the holiday rush.
Why Fall Is the Best Time for Skin Rejuvenation
Before diving into each treatment, it’s worth understanding why fall provides the perfect backdrop for advanced skincare.
1. Less Sun Exposure
Summer’s intense UV rays can make recovery from treatments like laser resurfacing or microneedling more difficult. Cooler weather means reduced sunlight, which minimizes the risk of post-treatment pigmentation and helps the skin heal evenly.
2. Perfect Recovery Conditions
With the drop in temperature and humidity, your skin is less exposed to sweat and environmental stressors, making the recovery process smoother and more comfortable.
3. Pre-Holiday Preparation
Most aesthetic procedures take a few weeks to fully show results. Starting your treatments in early to mid-fall ensures your skin will be glowing and refreshed just in time for holiday events and photos.
4. Ideal for Collagen Regeneration
Many rejuvenating treatments stimulate collagen production, which naturally takes time to build. Beginning in fall gives your skin the necessary weeks to reveal smoother, firmer, and healthier results before the festivities.
Aquafirme Facial
Hydration Meets Deep Renewal
What Is Aquafirme?
The Aquafirme Facial is a revolutionary multi-step treatment that combines exfoliation, hydration, oxygenation, and infusion of nutrient-rich serums to restore your skin’s natural vitality. Using EVO and EXO2 technologies, Aquafirme cleanses the pores, stimulates circulation, and deeply nourishes the skin—leaving you with a luminous, hydrated glow that lasts.
Key Benefits
- Deep exfoliation removes dull, dead cells
- Infusion of antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid enhances skin health
- Oxygenation revives tired, stressed skin
- Immediate visible radiance
- Safe and effective for all skin types
- Zero downtime, making it a perfect lunch-hour facial
When to Schedule
Aquafirme is the ideal starting point for your fall rejuvenation journey.
- First session: Early in the season to prep your skin
- Maintenance: Every 4–6 weeks to sustain hydration and glow
- Pre-event boost: 1–2 weeks before major holiday gatherings
Post-Treatment Care
- Avoid makeup for 24 hours
- Apply a gentle, hydrating moisturizer
- Stay consistent with sunscreen use
- Skip exfoliants or strong actives for two days
Aquafirme is your go-to facial for achieving smooth, hydrated, and glowing skin before layering in deeper treatments like Scarlet SRF or CO2 Resurfacing.
Scarlet SRF
Collagen Stimulation and Skin Tightening
What Is Scarlet SRF?
Scarlet SRF (Short Pulse Radio Frequency) is a cutting-edge microneedling treatment that combines the benefits of traditional microneedling with advanced radiofrequency energy. The result is tighter, firmer, and smoother skin with minimal downtime.
How It Works
Tiny microneedles deliver controlled RF energy into the skin, creating micro-injuries that trigger the body’s natural healing response. This stimulates collagen and elastin production while tightening existing fibers for a firmer, more youthful look.
Key Benefits
- Improves skin elasticity and tone
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
- Minimizes acne scars and enlarged pores
- Tightens sagging skin
- Safe for all skin types
- Minimal discomfort and downtime
When to Schedule
- First session: 6–8 weeks before major events
- Follow-up: 2–3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart for optimal results
- Maintenance: Every 6–12 months for long-term collagen health
Post-Treatment Care
- Expect mild redness for 24–48 hours
- Keep skin clean and hydrated
- Avoid heat and strenuous activity for 1–2 days
- Use SPF diligently
Scarlet SRF bridges the gap between light resurfacing and more intensive rejuvenation. It’s an excellent treatment to pair with Aquafirme and CO2 Resurfacing for multi-layered renewal.
CO2 Resurfacing with PRP
Deep Transformation for Holiday-Ready Skin
What Is CO2 Resurfacing?
CO2 Laser Resurfacing is one of the most powerful skin rejuvenation procedures available. It works by creating micro-channels in the skin using a carbon dioxide laser, removing damaged skin cells, and stimulating the production of new collagen.
At Skin Bar MedSpa, this treatment is elevated with a FREE PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) add-on, enhancing healing and accelerating results through the power of your body’s natural growth factors.
Benefits of CO2 Resurfacing
- Dramatically reduces wrinkles, scars, and sun damage
- Evens out skin tone and texture
- Tightens and smooths skin
- Long-lasting collagen regeneration
- Improves pigmentation and deep lines
- Enhanced recovery and glow with PRP integration
When to Schedule
CO2 resurfacing requires a bit more planning due to downtime.
- Schedule 8–12 weeks before holidays to allow full recovery and optimal results
- Initial redness and peeling: Lasts 1–2 weeks
- Final results: Visible at 6–10 weeks post-treatment
Post-Treatment Care
- Keep the skin moisturized and protected
- Avoid direct sunlight and always wear SPF
- Refrain from using makeup or actives during healing
- Follow your provider’s recovery protocol closely
This treatment delivers dramatic, long-term transformation and is perfect for those ready to invest in a total skin renewal before the holidays.
Suggested Fall Glow-Up Timeline
| Weeks Before Holidays | Treatment | Goal |
