Post-Summer Skin Rehab: Erasing Lake Hefner Sun Damage
As the blazing Oklahoma summer finally starts to give way to crisp, cool autumn mornings, we all breathe a collective sigh of relief. It is time for football, sweaters, and pumpkin spice.
But when you finally pack away the swimsuits and take a good look in the mirror, you might notice that summer left a few unwanted souvenirs behind. All those long weekends boating at Lake Hefner, sitting poolside, or attending outdoor weddings have likely altered your complexion.
You might see new clusters of freckles on your nose, a patch of hyperpigmentation on your forehead, or just a thick, dull texture from months of heavy sunscreen and sweat.
Fall is the official season of Skin Rehab. Now that you are spending less time in the direct sun and the UV index is dropping, it is the safest and most effective time to erase the damage. At KC Wellness, we use advanced Sciton laser technology to hit the reset button on your skin.
Step 1: Erase the Spots with BBL
The most obvious sign of summer damage is pigment. Brown spots, age spots, and uneven skin tone add years to your appearance.
Broad Band Light (BBL) is our gold-standard treatment for pulling that damage out of the skin. BBL uses targeted light energy to seek out excess melanin. It gently heats the dark spots, breaking the pigment apart. Over the course of a few days, that pigment rises to the surface like coffee grounds and naturally flakes away.
The Result: A clear, bright, even complexion.
The Investment: We recommend a package of 3 BBL Face & Neck sessions for $1,200.00 to completely clear the deep-seated summer damage.
Step 2: Polish the Texture with Moxi
While BBL handles the color, the Moxi Laser handles the texture. Summer elements cause the skin to thicken and lose its refined surface. Moxi is a gentle, fractionated laser that creates thousands of micro-injuries in the skin, triggering massive collagen production.
The Result: It smooths away the dull, rough texture, shrinks the appearance of pores, and leaves the skin with a tight, glassy, polished finish.
The Ultimate Fall Reset: The Combo
For the fastest, most dramatic post-summer recovery, Kelli Cossey recommends stacking these treatments in a single appointment.
Our BBL + Moxi Combo ($950.00) is the ultimate "Total Glow" treatment. We use the BBL to clear the canvas of sun spots and redness, and then immediately follow it with the Moxi laser to polish the texture and rebuild the collagen. You get double the results with a single healing phase.
Rebuild Your Barrier
Your skin barrier took a beating this summer. As you recover from your laser treatments, it is crucial to switch your skincare routine back to barrier-repairing products. We highly recommend using SkinMedica’s TNS Ceramide Treatment Cream to lock in moisture and protect your fresh new skin from the incoming autumn wind.
