Skin improvement: the season has begun!
Summer is now behind us, and autumn is just around the corner. Sun, sea, swimming pools, and high temperatures may have left their mark on your skin. This is the perfect moment to take a closer look at your skin condition. Did you know that autumn and winter are the ideal seasons to focus on skin improvement?
In this blog, you’ll learn what skin improvement means, why autumn and winter are the best times to begin, and which treatments are most effective. Our skin therapists in Delft and Rijswijk are ready to help you achieve visible, long-lasting skin improvement!
What is skin improvement?
Skin improvement focuses on addressing specific skin concerns while enhancing the overall quality and health of your skin. Unlike regular skincare, which helps maintain daily skin balance, skin improvement and professional skin therapy go deeper — targeting the skin’s structure, tone, and resilience from within.
The goal is long-term skin rejuvenation, achieved by stimulating your skin’s natural repair processes. This helps create stronger, smoother, and more radiant skin. Treatments are effective for concerns such as pigmentation spots, fine lines, acne scars, redness, enlarged pores, or dull skin. At Huidzorg West, we combine advanced in-clinic treatments with active ingredients and a personalized home-care plan for optimal results.
Think of skin improvement like fitness: one workout won’t transform your body, and one facial won’t transform your skin. True results come from consistency, customization, and the right combination of treatments and skincare.
Skin Improvement for Every Age
Every skin is unique and deserves care tailored to its specific needs and goals. Our skin changes over time, and each life stage brings different challenges:
Younger skin (under 25):
This skin type may be prone to acne, enlarged pores, redness, dryness, or even the first signs of aging, such as fine lines or small pigment spots. The focus here is on balancing, purifying, and preventing future skin issues.
Mature skin (25 and older):
After the age of 25, the natural production of collagen and elastin gradually decreases. This can lead to visible aging signs such as loss of firmness, fine lines, and a duller tone. The focus here is on repair, strengthening, and skin rejuvenation treatments.
Autumn & Winter: The Perfect Seasons for Skin Rejuvenation
Autumn and winter are ideal for working intensively on your skin. During these seasons, UV exposure is lower, meaning reduced risk of pigmentation, redness, or irritation. That makes it the best time for deeper skin improvement treatments that may require recovery time and are often avoided in summer.
With gentler sunlight, the cooler months allow us to safely perform more intensive and result-driven treatments, such as:
High-strength chemical peels:
Such as TCA peels or advanced acid combinations that penetrate deeper into the skin. They stimulate cell renewal, refine texture, and target pigmentation, impurities, and fine lines—fully customized to your skin’s needs.
Microneedling combined with a peel:
This intensive dual treatment is ideal for scars, large pores, fine lines, and dull skin. Microneedling creates microchannels that allow active ingredients from the peel to penetrate deeper and work more effectively.
IPL and laser treatments (such as Alexandrite, Nd:YAG, and Erbium Glass):
Used to treat redness, visible blood vessels, pigmentation spots, and (acne) scars. These technologies often deliver the best results when performed as part of a treatment series and are particularly suitable for the less sunny months.
Treatments for skin improvement that require extra protection
These treatments require careful sun protection during the recovery phase—something that’s much easier to manage in autumn and winter. After all, it would be a shame to treat pigmentation spots caused by the sun, only to expose your skin to the same risk again!
In short: from October to March, we can achieve greater and more targeted results for both specific skin concerns and overall skin health. Want to start spring with fresh, glowing skin? Now is the perfect time to begin your skin rejuvenation journey!
