Let’s face it: summer can be tough on your skin. Prolonged exposure and harmful UV rays break down collagen and elastin, the proteins that keep skin firm, smooth, and resilient. As these support structures weaken, skin can begin to sag and show signs of premature aging. You may also notice more pigmentation, redness, and uneven skin tone, as sun exposure triggers excess melanin production, leading to brown spots, blotchiness, and discoloration.
Dr. Rebecca Baxt, a Bergen County, NJ board-certified dermatologist spoke about these concerns in her August 2026 blog, advising, “Your skin is at risk for more than sunburns and sun damage during the summer months.” (Read: What Effect Does Extreme Heat Have on Your Skin?)
“While you try to avoid sun-damaged skin (photoaging), by staying out of the sun, always applying sunscreen, wearing a hat, protective clothing, and avoiding sunlight in the middle of the day, it is not always possible,” says Dr. Baxt. “There are many options to repair sun damaged skin during the fall season and adopt or return to a healthy skincare regiment.”

Renew and Rejuvenate Your Skin This Fall
Dr. Rebecca Baxt advises that skin damage and premature aging, including hyperpigmentation, uneven and blotchy skin, age spots, redness, and fine lines, can often be improved with laser and light-based treatments, chemical peels, and other advanced skin rejuvenation procedures.
Dr. Baxt’s Top Five Fall Skin Rejuvenation Treatments
Fall is the perfect time to repair summer skin damage and restore a healthy, youthful glow. Dr. Baxt recommends these five proven skin rejuvenation treatments to refresh and renew your skin:
#1 Fraxel® Dual Laser Resurfacing
Fraxel® Dual is an FDA-approved laser treatment that targets signs of sun damage, fine lines, wrinkles, uneven texture, and pigmentation. By creating thousands of microscopic treatment zones beneath the skin’s surface, Fraxel® stimulates your body’s natural healing response and generates new collagen production. It remains one of the most trusted and effective laser resurfacing treatments available today.
#2 Clear + Brilliant®
Often referred to as a “gentler Fraxel,” Clear + Brilliant® uses fractional laser technology to create microscopic treatment zones that replace damaged skin with healthier, younger-looking tissue. It’s an excellent option for improving skin tone, texture, and radiance with minimal downtime.
#3 Photofacial Rejuvenation
Often referred to as a “gentler Fraxel,” Clear + Brilliant® uses fractional laser technology to create microscopic treatment zones that replace damaged skin with healthier, younger-looking tissue. It’s an excellent option for improving skin tone, texture, and radiance with minimal downtime.
#4 Ultherapy Prime®
Ultherapy Prime® is a non-surgical skin tightening and lifting treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to target deep layers of tissue. By stimulating your body’s natural collagen-building process, it creates a gradual, natural-looking lift for the face, neck, chest, arms, and abdomen.
#5 Customized Chemical Peels
Chemical peels help reveal smoother, healthier skin by removing damaged outer layers. Dr. Rebecca Baxt personally customizes each peel, selecting the appropriate depth based on your skin concerns and treatment goals. Chemical peels can improve skin damage, uneven pigmentation, fine lines, acne scars, and overall skin texture.
Why Fall Is the Best Time for Laser Treatments and Chemical Peels
Fall is widely considered the ideal season for laser treatments and chemical peels because cooler temperatures and shorter days make it easier to avoid excessive sun exposure. Many laser and light-based procedures require diligent sun protection during the healing process to achieve optimal results and reduce the risk of unwanted pigmentation changes.
At BAXT CosMedical®, Dr. Rebecca Baxt offers a comprehensive range of safe, clinically proven laser, light-based, and skin resurfacing treatments designed to repair sun damage, stimulate collagen production, and help both men and women achieve healthier, more radiant skin.
