Our Top 4 Patient Favs for Reversing Summer Sun Damage This Fall

We all love the sun, but our skin isn't a fan of the consequences. As we close on another gorgeous West Texas summer filled with pool days, patio dinners, and maybe a little too much time under that high West Texas sun. By the time fall arrives, UV rays have left your skin telling a different story than your Instagram feed. Makeup isn’t covering the spots the way it used to, pores suddenly look bigger, and fine lines seem to have crept in overnight. If you’ve been noticing these changes in the mirror, you’re not alone. But here's the great news: you don’t have to live with them.

At Awaken Medical Aesthetics, our patients’ top picks for fall skin repair target the real issues women ages 20–65 bring up every day: sunspots, wrinkles, dryness, and sensitivity. Here’s how we help smooth, brighten, and restore your glow.

Healthy skin is always in season, regardless of what the weather is like. Here's what our patients are loving right now.

1. Sun Spots, Pigmentation & Pores

If  your dark spots are getting more obvious or your realizing that pigmentation actually makes wrinkles and pores look deeper, you’re seeing the classic signs of sun damage. This is one of the most common complaints we hear (and see) from women after summer in the Panhandle.

Patient Favorites:  Laser Treatments For Unwanted Pigmentation

BBL Photofacial breaks apart pigment and sunspots for an even, luminous complexion. Skin ages better because BBL targets the sun damage you can see, in addition to what you can't see lying beneath the skin's surface.

Halo Laser resurfaces skin for texture and tone in one treatment. Lifts off brown sun damage while gently resurfacing pores and fine lines.

Why our patient love it: results are noticeable quickly, downtime is minimal, and you get that fresh, “I woke up like this” skin.

2. Fine Lines, Wrinkles & Collagen Breakdown: The Silent Skin Agers

We all know the sun contributes to wrinkles, but UVA/UVB rays aren’t the only culprits. Screen time from laptops and phones also accelerates collagen breakdown, leading to collagen depletion, or what we like to call “fine line build-up.” In West Texas, where the sun shines nearly year-round, it’s no wonder many women notice their skin aging faster than expected.

Sculptra® & Hyperdiluted Radiesse®

These injectable treatments that stimulate your skin to produce fresh collagen and elastin, along with a natural and subtle “fill” that smooths etched-in lines and restores bounce.

Moxi Laser

A gentle fractional laser that fine-tunes texture, reducing unwanted pigment and bringing back skin radiance.

Together, these treatments don’t just hide aging. They reverse it at the source, giving West Texas women long-term improvements in firmness and tone.

The HydraFacial Advantage

The HydraFacial is often called the "red carpet facial" for good reason—it delivers immediate results with zero downtime. This multi-step treatment uses patented vortex technology to cleanse, extract, and hydrate your skin in a single session. The process begins with gentle exfoliation and resurfacing to remove dead skin cells and reveal fresh, healthy skin underneath. Next, painless extraction removes impurities from pores without the irritation associated with traditional extractions. Finally, intensive moisturizers and antioxidants are infused into the skin, leaving you with an immediate, noticeable glow.

Customization for Your Unique Needs

Keravive: Don't Forget Your Scalp

All that sun exposure from beach days and poolside hangs? Fall is your chance to hit reset before the damage goes deeper. Think of it as preventative maintenance for your face.

3. Dryness, Rough Texture & Dead Skin Buildup: When Skin Looks Dull and Feels Tired

That parched, flaky feeling? It’s not just the change in weather, it’s also the natural slowdown of your skin’s renewal cycle as we age. Dead skin cells pile up, leaving you with a rough texture that steals your glow.

4. Increased Sensitivity & Redness: When Your Skin Easily Overreacts

Photoaging doesn’t just cause wrinkles, it also thins the skin over time, no matter your skin type. For fair-skinned women in particular, the lack of melanin means accelerated aging, leading to rosy cheeks, visible spider veins near the nose, and a “tight” sensitivity after long days outdoors.

Moxi Laser refreshes delicate skin with minimal heat and downtime.
BBL for Vessels targets and reduces visible redness and veins.
Barrier-Repair Skincare soothes irritation and strengthens fragile skin.

By addressing redness at the source, these treatments restore balance and resilience, so your skin feels as good as it looks.
