Why Winter Damages Your Skin (And Why Spring Is the Perfect Time to Fix It)
During Michigan winters, your skin battles constant dehydration from forced-air heating, a weakened moisture barrier from the cold, reduced collagen production due to low UV stimulation, and accumulated dead skin cells that make your complexion look gray and flat.
By the time March and April arrive, the damage is done, but it is also fully repairable. Spring offers lower UV intensity than summer (making it safer to do certain laser and resurfacing treatments), and treatments done now give your skin time to heal and glow up before peak summer season.
Pro tip from Lynn: Spring is our most popular season for laser and resurfacing treatments precisely because you have time to heal before heavy sun exposure begins.
The Best Spring Skin Treatments Available at The Aesthetic Co.
1. BBL Heroic & Moxi Laser – Erase Winter Sun Damage and Dullness
If your skin looks uneven, discolored, or just lacks that luminous quality it had last summer, laser rejuvenation is the most effective way to reset it. At The Aesthetic Co., we offer two industry-leading Sciton laser treatments:
• BBL Heroic targets pigmentation, redness, sunspots, and vascular concerns. It uses broad-spectrum light to correct damage at the surface while stimulating collagen beneath.
• Moxi is a gentler fractional laser that improves overall skin tone and texture – perfect for patients who want results with minimal downtime.
• Moxi + BBL Combo delivers the most comprehensive reset, addressing texture and discoloration in a single session.
Spring is the ideal window for laser treatments because UV exposure is still relatively low, reducing the risk of post-treatment hyperpigmentation. Most clients see significant improvement in skin clarity and glow within 2–4 weeks.
2. Microneedling – Rebuild Collagen Lost Over Winter
Cold weather slows collagen production, and that loss shows up as fine lines, lackluster texture, and a general flatness to the skin. Microneedling works by creating controlled micro-channels in the skin that trigger your body’s natural healing response — flooding the area with new collagen and elastin.
At The Aesthetic Co., we often combine microneedling with PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) for an enhanced result. The PRF, drawn from your own blood, is applied during treatment to supercharge healing and deliver growth factors directly where they are needed most.
Most clients see noticeable improvement in skin texture and radiance after just one session, with optimal results after a series of three.
3. PRF & EZ PRF — Your Body’s Own Renewal, Amplified
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is one of the most powerful regenerative treatments available today — and it uses nothing but your own biology. By concentrating your blood’s natural growth factors and applying them to the skin (or injecting them), PRF stimulates deep tissue repair and long-term collagen renewal.
EZ PRF (EZ Gel) takes this a step further, creating a gel-like consistency that can also be used as a natural filler to restore volume and improve skin quality simultaneously.
Because PRF uses your own blood, there is no risk of allergic reaction and results continue to improve over weeks as the growth factors do their work. Spring is an especially good time to start, as your skin is primed for renewal.
4. Botox & Dysport Touch-Ups — Look Refreshed for Every Spring Occasion
Spring fills up fast with events: Easter gatherings, graduation parties, weddings, and Mother’s Day brunches. If your Botox or Dysport results have faded over the winter months, now is the time to refresh.
At The Aesthetic Co., we specialize in natural-looking injectable results. Whether you want to soften forehead lines, relax crow’s feet, or smooth the area between your brows, a spring touch-up ensures you look refreshed and rested for every occasion on your calendar.

5. Sculptra — The Long-Game Treatment for a Youthful Spring Glow
If volume loss is your concern — hollowed cheeks, temples, or a tired-looking midface — Sculptra is one of the most powerful tools we have. Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra works by stimulating your own collagen production over time, delivering subtle, progressive results that look completely natural.
Starting Sculptra in spring means you are building your results through the summer and will look your best heading into fall events and the holiday season. Most clients complete a series of 2–3 sessions spaced 6–8 weeks apart.
How to Choose the Right Spring Treatment for Your Skin
Not sure where to start? Here is a quick guide:
• Dull, uneven skin tone or sun spots → BBL Heroic or Moxi Laser
• Rough texture, fine lines, or post-acne scarring → Microneedling + PRF
• Volume loss or deep folds → Sculptra or Dermal Filler
• Forehead lines, crow’s feet, or brow furrows → Botox or Dysport
• Overall skin quality and glow → EZ PRF or PRF alone
Many of our spring clients do a combination of treatments, for example, a Moxi laser session paired with a Botox touch-up for a comprehensive reset. During your complimentary consultation, Lynn will assess your skin and design a personalized plan that fits your goals, timeline, and budget.
What to Expect: Spring Treatment Timeline
Here is a rough guide to help you plan:
• Botox, Dysport, or light PRF treatment2–4 weeks before an event:
• Microneedling, Moxi laser4–6 weeks before an event:
• BBL Heroic or combination laser 6–8 weeks before an event:
