When to Book What: Seasonal Timing for Fat Dissolving, Microneedling & Regenerative Skin Treatments

Article 12

As we conclude our comprehensive series on aesthetic and regenerative treatments, Dr Adam wants to help you understand not just what treatments are available — from fat dissolving injections to microneedling and advanced regenerative therapies — but when is the best time of year to schedule each for optimal results. Timing your treatments around the seasons can enhance outcomes, minimize downtime, and keep you looking your best all year round.

Fat Dissolving Injections: Best Timing for Contouring

Fat dissolving injections, using agents like deoxycholic acid, are ideal during fall and winter months. The gradual reduction of fat takes time — often multiple sessions spaced weeks apart — so starting in the cooler months means you’ll see smoother, more defined contours by spring and summer. Cooler weather also helps manage swelling and bruising, with less sun exposure to risk hyperpigmentation during recovery.

Dr Adam notes, “Patience is key here — fat dissolving injections are not quick fixes, but with correct timing and realistic expectations, they provide a natural, sculpted look.”

Microneedling and Its Alternatives: When to Refresh Your Skin

Microneedling, along with its cousins like RF microneedling and dermarollers, works best in the off-sun months — autumn and winter — when your skin is less exposed to UV rays and healing is safer. Treatments promote collagen production and improve skin texture, with results developing over weeks.

Dr Adam advises, “Avoid intense sun exposure post-treatment to prevent pigmentation. Starting microneedling in the cooler seasons fits recovery perfectly and prepares your skin for the brighter months ahead.”

Winter: Ideal for Collagen Stimulation and Healing

Treatments that stimulate collagen, such as PLLA (Poly-L-Lactic Acid) and Polynucleotides, shine in winter. The slow-build effect matches the natural rest cycle of your skin during colder months, with results blooming by spring. It’s also a time of minimal sun exposure, reducing pigmentation risks after treatment.

Spring: Skin Preparation and Regenerative Boost

Spring is an excellent season for PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and Exosomes, which regenerate and strengthen skin ahead of summer. These treatments boost skin health, hydration, and glow, preparing your complexion for increased sun exposure while requiring minimal downtime.

Dr Adam comments, “PRP treatments require specialist phlebotomy training — a reassurance that only qualified practitioners like myself perform them safely. I will also soon be offering Exosome therapy, which provides a complementary cellular boost.”

Summer: Maintenance and Protection

During summer, it’s best to avoid invasive treatments (such as PLLA or injectable polynucleotides) that can increase sun sensitivity. Instead, focus on gentle maintenance treatments — like topical polynucleotide creams or serums — combined with diligent sun protection. This approach allows your skin to stay healthy and resilient while minimizing the risk of hyperpigmentation or post‑treatment irritation.That said, this doesn’t forbid you from having injectable treatments during the summer, as long as you’re committed to using a high‑level SPF and following Dr Adam’s aftercare instructions closely.

Autumn: Rejuvenate and Prep for Festivities

Autumn offers a great window for refreshing your skin with treatments like PLLA or microneedling, allowing healing time before the busy festive season. Initiating fat dissolving sessions now ensures your contouring results are ready for holiday photos and gatherings.

How to Choose and Plan Your Treatments

Every treatment has its best season and protocol to fit your lifestyle and skin goals. Here’s a quick reference to the core treatment categories and their seasonal highlights:

• Fat Dissolving Injections — Start in autumn/winter, multiple sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
• Microneedling and RF Microneedling — Autumn and winter months for safer healing.
