Seongdong-gu Dermatology Specialists: Skin Care to Consider at the End of Summer and Beginning of Fall [Skin Botox, Lituo, etc.]

Early Fall Skin Care

Hello, this is Raon Dermatology in Seongdong-gu!

Although it is still hot during the day, the wind is fairly cool in the mornings and evenings in late August and September. During this period, your skin can be just as difficult to manage as your clothing choices. It feels tight in the morning, becomes oily in the afternoon, and blemishes that were not visible until yesterday may suddenly stand out! This short transition between seasons is when the skin tends to fluctuate the most throughout the year, but it is also the best time to begin fall skin care. Let us organize the preparations you need now, one by one.

Early Fall Skin Care

Changes That Occur in the Skin

There are three factors that affect the skin during this period. First, the daily temperature difference, which can reach around 10°C, repeatedly disrupts skin temperature and the balance of oil and moisture. In addition, as humidity drops rapidly, moisture evaporation accelerates through the barrier weakened over the summer. This is why tightness immediately after cleansing and afternoon oiliness can occur together.

The final factor is the cumulative damage caused by midsummer UV exposure. Damage sustained in July and August does not appear immediately. It remains latent and begins to surface around this time in the form of pigmentation and reduced elasticity! Ultimately, transitional-season care should be designed around three areas: smoothing out an uneven skin texture, replenishing the barrier and moisture, and restoring lost elasticity. This is the time to provide care that helps the skin adapt to seasonal changes.

<Reasons for Changes in the Skin>

• Changes in skin temperature and disruption of the oil-moisture balance due to daily temperature differences

• Dryness, tightness, and rougher skin texture caused by lower humidity

• Pigmentation and reduced elasticity following cumulative summer UV exposure

Changes That Occur in the Skin

Skin Botox

The first option for refining rough skin texture is Skin Botox. When diluted toxin is injected in small amounts across the dermal layer, the activity of tiny muscle fibers and sebaceous glands within the dermis is regulated, making the skin’s surface appear firmer. Enlarged pores become tighter and sebum production is balanced, which can also reduce concerns about makeup becoming uneven during the seasonal transition!

Because it works on the skin rather than the muscles, facial expressions remain unchanged, which can make the treatment feel less burdensome. It can relatively quickly refine skin that has developed a rough texture due to a disrupted oil-moisture balance caused by daily temperature changes, making it a suitable first step for transitional-season care. Another advantage is that no special recovery period is required after treatment.

• Diluted Botox is injected broadly into the dermal layer

• Helps regulate skin texture, pores, and excessive skin secretions

• Improves skin texture affected by an imbalance of oil and moisture

Elravie Lituo & Balance

Next are the skin barrier and moisture. Elravie Lituo is a booster that directly supplies ECM components, which are key substances that make up the skin. It immediately replenishes spaces between damaged tissues and encourages fibroblast activity, helping to restore the barrier function weakened during the summer over the long term. Its defining feature is that it fills the skin with the structural components themselves rather than merely promoting regeneration.

Elravie Balance, which is paired with it, focuses on moisture. It fills the dermis with highly moisture-retentive hyaluronic acid to improve inner dryness and restore the oil-moisture balance. Lituo builds the framework of the skin barrier, while Balance fills it with moisture. Since this combination may also help soothe skin that has become sensitive before the dry season, the greatest efficiency can be expected when they are performed together:)

HiloWave

If you are experiencing fine lines and reduced volume along with a dry, lackluster appearance, it is time to consider HiloWave. It is a booster with a dual-HA structure combining high- and low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid. While the high-molecular-weight HA remains between the tissues to retain moisture and volume, the highly diffusive low-molecular-weight HA penetrates into the deeper dermis. During this process, collagen and elastin production is stimulated, helping rebuild elasticity from within!

In addition to improving inner dryness and creating a subtle, hydrated glow, it may also provide natural-looking volume to areas that have lost fullness. Since concerns about nodules are relatively low and the recovery period tends to be short, it can be selected without much burden even at the beginning of fall, when many important appointments and events take place! Continuing at intervals of two to three months can help build up changes in elasticity more consistently:)

• Combination of high- and low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid

• A booster that enhances moisture and elasticity together

• Improves skin hydration, skin texture, and elasticity

A Guide to Transitional-Season Care

The order of these three treatments can be adjusted according to your skin condition. If rough texture, pores, and excess oil are your main concerns, Skin Botox may come first. If you have sensitive, tight-feeling skin associated with barrier damage, Lituo and Balance may be prioritized. If lackluster skin and fine lines are accompanied by reduced volume, HiloWave may be placed first. Establishing priorities through an assessment can create a well-structured plan without unnecessary overlap.

Timing is also important. Starting your first treatment during September allows the effects to settle in before the dry season fully arrives! Remember that the transitional season is both a time when the skin fluctuates and the time when fall skin care can be most effective. Rather than putting it off, consider starting your preparations now.
