Skin in the Seasons: How to Adjust Your MedSpa Treatments for Virginia’s Climate?
Virginia’s beautiful seasons bring a refreshing variety of weather, from blooming springtime to humid summers, crisp autumn air, and dry, chilly winters. But while the changes may be scenic, they can also be tough on your skin. That’s why it’s important to adjust your skincare and medspa treatments throughout the year—not just for beauty, but for skin health.
At Thrive MedSpa & Wellness, located in the heart of Haymarket, VA and led by Dr. Elizabeth Alexandra Zubowicz, we understand how Virginia’s climate affects your skin and body. We specialize in customized aesthetic and wellness treatments designed to support your natural beauty in every season.
Whether you're from Gainesville, Bristow, Warrenton, Manassas, Aldie, or surrounding areas, our clients trust us to guide them through season-specific treatments that keep their skin, hair, and body feeling radiant year-round.
Spring: A Season for Renewal and Repair
After months of winter, your skin may be dull, dry, or irritated. Spring is the perfect time to detoxify, exfoliate, and jumpstart collagen production before summer arrives.
Best Spring MedSpa Treatments:
Hydrodermabrasion Facials: Gently cleanse and exfoliate winter buildup to reveal smoother, glowing skin.
Chemical Peels: Remove dead skin layers, fade pigmentation, and promote cell turnover.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Facial Rejuvenation: Harness your body’s healing power to stimulate collagen and reduce signs of aging.
Face Reality Acne Treatments: Get ahead of seasonal breakouts caused by pollen, humidity, or clogged pores.
Spring is also a great time to start body contouring treatments, such as InMode Evolve Tone or Body Skin Tightening, so your results are ready by summer.
Summer: Protect, Hydrate, and Maintain
Virginia summers are hot, humid, and sunny, which can lead to oil buildup, dehydration, sun damage, and pigmentation. Your skin care routine during these months should focus on protection, hydration, and light maintenance.
Best Summer MedSpa Treatments:
Injectables (Botox/Dysport): Reduce fine lines and prevent squint-related wrinkles from forming in the sun.
Lightweight Facials: Keep pores clean and refreshed without overwhelming the skin.
Eyebrow and Lash Enhancement: Enjoy a no-makeup look for the pool or beach.
IV Therapy: Rehydrate from the inside out and restore essential nutrients lost to heat and sun exposure.
While laser treatments and peels are best done in cooler months, summer is an ideal time for maintenance injectables, lash & brow care, and facial contouring touch-ups.
Fall: Restore and Rebuild
After long days in the sun, your skin may be experiencing sun damage, dehydration, and pigmentation. Fall is the season to reverse summer’s effects and prepare for colder months ahead.
Best Fall MedSpa Treatments:
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL): Target sunspots, redness, and uneven skin tone.
Morpheus8 Microneedling: Improve texture, tighten sagging skin, and stimulate collagen regeneration.
Facial Contouring & Skin Tightening: Sculpt your jawline and mid-face while your skin is most receptive to change.
Body Contouring & Liposuction: Fall is the ideal downtime for body-sculpting treatments before holiday events.
Fall is also a great time to start Laser Hair Removal—as you’re less likely to have a tan or direct sun exposure, making your sessions safer and more effective.
Winter: Hydrate, Heal, and Nourish
Winter in Virginia often brings dry, cold air that can lead to flaky, irritated, and sensitive skin. During this season, your skin needs hydration, nourishment, and repair.
Best Winter MedSpa Treatments:
PRP Microneedling: Deeply rejuvenates dry, aging skin with minimal sun exposure post-treatment.
Facials & Hydrodermabrasion: Restore moisture and revitalize dry, cracked winter skin.
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT): If you're experiencing fatigue, hair thinning, or weight changes, winter is an ideal time to address underlying imbalances.
Hair Restoration Treatments: Our non-surgical hair restoration options, including PRP and regenerative therapies, help tackle seasonal shedding and thinning.
Weight Loss Support: Winter can lead to sluggish metabolism—our medical weight loss programs can help clients stay on track before the New Year.
Since your skin is less exposed to sunlight, winter is ideal for stronger treatments that require downtime—such as chemical peels, Morpheus8, and IPL.
