Preparing Your Skin for the Transition from Summer to Fall

In Quebec, the change of seasons is often striking: after the warm summer months, when the skin is exposed to sun, heat, and environmental stressors, autumn arrives with its cool breezes, fluctuating temperatures, and the return of indoor heating. This contrast can weaken the skin barrier, leading to dehydration, redness, pigmentation spots, and a duller complexion.

It’s no surprise that many clients visit medical aesthetic clinics during this period to restore vitality and radiance to their skin. Fortunately, several specialized treatments can help ease this transition and optimize skin health.

Ideal In-Clinic Treatments for Fall

Autumn is the perfect season to give your skin a “boost.” At Medicart + Epiderma, we recommend a range of treatments to help restore balance to your skin:

• HydraFacial: deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates to revive radiance.

• OxyGeneo: exfoliates, oxygenates, and infuses nourishing active ingredients.

• Facials and Peels: customized for each skin type, they hydrate, strengthen, and enhance luminosity.

• Clear + Brilliant: a resurfacing laser that improves skin texture and helps prevent early signs of aging.

• Vbeam Laser: ideal for reducing redness and rosacea while soothing sensitive skin.

Reducing the Effects of Summer Sun Exposure

After months of sun exposure, pigmentation spots often appear. Some medical aesthetic treatments offered at our clinics are particularly effective:

• Photorejuvenation (IPL): reduces pigmentation spots and evens out skin tone.

• Clear + Brilliant (Permea): a gentle laser that brightens and illuminates the skin.

• Mild Peels: stimulate cell renewal and contribute to a more uniform complexion.

Adjusting Your Skincare Routine for Fall

Medical aesthetic treatments are even more effective when combined with a proper at-home skincare routine. Because every skin type is unique, a personalized skin analysis—such as with the Visia technology available at Medicart Ville Saint-Laurent—can help create a tailored skincare plan.
