How to Reset Your Skin After Summer: The Expert's Guide to Fall Treatments

There's nothing like a summer in the Midwest: lake days, creamy cones, and catching every last sun ray until the sun sets - but your skin doesn't always love the extra UV exposure, sweat, and sunscreen. Fall is the ideal time to restore your glow with personalized facials and advanced treatments like Moxi, BBL, and microneedling with PRP. Here's why — and what actually works.

Summer can be tough on your skin. Even if you wore SPF, the combination of heat, sun, and sweat can lead to visible changes like dullness, rough texture, clogged pores, redness, and new pigmentation. Many people don’t realize how much damage builds up until it starts to show. As we head into fall, with cooler temps and less sun exposure, it’s the perfect season to reset and repair your skin. At Nova MedSpa, we combine personalized facials with light, laser, and microneedling treatments to help reverse summer damage and reveal clearer, brighter, healthier skin.

Why Fall is Ideal for Skin Renewal:

• UV damage becomes visible after weeks of sun exposure, especially in the form of brown spots or red patches.

• Skin barrier issues are common in late summer due to sweat, product overload, and increased oil or breakout activity.

• Cooler weather allows for deeper treatments with less risk of post-treatment sun exposure.

Step 1: Facials

What Makes Nova Facials Different?

Not all facials are created equal. At Nova, our Signature Facial is results-driven and completely personalized — no cookie-cutter steps or one-size-fits-all products. For just $125, you’ll receive a full-service facial that typically includes:

• Microdermabrasion to gently resurface and smooth the skin

• A customized chemical peel (selected based on your skin’s needs that day)

• Enzymatic or therapeutic mask

• Therapeutic massage to support lymphatic drainage and relaxation

• Medical-grade skincare throughout the entire treatment

• Optional additions like extractions or dermaplanning, depending on your skin’s condition

Step 2:

Deeper Repair: Moxi & BBL

Moxi (Laser)

Moxi is a non-ablative fractional laser that delivers gentle, controlled energy to the skin. It:

• Improves skin texture and tone

• Improves fine lines, wrinkles, and pore size

• Reduces hard-to-treat pigmentation such as melasma

• Requires minimal downtime (think: light flaking, not peeling)

• It’s ideal for first-time laser clients or those looking to maintain results year-round.

  
  

BBL (BroadBand Light)

BBL uses targeted light energy to treat:

• Sunspots and brown pigmentation

• Redness and broken capillaries

• Uneven skin tone and signs of sun aging

• It’s fast, precise, and clinically proven to improve skin clarity with little to no recovery time.

Step 3:

Renew Your Glow with Microneedling + PRP:

Another service perfect for your Fall reset is microneedling with PRP — a collagen-stimulating treatment that improves texture, scarring, pores, and skin firmness. PRP (platelet-rich plasma) works as a natural growth factor to accelerate healing and boost new collagen and skin cell formation.

At Nova, we offer two microneedling options:

Traditional Microneedling with PRP

• Deeper, customizable approach

• Targets fine lines, acne scarring, texture irregularities

• PRP enhances recovery and results with natural growth factors

AquaGold Infusion Microneedling

• Ultra-fine microneedling using 24K gold needles

• Delivers a custom cocktail into the skin (we use a proprietary blend of PRP, Botox, Vitamin C, and dermal filler)

• Perfect for a radiant, glassy skin finish with minimal downtime

Let's Put It All Together

What to Expect from a Fall Reset at Nova:
