Summer’s glow can be deceptive. That golden tan might look beautiful now, but beneath the surface, your skin could be crying out for help. Months of sun exposure, heat, and environmental stressors can leave your complexion dull, dehydrated, and uneven. And let’s not even talk about the sudden “What happened to my skin?” moment when you notice faint fine lines, new pigmentation, or breakouts from sunscreen buildup.
The good news? You don’t have to wait until the colder months to give your skin and body a fresh start. August is the perfect time to reset with med spa treatments that not only reverse summer’s wear and tear but also prep you for the season ahead. Think of it as swapping out your beach tote for your fall wardrobe — but for your skin and confidence.
If you’ve been meaning to give your post-summer self a boost, keep reading. We’re going to cover exactly what a med spa is, the treatments you should consider now, and how to prep for them so you get the best possible results.
A med spa, short for “medical spa,” combines the relaxation of a traditional spa with the science-backed benefits of medical-grade treatments. Unlike a regular day spa, a med spa offers services that go beyond facials and massages — we’re talking wrinkle relaxers, advanced injectables, laser treatments, chemical peels, and skin rejuvenation therapies designed to create lasting changes.
The magic of a med spa is that it can address a variety of concerns in one place. Whether you’re dealing with sun damage, loss of facial volume, stubborn body fat, or even hair loss, a med spa is your one-stop shop for head-to-toe rejuvenation.
At Prima Doll Aesthetics, we believe fall prep starts in August. Here are some of our most popular medical spa services that can give you that “I’ve got my life together” kind of glow:
Jumping straight into a med spa service without preparation is like starting a workout program without stretching — possible, but not ideal. To get the best results, here’s how you can prep in August for the treatments that will carry you into fall looking fabulous.
Two weeks before your appointment, scale back sun exposure and wear broad-spectrum SPF daily. Not only does this protect your skin from further damage, but it also helps you avoid unwanted irritation during treatments like chemical peels, microneedling, and laser hair removal.
Dehydrated skin is more prone to flaking, irritation, and uneven results. Boost your water intake and consider adding a skin hydration treatment like a medical-grade facial before your main procedure. Hydrated skin responds better to treatments and recovers more quickly.
Some active ingredients like retinoids, AHAs, and BHAs can make skin more sensitive before treatments. You may need to pause these products a few days prior. Your med spa provider will guide you based on the service you choose, whether it’s facial rejuvenation, acne treatment, or non-surgical tightening.
Different treatments have different requirements:
Whether you’re looking for wrinkle relaxing treatments, skin resurfacing, or weight loss, discuss your desired outcome in detail with your provider. This is where customized treatment plans shine — you can combine services for a comprehensive, natural-looking transformation.
Some treatments, like microneedling or chemical peels, may require downtime or special post-care instructions. Stock up on gentle cleansers, soothing serums, and mineral sunscreen so you’re ready to nurture your skin afterward.
August is a sweet spot for med spa appointments because it gives your skin time to heal before fall events, weddings, or holiday photos. Start now, and your results will peak just when you need them most.
August isn’t just a “filler month” between summer vacations and fall festivities — it’s a prime opportunity to hit the refresh button. By tackling your skin and body concerns now, you’re not just fixing what summer left behind; you’re getting ahead of what the colder, drier months will bring.
Think of it as giving your skin a head start on resilience, so you can maintain that post-treatment glow well into the holiday season.
The beauty of medical spa services is that they’re not just for quick fixes — they’re part of a long-term strategy for looking and feeling your best. By starting your treatments in August and prepping properly, you set yourself up for ongoing improvements in skin texture, tone, and overall radiance.
Whether it’s the muscle-smoothing power of wrinkle relaxers, the volume-restoring magic of fillers, or the transformative effects of peels, microneedling, and biostimulators, there’s a combination that can be tailored to your unique needs.
And when you commit to the process, the results speak for themselves — in compliments, confidence, and that glow people can’t quite put their finger on.

From facial rejuvenation to body contouring and beyond, our non-surgical treatments are designed to work in harmony with your goals and lifestyle.
